Re: Han Solo: Solo
Totally not surprised at all to see Boba Fett finally getting a story that focuses on him even a little bit lol. Never seen another character in any other movie or form of fiction receive so much fanaticism for virtually nothing. He even DIED like a complete punk.
I'm guessing we're gonna find out not only how Han Solo knew his name in Jedi, but how Boba seemed to know exactly how to find the Falcon in Empire. Maybe Han tried something like that before...

Re: Han Solo: Solo
The Fett movie is safe they really can't screw up cannon with a movie focused on him to much. Han they can really screw the pooch if they dont watch what there doing. But everyone (including myself) seem to be waiting for Disney to fuck it up hopefully they realize that and set out to prove us wrong.

As long as Lucas, Speilberg and Bret Ratner stay away from this, and they let JJ Abrams do his thing, it can do no wrong.

Re: Han Solo: Solo
JJ Abrams isn't controlling the whole thing just one film.

Re: Han Solo: Solo
I don't want a Han Solo film, sorry.
Young, pre-episode IV Han? I'm not sure I want to know anything about that Han. I like Han how he is, just a normal guy, doesn't believe in the Force, doesn't agree with the Empire, falls into a situation and it makes him. I don't really want to know if he was a good guy or a bad guy before he meets Obi Wan. It worries me that they've announced it without a writer or director. There's so many good characters out there (BOBA FETT) who you can do a stand alone film with without risking fucking with the good stuff. They don't need to touch Han, though shouldn't touch Han. It's too easily fucked up.
We're going to have shit Star Wars films now, that's a fact. The Marvel experiment has proven that, they'll go great ones, average ones and shit ones. Han Solo should not be within that roulette

Re: Han Solo: Solo
Said the same thing. It's great for the comic film industry but other franchises shouldn't try to do it.

Re: Han Solo: Solo
Just checking.
You do realize George Lucas is still staying on as an adviser for these films, right?
Just checking.
Re: Han Solo: Solo
This is the first time since the Disney "big bang" I've been worried, it's the first time I've smelt dollars over creativity. They're going with Boba and Han cause they think they're the hardcore fans favourites, not because they're the most interesting.

Re: Han Solo: Solo
It doesn't change the fact I'd rather not know Han's back story. Some characters benefit from an air of mystique about their background, I think Han Solo is one of those.

Re: Han Solo: Solo
I don't exactly understand how it could damage the character considering Solo hasn't been in a Star Wars movie for 30 years. If this was the very next installment of the series since his last appearance and the series was still relatively new, I would see that argument better, but it would be hard to screw up Harrison Ford's Han Solo character unless they just made him look like a total weakling which I seriously doubt they'll do. Besides, it doesn't really say exactly how far back they're going with his character, it's unlikely we're getting a teenage Solo in a stand-alone film. Especially considering Boba Fett is clearly bounty-hunting in this movie, so it couldn't be that long before Episode IV. Probably just some crazy story from around the same time he got the Falcon, 2-3 years prior to New Hope tops.
Re: Han Solo: Solo
It's not that I disagree with anything you're saying, it's more that I just enjoy Han Solo the way he is. I don't really need any more.
To take a personal example; I love Wedge Antilles, a fairly minor character but one that could have an amazing back story. He's the only pilot aside from Luke to survive both Death Star attacks, clearly a massive hero for the Rebellion, there's the whole Rogue Squadron thing to examine, that's the kinda story I want to see in these stand alone films. Like I say, I just think you leave the main characters to the main story.

Re: Han Solo: Solo
Though I actually prefer this to the Yoda backstory that was originally rumored. I got enough of Yoda in 5/6 of the other movies, so that's definitely one character we don't need any more of. At least with Boba Fett, they can give the fans a reason for his unwarranted praise. As long as they stay away from a lot of the batshit crazy ideas the fan fiction writers came up with, it should be fine imo. Like the resurrected Darth Maul...
Fuck that nonsense.
Ok then, I see what you mean. Fair enough.

Re: Han Solo: Solo
Yeah I get that.
I think Boba Fett is the perfect example, cause let's face it; Boba isn't a character, he's a helmet. There's no exposition or development of his character in V or VI, all we know is he's a bounty hunter and he's not a good guy. He's the ideal guy to have a stand alone film. Aside from Wedge Antilles other people I think would work are;
Dengar
Palpatine/Plagueis
Ki-Adi-Mundi

Re: Han Solo: Solo
I don't think they'd fuck with a fan favourite. You'd have a lot of pissed off Star Wars nerds on your doorstep fast if you fucked with Solo.
I'm actually kind of excited for both films. I like knowing the backstory of characters. Especially Han, how did he get in the mess he was in with Jabba? I love that stuff.
