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.

It doesn't matter if the movie is based off of a few lines from the OT. If it's done well, it will be extremely enjoyable.
I hadn't thought of the Jabba aspect but it makes more sense for Han to be an ally of Jabba's in this film, rather than someone that's drawn his ire. Of course, this likely means more Tatooine (blech) but as long as it's entertaining, I'm good with it. I don't expect this film to be dark, whatsoever. It should be uplifting, witty, fun and basically, the opposite of Rogue One. |

Han generally lightens the mood wherever he goes( sans getting killed by emo-puke in VII ), so I fully expect this movie to be very adventurous and gregarious.
Good time Han is back. |

If the film follows my plot, here are the potential locations we'll visit: Carida/Imperial Academy Kashyyyk/Imperial Prison World Corellia/Coruscant/Wherever the gambling takes place Kessel/Formos (this is supposed to be the start/finish of the Kessel run) Then if you really want to have a scene at the end with Jabba, you can put it on Nal Hutta or Nar Shadaa, which have been locations we've only seen in comics and video games. Or hell, Jabba has a starship. Put him on that. |

The helmet actually doesn't look correct at all. The bottom part is all slanty.
That's not Vader. It looks more like one of these helmets, but it's not quite the same. Guessing that's completely new kind of trooper/imperial. |

What I've found interesting is that since Ron Howard has taken over the Director's chair and shown what, a dozen or more pics from the set, not one has included Alden Ehrenreich.
