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.

Not much, but here’s a rundown of what l caught a glimpse of. There’s more obviously but this was the big stuff. Han walking, angle only shows his holstered blaster Wookiees getting transferred somewhere. Planet looked new, never seen it before Shot from behind of Han approaching a large crowd surrounding a table or something Close up of Han’s dice There’s like one shot of Woody’s character, but it was in a dark alley area and he looked paranoid Han doing his “Yehoo!” yell and the Falcon going through light speed Chewbacca roaring and running next to Han Somebody says “it’s not worth the risk”, pretty sure Lando says it There is a cut-to-black and somebody says “l’ll make him pay” and there’s a huge long rifle on a table with some armor piece next to it Didn’t see much of GoT chick’s character. There’s a “This Summer” title card that shows right after a glimpse of a handful of stormtroopers walking down an alley. Quote:

We're almost certain to see the Kessel Run right? All in agreement here?

With all the reshoots and how little we've heard about Han, I'm beginning to think the movie title is a pun, and Lando will be the star that does whatever it is that gets done in this movie... solo. And yes, we will see the Kessel run.

The entire film was a Page One Re-shoot and scenes were added that weren't in the original script

Kasdan knows the Han Solo character better than anyone and I talked to a Lucasfilm employee yesterday that said Ron Howard was amazing and really brought out great performances.
I haven’t heard confirmation about the exact additions but the additional scenes are said to be like the additions to Rogue One.
Spoiler!

I don’t know if this is reputable or not. I do have concerns that they fired the original director and brought Howard into save it. Also, it’s extremely hard to recreate an iconic character like that. I 100% hope they nail it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
