Solo: A Star Wars Story 2018 Spoiler Thread
http://www.starwars.com/news/donald-...and-alone-film
Donald Glover is officially a young Lando Calrissian! Lucasfilm announced today that Donald Glover, an acclaimed actor, award-winning writer, and Grammy-nominated artist, will be playing the part of Lando Calrissian in the still-untitled Han Solo Star Wars film, helmed by directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Glover will join Alden Ehrenreich — previously cast as Han Solo — in bringing two iconic Star Wars characters back to the big screen, but at a time in their lives previously unexplored. This new film depicts Lando in his formative years as a scoundrel on the rise in the galaxy’s underworld — years before the events involving Han, Leia, and Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back and his rise to Rebel hero in Return of the Jedi. “We’re so lucky to have an artist as talented as Donald join us,” said Lord and Miller. “These are big shoes to fill, and an even bigger cape, and this one fits him perfectly, which will save us money on alterations. Also, we’d like to publicly apologize to Donald for ruining Comic-Con for him forever.” Glover is best known for creating and starring in the critically acclaimed FX series Atlanta (which had the highest premiere numbers for any basic cable comedy show since 2013), as well as for starring in four seasons of the show Community, and for his Grammy-nominated album Because the Internet, performed under the name Childish Gambino. In addition, Glover appeared in the Academy Award-nominated The Martian, and will be seen in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming. The untitled Han Solo movie is set for release in 2018.

SO many reasons.... I liken it to the Old Republic in that you have a baseline to work with but unlike the mess that IS the new trilogy( and probably every trilogy beyond and after ), there are literally no constraints or the laundry list of expectations that come with said trilogies. These are meant to be fun movies that fill in unaccounted for time and that round out character development for already established characters. I'm not saying that quality control is not important, but these movies aren't getting hen-pecked to death by Disney focus groups either. A condensed break down of the new trilogy goes something like this: 7: "HEY, IT'S STAR WARS! LOOK EVERYONE; IT'S STAR WARS! WE'RE GOING TO DO STAR WARS-Y THINGS BECAUSE ITS STAR WARS"! 8: Jesus tap-dancing Christ; someone reign this Abrams fool in and develop/do something that doesn't resemble a commercial for a box of "C-3P0's cereal" for ****s sake. Oops! Took it a little too far. 9: Welp, enjoy fixing this mess, dip shit! No such quandary for the stand-alone films. You either hit or miss at the plate. |

I had low expectations, and enjoyed this one a lot. The Star Wars stories have clearly been the best part of the reboot to me. This movie is just a lot of fun.

I enjoyed it, so did the boys. Hard to see another character play Han, it’s a tough spot. I would watch it again

Saw today at a huge theatre that was sold out. It was a really fun movie. Hans, Chewy, the Falcon etc. it’s like revisiting long time old friends.
Wasn’t expecting much and it’s not a great movie but it is a real fun popcorn movie. Was it just me or the movie theatre but most of the movie was dark. I understand the Planet was overcast. It’s a dark bar. But was that the plan? |

Just watched it. Wasn't expecting much, but holy cow, it turned out to be great! I really loved it. Loved all the witty banter and tough guy dialogue. It felt alot like a New Hope and Empire with that dialogue. Dont let the reviews fool you, its a great movie and alot of fun. Ron Howard did an amazing salvage job. His best movie in a long time.
oh and Keria.....

Apparently there is a very "Shadows of the Empire" vibe to this film.
I am completely looking forward to this. |

Saw it tonight. Was much better than I expected after reading several reviews, here and other places. Fun flick with plenty of action. Did someone here really compare this to the first 3 awful SW movies?(well, first 2. I thought Revenge of The Sith was decent).

Thank you for pointing that out. I saw it last night (It was OK) and wasn't sure if it was the movie or I was going blind.
