This will probably be put into the Worst Edit Ideas thread, but whatever.

Did Harrison Ford play in enough pre-ANH titles for us to rotoscope him into a Han Solo backstory? We’d have to do it frame-by-frame, of course, and we’d have to change his costume…

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

No way is there enough footage of him to do anything bigger than a gag trailer.

You could have him deliver a letter to Grand Moff James Coburn.

I always wanted to see the Han Solo trilogy on film. That was a sad story.

I wish that I could just wish my feelings away...but I can't. Wishful wishing can only lead to wishes wished for in futile wishfulness, which is not what I wish to wish for.

This is, without a doubt, the most insane thread I've started.

I'm sorry, guys.

You're very welcome!

In my defense, I started this thread back in late 2012 and was feeling somewhat insane at that time IIRC.

I'm sure a Young Han Solo movie is being bandied about at Disney. ;)

Where were you in '77?

I hope so! Do you think they'd screw it up?

When we meet Han he IS NOT A HERO. Any Young Han tale would under mine that.

Is that a mine below another mine?

It would be cool to see a young Han Solo movie where Han turns from a decent guy into a rather villainous dude who looks after only himself. It could work if they made it clear that he was once a hero but had to bury that part of himself in order to survive in the galaxy. I'd say animated would be the way to go, as this isn't James Bond; Harrison is Han.

A younger Han movie would be a diff actor anyway since the character would be younger. But that's not a fan edit anymore.

But why does he have to be a 'hero' in the film? He wasn't any more of a bad guy than I am. A drug dealing scoundrel? Yes. But not a bad guy. There are several very good films about such people. Disney hasn't and wont make one though.

Disney's not capable of selling him as scum, but I think we could get a reluctant hero out of their films. Just wish they weren't making them at all...
