I liked the shot of the Star Destroyer in the nebula.

Not sure why I'd want to see this movie though.

[RangerKarl]

I expect I'll get a ticket from my sister for this flick. I am curious as to how awkward everything is.

[mjn.mixael]

I know this movie has a negative rumor mill going... and perhaps it really will be terrible. I certainly never wanted this movie.

But it just reminds me how much the new Star Wars movies just haven't grabbed me. They all feel like fan-pandering until Rian Johnson made his movie and denied me the one thing I really wanted to see. (Jedi Master Luke Skywalker being a badass Jedi and not just projecting his mind off somewhere just so we can get a double sunset death scene).

I hated the prequels... except that they showed us new parts of the galaxy. Disney has a whole galaxy to play with and we keep ending up with the same damn characters, species, and desert planets. Personally, I would have much preferred if the Rebellion had actually won and the new conflict/story was not about Empire Redux vs Rebellion Redux. But instead we get an OT rehash (kinda) and spinoffs about OT events and OT characters like Han Solo.

[Snarks]

Is it just me or does the name "Solo" just sounds dumb by itself? Like "Han Solo" sounds decent but "Solo" just feels off.

[mjn.mixael]

All I hear is Jabba the Hut from that extended scene in New Hope.

Solo! Du noppa noya, Solo!

Solo! A sah wen booogeee! (Solo: A star wars story)

Trailer looks pretty cool.  I'm optimistic about the SW movies after Rogue One and Last Jedi.  TFA was hot trash but glad to see they're moving away from that.

Rian Johnson is getting his own trilogy that's in a new part of the galaxy and separate from the main story so, there you go.
Not sure what you mean by "being a badass jedi" either, seems a contradiction in terms.

Well it was "Lincoln" not "Abraham Lincoln", "Patton" not "George S. Patton", "Churchill" not "Winston Churchill" . . . I think it's common for bio-pics, even fictional sci-fi ones to have only one or the other name. 

[zookeeper]

Well, I think the teaser made it seem awful, like a fanfilm with a big budget.

In Italian "Solo" is literally the word "alone" and "Han Solo" sounds like "they have only" (in the OT dub they changed his name to "Ian" because of it) so here it would be slightly weird regardless, at least together with the subtitle it doesn't sound like it's a half-translated sentence with a column in the middle (at least not as blatantly).

[Trivial Psychic]

...(in the OT dub they changed his name to "Ian" because of it)...

Seen "LEGO Star Wars:  The Padawan Menace"?

Nope, why?

[Trivial Psychic]

Set during Clone Wars era, an orphan ends up slipping in with a group of youngling jedi creating a nametag that says Ian, but at the end of it all he reveals that he stuck the "I" sideways, and that it's actually and "H", and he identifies himself as Han Solo.

Ah, though I have to be more precise about something:
"Ian" is how would be phonetically pronounced, officially it was spelled "Jan" because in Italian the "J" is an old signifier of a certain way of pronouncing "I", still present in some Italian names like "Jacopo".
Funny thing is that because of it Jan Ors in the Italin dubbing of Dark Forces (CTO was on a localization binge at the time, most PC games at the time were untranslated or subs only) was pronounced "Ian" because of this and the fact that the people that did the localization and dubbing didn't know much about Star Wars to the point that instead of using the official Italian name "Fener" they used "Vader" pronounced according to Italian spelling rules which was quite hilarious in hindsight.

So let's see if I've got this....slightly younger Han Solo is part of a group smuggling mind-altering substances or some other such illegal goods through a region controlled by imperious forces of law and order.  There's a cargo vehicle of some kind, some other people who'll help out in various ways throughout the arduous journey, a love interest, a non-human sidekick who rides shotgun, and there probably has to be an antagonist character who will be the nemesis to our "hero" throughout the entire story.  And somehow somebody will throw in some occasional comic-relief antics and/or dialogue.  OH! and an integral part of the origin is somehow making a harrowing smuggling trip--in an unexpectedly short amount of time.

I just don't want to hear the song Eastbound and Down...except in a trailer remix.  That's a perfectly acceptable level of humor for me.

I always thought he was an officer fully fledged until he broke chewie out of a brig during the construction of the first death star.

This looks like GoTG.

The death star bit doesn't make sense since he didn't know there were structures that big in ANH.
