    Sorry, but no Harrison Ford = not Han Solo.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It's Young Han Solo.

    Like the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. That was a great show even without Harrison Ford.

    Not THAT young. Supposedly 10ish years before A New Hope. Not long enough to justify a dude that doesn't look anything like Harrison Ford.

    Ah okay. I thought it was like 20 years prior, when he was just a punk kid.

    Dude looks nothing like him, why didn't they get the guy that played the young him in that Age of Adaline movie? The movie might not be quite as big a shit show as I thought though judging by the trailer.

    I have a feeling this will be like Smokey and the Bandit in space.

    I don't think a franchise built on selling toys since 1977 can really sell out, can it?

    The toys were actually a device for Lucas to make some money. He thought the movie would barely even cover costs. People forget that THX was a huge financial disaster. And he made almost no money from American Graffiti because of it. Even after the success of Star Wars they still wouldn't give Lucas the money he wanted for Empire.

    .... So no, the stand alones are all about how much money Disney can milk from this franchise. And I will jump up and down and shout that as much as I please. I got no problems with the films that follow the original story though. The last two Trilogy films have been really good.

    Disney is 3-for-3 so far making good Star Wars movies; Lucas ended up 1-for-4, and his surrogates were 2-for-2. Disney is a long-haul franchise curator; what's good for the viewer is good for the bloodless corporate sociopaths!

    Nope. It isn't. There is a ton of shit out there right now. We need more Lady Birds and Moonlights and less "choose-your-own" Marvel Comic adventure.
