I try not to do or think things out of spite, but I kinda want this movie to be great just for all the people howling that this is all such a terrible, unthinkable idea. I don't think it's terrible or unthinkable or anything, I just think it's one of the least interesting ideas for a Star Wars movie they could have done, with the added difficulty of replacing Harrison Ford. Plus the director chaos indicates something odd is up with it. But I'd be thrilled if it's good. I really think one of the most terrible ideas for a Star Wars film that's bouncing around is the Obi Wan movie. I think it's supposed to take place between episodes 3 and 4, which, as far as I'm concerned, involved Obi Wan sitting around Tatooine for 20 years and covertly keeping an eye on Luke. Maybe occasionally he has to fend off some Tusken Raiders, but, dude de-limbed Darth Vader on a lava planet, I'm sure he handled it just fine. I feel like for Solo, it seems like they totally redid the whole movie with Ron Howard now. I mean, they don't even have Lord & Miller listed on IMDB for the movie anymore. |

chalkdevil 😈 The point of an Obi-Wan movie is less anything to do with Obi-Wan and more everything to do with Ewan MacGregor, which is reason enough for me to want one.

Well Obi-Wan is objectively the baddest-ass. |

Those posters are beautiful. I have no wall space left, but I'd be inclined to get one.
Here's the new trailer:
Fan wank seems to be at a minimum (or at least subtle), and it looks more promising than I expected. As with the previous three movies I will remain cautiously optimistic.

Han must've spent the 5-10 years between this movie and Star Wars rubbing mud all over the inside of the Falcon.

For some reason, that scene of Han stepping into the middle of the dusty street and unsnapping his holster makes me hopeful for the movie.

I noticed (at around 1:50 or so) that Han was wearing what looked like some kind of really early Pebble watch. I decided to search the Internet for that, and why did I do that? The first result was from a blog that is dedicated to wristwatches in movies and seriously there are people* who do things with their free time that I just can't understand**. * The blogger also hated The Last Jedi, so their opinion is already suspect
** he said, posting on a forum*** that spun off from the comments section of a pop culture website

That detail to me makes it seem like they are leaning hard on that Han Solo Adventures spinoff book series from the very early 80s (they make a much bigger deal of what a good gunslinger he is, and that's kind of his signature move). I loved those books, and so this movie has always seemed like a no-brainer for me. I loved that part too. |

I know people have been predicting that they were gonna go beat-by-beat on Han's back story, but this trailer pretty much confirms that a) that game where he meets Lando is where he wins the Falcon b) we see him liberate Chewie and get the Life Debt c) That sequence where he's flying the Falcon around that vortex is the Kessel Run.

When Vader shows up on Bespin, Chewie and Leia just freak out, but Han immediately reacts and opens up on him. |

I hope they borrow equally from the ludicrous Lando Calrissian Adventures books of the same vintage and have space whales and shit all up in this mug. |

Can you imagine the riots if he did that? |

It was supposed to be a fight, but because Harrison Ford was banged up he couldn't film it or something like that? And it does kinda go against Indy's character a bit, I don't remember him so casually killing another person like that. It makes for a great scene for sure, but when it wasn't originally scripted I can see why someone might want to redo to their original vision. |

Ford had dysentery and couldn't do the scene, and suggested he "just shoot the sunovabitch instead". Spielberg liked the idea so much they went with it. Not sure how much vision Lucas had in Raiders since Kasdan and Spielberg had equal say in the story. Out of character for Indy is up for debate. He tries to sucker punch that mechanic in the airplane fight; he goes to draw his gun on Belloq twice when they meet at the café in Cairo. |

There is a bit of difference in sucker punching and just drawing a gun(not firing), this was just casual killing. It is a better scene for it, but Im not gonna blame Lucas for something that didn't happen. |

He casually threw that sergeant out of the truck in Raiders and intentionally whipped that dude into the ceiling fan in Temple of Doom, so I think Indy has a pretty relaxed attitude towards preserving the lives of people he deems to be a threat. Also with the mechanic didn't he not have a gun with him which is the only reason he gets into fisticuffs at all instead of just shooting the dude? |

Everytime I've heard faux Han talk I just can't buy it. Sounds nothing like Harrison ford. I just watched the trailer. I'm still at "meh". The whole concept seems pointless. I don't feel like Han is a character who needs any explaining. Nothing about that character seemed mysterious or incomplete. And yes, the fact that this kid sounds nothing like Harrison Ford really bothers me. Now, Lando, on the other hand, is a character I'd be interested in seeing some backstory on. So, for that reason, I'm slightly interested in this. But I'm not sure I'm interested enough to see it in the theater. |

I don't think any sort of chivalric code bound Indy to get in a fist fight against a guy wielding a giant deadly weapon. Just like Han wasn't bound to wait for Greedo to actually shoot at him from 8 inches away after Greedo had drawn a weapon and announced his intention to kill him. |

I like Han and want to see more of him, regardless of whether it is "necessary" to explain his character. Of course, whether or not the movie is actually good and particularly whether that kid can convince me he's Han are other matters entirely. |

When I lost my old watch for a couple of days I thought to myself, “I’m going to actually do research before getting my next watch” and man is there a lot of that stuff out there—it was easy to get sucked into it, and I still have follow a blog dedicated to vintage Seikos (like most blogs infrequently-updated, but there really isn’t that much to say about vintage Seikos anyway). But as one of those people who loves spotting old cars in movies it doesn’t seem all that weird to me. |
