It would be hard to find the same way looking Han. So get over it and let's hope it gonna be better then TLJ.
This guy looks close enough...
I'm on the same boat as Plansix, hopefully this shows that recycling original characters and stories from the previous films doesn't work and we finaly get something new.
This idea is particularly stupid because the best part of the Solo story in the orginal SW is his personal arc, turning from a rogue selfich A-hole to a hero. Either he's going to be a A-hole the whole movie (without the Ford charisma) or they are going to shoe-in the fact that he's been a hero the whole time...
I'm just sad that Ron Howard is involved. I wish he would stick to well written moveis instead of the Dan Brown shits or this.
That's the major problem with Star Wars if it doesn't have connection with the main story (The Jedi, The Empire, The Rebellion) and at least one of the characters. Then it isn't Star Wars. The video game world has been trying to out run the problem for almost 25 years and runs into the same dead end. Without a major character from the main story it is dead on arrival.
They are still making a lot of money but it's amazing how many production issues they've been having in the Star Wars films while Disney's other properties (Marvel, Pixar, Disney animation) are all on fire right now. It feels more like WB's DC universe sometimes.

The movie industry will have the same problem.
The best starwars video games that I played had no direct character connections really. (I'm thinking Knights of the Old Republic, Jedi Knight 2:Jedi Outcast, and the old original Tie Fighter that I installed off like 18 floppy disks)
I'm pretty sure its not inherently impossible to make a decent movie. But I doubt they will. Although I will watch this, Im sure it will be better than EP. 7&8. its impossible not to be.
I don't think I've ever heard of a movie I liked having reshoots. writings an issue but thats what the non episodic years are suppose to fix. Marvel gets around this by doing the very Disney thing of throwing money at the issue and keeping 6 maybe movies under some sort of production probably..
I kind of liked R1, but honestly it wasn't that great of a movie. It exceeded my dismal expectations (the trailers sucked), but it was just a throwaway of a movie to me. Something to watch once or twice then never again.
It's disappointing that that seems to be the bar by which this movie's filming/production process is being judged.
As long as these terrible movies make enough profit, there is no reason to get a good script/ good actors. I am really curious how many SW films they will release until saturation (< 400 mil or so)
One trilogy, once-a-year spinoffs, and a few thousand lines of toys. The chance of this series failing to be milkable for the next decade is close to zero.
The problem with this franchise is that every movie is still based on the original trilogy, which is a huge problem when they are releasing a new movie every year. Marvel releases 2-3 new movies a year and they don't have the same problem since almost every title has something different to offer. Of course, even as I say that, the SW films still have a much higher average gross per movie than Marvel does.
Marvel has the luxury that their "fun" approach that kind of spits in the face of continuity or good storytelling somehow works with the iteration of the characters as imagined at present. People expect little more than a dumb popcorn movie, so it's easy enough to make that work. Star Wars fans are much more unforgiving. It dilutes the brand, yes, but it makes great money and to be fair there are a few genuine gems here and there.

I expect more from superheros movie, and yes i can't stand at most of marvel film
As long as people keep paying for shit movies, they'll keep making shit movies. If you've paid money for a movie you hate, you're just as responsible for the next crappy iteration.
