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.

I think it is just a general media freak out. There has been no trailer or marketing yet...just a poster with the word SOLO on it.

With nothing out there, folks imaginations are running wild.....

The ship made the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs according to ANH, do we have any confirmation of the pilot? Maybe it was Lando and not Han?

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.

There is absolutely no new information in that article. I laid out the entire scenario back in late June/early July and nothing has changed, other than additional scenes and TLJ’s reactions.

It might be wise for Lucasfilm to start tempering their expectations based on the reaction to TLJ. Rogue One seems to have blown them way out of propoertion.

Solo could have the best story, direction and VFX of any Star Wars film ever but if Alden Ehrenreich sucks, the film will crash and burn.

It’s also worth pointing out that there was a lot of this type of speculation/rumors about Rogue One’s reshoots - and I think most will agree that those turned out okay.

Really, we won’t know how it all turns out until we see Howard’s vision on the big screen.

First I had seen of it.

Yeah, that’s my concern with this one. I just don’t see Ehrenreich capturing the character, and if that doesn’t happen they are ****ed regardless. I hope I’m wrong. Because there has been no teaser and we are 5 months away I’m concerned lol

I'm not the least excited for this and don't plan on watching it.

As I said in the other thread the only "prequel" idea I actually like would be a McGregor/Kenobi film. I may be in the minority but I like Han's origins being a mystery...

There’s no teaser trailer because filming didn’t end until late September and one pass hasn’t been completed yet.

A trailer won’t be released until there’s a solid rough edit completed because if they hand over footage to be cut into a trailer and some of that footage doesn’t appear in the film (ala Rogue One) they’ll face a backlash, which is something they don’t need at this point.

In addition, Lucasfilm only promotes one Star Wars film at a time. Rogue One had no trailer at this time in 2016 because the focus was still on TFA. There was no TLJ trailer at this time last year because the focus was R1.

I would expect the Solo marketing push to begin mid-January once the TLJ has run its course in theatres...the marketing needs to start earlier than R1 or TLJ due to the May release date.

Any chance it gets pushed to December 2018?

The fact that Shrike has made it in to this movie tells me that many people, though working for Disney as well as LFL, have spent a GREAT deal of time in the old EU, and are bringing much material from that source to the new mission.

Excellent.

Not really necessary, but a great trilogy.
