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's hard to write good dialogue for goofy science fiction films. Kasdan might be the best at it. The interactions between Han and Kira were spot on. All the characters just felt very believable. Agreed what someone said about the film being a little dark, visually, though. Also, have to say, the spice mines of kessel, the maw cluster and everything to do with the run were just great looking. That's about how I imagined it. Also...loved, loved, loved Lando's outfits.

We haven’t even talked much about L3-37. She was awesome. One of the best Droid characters I’ve seen in any Star Wars movie.

Sounds like it is a good movie to. Johnson may have a dealt a hell of a long term blow to the franchise.

Also, Ron Howard got his ugly brother into the movie in a way that actually fit. I laughed when he showed up.
My only criticism is that they pulled their punches with the spaghetti western stuff at the end of the movie. They could have really leaned into it and done something cool. Alas. |
