Glover will join Alden Ehrenreich — previously cast as Han Solo — in bringing two iconic Star Wars characters back to the big screen, but at a time in their lives previously unexplored. This new film depicts Lando in his formative years as a scoundrel on the rise in the galaxy’s underworld — years before the events involving Han, Leia, and Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back and his rise to Rebel hero in Return of the Jedi.[/quote]

[QUOTE=LeonS;51240966]we dont need more origin movies or any more star wars movies[/QUOTE] yeah we do

i wasn't sure at first but looking at that picture he might be able to pull it off

yes

fuck yes

[QUOTE=Lolkork;51241010]I don't get the hype around star wars.[/QUOTE] well, some people like space movies and they think star wars manages to pull it off really well so they hype it up it's pretty simple really

[t]http://i.imgur.com/zvhcLbk.jpg[/t] He looks the part alright, but I still think that these "young hero" movies are complete & forgettable thrash in any series. Why don't they just film a Boba Fett bounty hunter movie with Bossk, Dengar, IG-88 etc.?

Rumor has it that that one is coming in 2018, after the Solo one.

[QUOTE=Corndog Ninja;51241035]Boba Fett is like the fourth most marketable character in Star Wars, of course they're making a Fett movie[/QUOTE] I know, but I just expected Disney to make one before the franchise fatigue starts kicking in. Oh, and this young Han Solo prequel-thing is planned to be a trilogy the last I heard.

He looks the part but I'm not sure about the acting side. I've watched a few episodes of Atlanta and his acting style in it seems to be "none."

Yeah but does he have a smooth jazzy voice like Lando?

Until I saw the photo, I was confused because Danny Glover isn't all that much younger than Billy Dee Williams so why did they want to make a "young Lando" at all?

I can see it. I'm more worried about who they choose for Young Han Solo.

[QUOTE=DuCT;51241638]I can see it. I'm more worried about who they choose for Young Han Solo.[/QUOTE] Alden Ehrenreich was pretty great in [I]Hail, Caesar![/I], I'm sure he'll do a good job of acting but I don't know if I can buy anyone who's not Harrison Ford as Han Solo.

[QUOTE=Corndog Ninja;51241652]I don't know if I can buy anyone who's not Harrison Ford as Han Solo.[/QUOTE] this is the biggest problem for me i think the only actor who could come close would have been chris pratt, given the combination with phil lord and chris miller. he's just too old for young han solo

[QUOTE=LeonS;51240966]we dont need more origin movies or any more star wars movies[/QUOTE] What we dont need is more needlessly cynical cry babies like you. Lighten up dood, this is Star Wars, not Citizen Kane. [editline]22nd October 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Lolkork;51241010]I don't get the hype around star wars.[/QUOTE] Its got a very important lineage in pretty much all aspects of cinema, not to mention theyre generally good movies and family friendly but still entertaining for adults.

How about we get some movies with new characters though, i'd love to see a force unleashed or an old republic movie

[QUOTE=Source;51241996]How about we get some movies with new characters though, i'd love to see a force unleashed or an old republic movie[/QUOTE] Because name recognition is like 90% of Hollywood nowadays it seems.

[QUOTE=Source;51241996]How about we get some movies with new characters though, i'd love to see a force unleashed or an old republic movie[/QUOTE] People dont want new characters, they want new adventures with the characters they know and love. Part of what makes Star Wars Star Wars is its characters. Plus most people who see Star Wars movies have no idea what KotoR is or who Star Killer is.

[QUOTE=Source;51241996]How about we get some movies with new characters though, i'd love to see a force unleashed[/QUOTE]not canon

as long as he isn't funny meme joke man it's whatever

[QUOTE=MoralSupport;51241644]They already have: [url]http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/alden-ehrenreich-meet-new-han-891423[/url][/QUOTE] I'm not to familiar with Alden. I'll have to check out some of the movies he's been in. EDIT: Stoker and Caeser? I'll give him a shot.
