Darth Ender Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Alden signed for three movie? I know this doesn't necessarily mean a trilogy, but c'mon. Is there really an interest in a series of movies with some degree of focus on Solo? I have limited, at best, interest in the Solo film. Even if these roles are minimal, is the interest in this time period really that high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerimar Nyliram Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Only if they're based on A. C. Crispin's Han Solo trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainbleh Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 If it's appearances as Solo in other anthology movies, then I'd be fine with that. Trilogy focused on him? Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 If Solo is good, why not? Everyone has long since decided it'll be terrible, but what if it isn't? What if it's really good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavonis Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I suppose Disney/Lucasfilm may have just decided to lock him into 3 films so they wouldn't have to renegotiate if Solo were incredibly popular and a second (or even third) film was produced. Plus, as pointed out, it does give them the option to have Solo appear in other anthology films. I, for one, thought the idea of a Solo film was terrible at first, but I am definitely excited to see it. People can come around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Ender Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 If Solo is good, why not? Everyone has long since decided it'll be terrible, but what if it isn't? What if it's really good?Fair enough. I am not necessarily against the idea. However, only a certain number of Star Wars movies can be realistically made at any given time. I would like to see new stories with different characters. I would prefer to give other characters some love. I know Han could pop up in a Obi Wan movie or whatever, but I hate those nods. Do you think they would really do a bunch of movies with Han, Rian's new trilogy, and separate stand alone Star Wars stories all at the same time?

Darth Sockimus Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 If Solo is good, why not? Everyone has long since decided it'll be terrible, but what if it isn't? What if it's really good?Exactly. I'm not sold on this yet but if it's legitimately good, why not? But outside of Donald Glover's Lando and the chance to see the Kessel Run once, there's very little interest to see this besides it's being a Star Wars film and it's a chance to see a new film in theaters on the 41st anniversary of the first film. I'll leave it to Opie to tie it all together and bring it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 He’s in Solo obviously. He’ll have a role in the Lando they will make for Glover after he steals Solo. Third will be a Fett movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest El Chalupacabra Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 My 2 cents are they probably just signed Alden A. to obligate him to do Solo sequels, if Solo is a hit, like Pav is saying. But if it isn't they will either release him from that obligation, or have Han Solo pop up in other movies, like Tank said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El Chalupacabra Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Only if they're based on A. C. Crispin's Han Solo trilogy.I feel the same way, but I am not sure how well those books would translate to film. Hopefully, the Solo film will incorporate some concepts from them, though. It would be a shame if they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavonis Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Only if they're based on A. C. Crispin's Han Solo trilogy.No. The Brian Daley books. Han Solo's Revenge is way better than any of the Crispin books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest El Chalupacabra Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I bought my copy of Han Solo's Revenge from the gift shop, back when Disneyland opened Star Tours (not the current version...back in the 1980s)! I think I still have it packed away somewhere. I haven't re-read it since the early 1990s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svenn Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 We really need a movie with a Greedo backstory where we see him kill bounties repeatedly, but only after sitting them down for a few minutes to talk to them first about why there is a bounty on their head, and about how lucky he is to have found them first.

No wonder he was so trigger happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a pic of the timelines for film releases with "Fett/Solo" after Ep. IX. Dunno how legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
