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.

with solo crashing at the box office.
How long do you guys think it will take for Kathleen kennedy to be shitcanned ? I'm guessing when episode 9 fails to reach 1 billion. Bob iger must be pissed Disney just spent a mint updating their parks with Starwars shit. Thanks Rian wish I could be there to see your face when your new movies get dumped in the trash can. |

Amusing considering it might be the best of the new films.

How do they **** up a license to print money like star wars?
At this rate the next movie will be called Star Wars: Chapter Eleven. |

People just finally have Star Wars saturation. The general public didn't need another Star Wars movie six months after the last one, and so they're just not that interested. It's a shame because The Last Jedi and Solo have both received good reviews. (91% and 71% respectively). So, this isn't a Phantom Menace/Attack of the Clones disaster. But those films made vastly more amounts of money because Star Wars was a rarer commodity at the time. Lucasfilm and Disney may have miscalculated on releasing the anthology films at the same time as the main saga films. Solo probably should have been pushed back to December like Rogue One. |

The only thing that Rogue One has over Solo is Vader. Cheap trick.
I like the characters and performances a lot more in Solo. Larry Kasdan can write the **** out of a film. |

I think the timing is bad, and this is also a "**** you" from the fans for Ep. 8.

The whole family is holding out for Solo to be released on Netflix and It's not like we're looking forward to it.
It's a sad state of affairs for this franchise. |
