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.

The Asian market hated it, it has the least "return viewing" (going back to the theatre to watch it) of any modern (prequels and sequels) SW's film. It's now at or under 50% on every major reviewing site that allows reviews by customers. That said one bad film won't ruin the property. If SWIX is HORRIBLE, just terrible, it will still make 3 quarters of a billion dollars. It will. If every negative thing everyone has said in this thread is true, and only becomes worse, it will still take in $750 million +... |

That said, I'll be surprised if it doesn't earn at least $1.1 billion, minimum. Solo, on the other hand... |

Apparently, the first trailer for Solo will be on Good Morning American Monday morning.
Disney/Lucasfilm didn't want to air it during the Super Bowl... |

Makes sense, the massive amount of viewers between the two is so close that I have no idea what the **** they're thinking. It's a shame they don't have the money to buy the advertiser space to air it....

On a side and unrelated note:
2017 movies that the Rock starred in made 2.2 BILLION. The wrestler. He has done well for himself. |

Can't wait to make fun of the trailer when I finally see it. Can't believe the little twerp from Hail Caesar is Han freakin Solo. Should be a riot. **** Disney
