It's official: www.starwars.com/news/christopher-miller-and-phil-lord-to-helm-han-solo-anthology-film?linkId=15374280I'm not totally sure how to feel about this... but for the most part I think it's unnecessary. They could have explored so many different things, but instead they just went with an unneeded background story of one of the main characters in the whole saga. Not only do we not need to see a young Han Solo (it's what he does after A New Hope that matters, not before), but I also think we don't need to see more of this era. Rebels and Rogue One are already covering the time between ROTS and ANH. This second Anthology film should have done something different. Plus, you have the major problem of casting a young Han. Han's what, 30 during ANH? So if this is only like 10 years earlier, then you can't have the actor look too different from Harrison Ford. Someone else playing Han Solo feels really wrong though. I'm fine with recasting Indiana Jones, but recasting Han Solo is a mistake. Chris Miller and Phil Lord directing it is really promising though. |

Ugh. Completely ignoring both the Clone Wars Era, and the Old Republic Era. They could've done so well with let's say a Darth Plageius anthology film? or how about a Revan, Malek, Nihilius, or TOR era film. I'm so tired of all this Empire Era. It's overly draining the storytelling. I can think of far better things to watch then a recasted Han Solo film that really doesn't have to be seen.

If rumors are true, the only anthology film I would see is the Boba Fett one. At least that is more interesting than Han Solo who's story has all ready been told. And Rogue One is an unneeded film. I want to see something new and fresh. Not a fan fic film.

I want to see something new and fresh. Not a fan fic film. I actually think we'll see Boba Fett in this. It makes perfect sense, plus it seems like him and Han did have at least a bit of a history together. This really does just feel unnecessary though. But I disagree with you about Rogue One, that sounds like a fresh story that will stand on its own (probably because it's going to focus on new characters). |

Yeah, they are playing it too safe and mostly just trying to appeal to fans through nostalgia. It's getting to be a little much when just about all media (the entire sequel trilogy, Rebels, Battlefront, both Anthology films) is more OT based. It'd be nice to get at least something from the PT or prior to that. The third Anthology film was rumored to possibly be Yoda though so maybe we could get something like 50 or 60 years before The Phantom Menace. That period of time really needs exploring. |

Yeah Yoda I would be interesting to see since it's a historic character that's in all 6 movies and TCW. I don't even mind a film that's not Clone Wars Centric. Order 66 film? That would be far more interesting as well and it connects both the OT with PT. I'm just tired of seeing Stormtroopers and Darth Vader everywhere in stores. There are far more interesting characters out there and greater stories than JUST the OT. I may seem like I'm hating on OT way too much, but come on. You have to admit Darth Vader (And the OT)is overrated and not as well developed (Unless you watched TCW); Without TCW Anakin/Vader is an undeveloped character. |

They're not really ignoring the prequel trilogy and clone wars just had its 15 year run from 1999-2014. I don't see the problem with releasing some things that tie in the OT more there was hardly any of that in the years above. Though I think Han Solo is sort of unneeded I wouldn't have minded pure Boba Fett or even Yoda. But like Tater said Boba will probably be in this. |

Then where is PT characters or settings in the games? Why only OT comics and books? During PT run they produced OT comics and books. But now suddenly it's not allowed to public anything past OT with the exception of Dark Disciple which is only an apology to TCW fans. |

There's only one game right now and that's Battlefront and they have limited time to make it, maybe in an expansion pack they will have prequel planets but like I been discussing with Chex on the NR the prequel planets don't seem to offer what they want in bigger environments and vehicle combat except Geonosis. Also it isn't exactly needed for the game to be good. |

Had the Prequel Trilogy came out before Original Trilogy - Would the prequel trilogy be hated as much?
Once people start taking off their Nostalgia Glasses and view the Original Trilogy without the nostalgia and as a critic you realize how overrated it really is. PT doesn't deserve the hate cause OT did the same thing as OT did.

Not that I had any doubt already, but this should basically confirm that Han's dying in The Force Awakens.  |

It's just the reality of the direction it's now going in, Prequel trilogy had its time in the spotlight but that's over I know many here favour it because that's what you grew up with but that time is past.
During the first years of the prequel trilogy there really wasn't much OT content at all and now the same thing is going to happen with the Sequels but the originals unlike the prequels directly tie into that. Prequels are connected heavily to the originals and the sequels I'd assume will be quite connected to the originals but not the prequels

OK, seeing Lord and Miller directing it makes me pretty hopeful, but the very idea of it being simply a Han origin story sums up my biggest problem with Disney's treatment of Star Wars: playing it safe and this really takes the cake. They had a chance for something off the wall and different, but instead they're wasting efforts on a pointless origin movie. Ah well, at least Rogue One seems like it's trying something new.

The Directors already give me a lot of hope. I think this movie can turn out pretty good.
I'm willing to step on board with it and wait and see where it goes.

Well... I like Han Yeah but it won't be the same without Harrison. At least Chewbacca and Boba will probably be in it, well Chewie for sure. Maybe Lando but he would have to be recast as well I guess. I hope they keep Hans apparent wife out of it though the black girl in the comics |

Recasting Solo? I don't like that. Same with Lando if he were to appear. But yeah, this makes me believe Han is likely to die in Ep. 7 as well. I'm still remaining positive about this, it should be pretty cool I guess, especially if it shows a fair amount of the criminal side of the galaxy. I just don't like the recasting aspect or how conservative Disney is being at the moment.

Umm every major clone wars character was explored more then Han in the now "canon" content so you literally just gave reason why Han is a better choice then almost every prequel or clone wars character. |

But a Han origin story is sort of unneeded, now maybe a plot line about Han where he is the main character in a spinoff mission similar to Rouge one that could work.
Tbh I wouldn't have minded a Boba Fett story from when he was maybe a teen and set during the empire era. I also wouldn't have a problem if they overwritten some of it and made it so he wasn't a clone, still a son of Jango but a biological one or overwrite some of his minor clone wars plot lines. There's probably a reason why they won't released the bounty hunter arc.

Harrison Ford wants nothing at all to do with the movie as well but still Pratt is a good replacement for his Indy and Han roles IMO

it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
