SOLO Movie Teaser Discussion
Figured we could get some good speculation going.
My first take was that it didn't really look like star wars to me, idk what it is, but it could if been any futuristic sci-fi movie. Obviously we see a few trademark SW things full and clear. But for a person that's never watched a whole star wars movie, I could see them not being sure. Has a very Rogue1 feel to it. Not sure what to think yet tbh.
Go find it on YouTube, but try watching it all the way through on MUTE one time. You will see what I mean. I always watch trailers on MUTE first time through to see if the actual movie captures me and not the killer soundtrack and sound effects they picked to engage you. Of course music plays a big part in the movie, but for a trailer it's just how I judge.
Thoughts?
(Also someone please agree with me that Gambino totally looks like a young saw Guerrera in his scene.)

His story is much more one of the internal conflict of wanting to achieve greatness and realizing the system is built around lies. After all, he's the original "DJ" but his character arc led him to joining the empire military, to smuggler / DJ, to rebellion hero. I'm super intrigued to see how they portray his origin.
At this point its hard to tell whether my apathy towards new sw teasers is because of the quality of the teaser, or due to the over saturation of sw media in the last 3 years.
Apparently they fired the original directors because they were putting too much humor in it, among other reasons. I haven't been following it too closely though because it's just so hard to care

What actor? It's Emilia Clarke - plays Daenerys in GoT
IMDB says she'll be playing Kira
already out this AM
Oh. She looks so different with dark hair.
The CGI (for me) worked really well for Tarkin and Leia in Rogue 1, but their scenes were quite minor - a main role as CGI young Han, may look a bitt poo for a whole entire movie.
But this Han doesn't seem right at all.
This guy looks more promising for sure, but would need to brush up on his lines and delivery:
Why we got the actor we got is beyond me.
Kathleen Kennedy
There’s more to being an actor than just doing an impression
Are you sure?

Of course you asked that lol.
I hope that Solo can be as good as Rogue One, but I doubt it would. Let’s hope Disney doesn’t screw this up...
This is a statement i can fully agree on. Just watching the trailer and making myself think "star wars". I get a certain rogue one vibe from it. Maybe it's the lack of Jedi and sith, but this looks like it could be a rogue two.
I also liked r1 (I assume you did too) however idk if I can do anymore movies that are like it. You know rebels, empire before anh. I just want to see something new. I'm tired of getting things that feed off of the OT story. We have now in recent years..
- Rogue 1
- star wars rebels
- han solo
- Maybe even an obi-wan movie.
Or maybe it's just that I don't care at all about Hans backstory. Why does he even need a backstory. I liked him just fine when all we know of his past is that he was just this cool smuggler guy with a wookie partner, chilling in the cantina.
Its the lack of color, personality, original dialogue, charisma, and fun.
At least the first Rogue One teaser had the decency to seem like a completely different movie than it ended up being (the teaser was for a spy thriller and the movie was plain action)
In fact, the movie is so ugly looking, there are “mud troopers” (cast members on imdb are credited as such)
Haha. I agree on most points, however I enjoyed the stray away from the usual star wars movies we were used to seeing up until that point. Especially when TFA came out with the borrowed plot setup from the OT.
I liked the raw and gritty feeling the movie gave off. It was good at giving the impression that the conflict is taking it's toll on everyone. However I liked that once. I don't want it again.
I.just.don't. Care. About a whole Han Solo movie. Especially a young, less experienced, less cool Han Solo.
- Prepare to see alot of him running through blaster fire barely making it (haha this is a comedic scene haha)
- The falcon will first show up on the screen in some epic way, to make fans excited to see it again. (Even tho it's been in 2/3 star wars movies so far.)
- Lando will look like a young saw guerrara (he does, just look)
- And lots more of firing blasters back and forth, flying the falcon, and seeing han communicate with chewbacca. (How does he know?)
I’m glad Rogue One tried to do something different, but for me, instead of being “grounded and gritty”, the tone came off as bland and uninteresting as the characters and dialogue. If all of the characters had the amount of personality the robot did, I probably could have looked over the depressing aesthetic.
In the case of Solo, we have well established characters and Kasdan writing, so I’m hoping the characters will have some personality, but that teaser is soooooooo bland in presentation and tone, i can’t help but worry. And the dialogue used was so generic, I was waiting for someone to say, “The world’s changing.”
And I would of been fine without ever knowing any of this. I really think this movie is going to downplay his character for me. When I think of who han was before he joining the rebellion, I think of the first time we see him. Shooting greedo. That scene pretty much explained his backstory within a 2 minute scene. Makes you assume he is just a badA with an attitude. Who also happens to be an ace pilot.
Now we are gonna have some new actor guy portraying a younger version of the character we already know. I guarantee you everyone will find atleast 1 thing about the new han that they didn't like. You can't re-cast han man. It's just a dumb idea
I make no secrets of my interests. Movies need girls to be entertaining, that's just science.
If Emelia Clarke's character ends up being some sort of love interest this does not bode well as she isn't the modt expressive actor going around.
At this point Lando is the main point of interest for me. The rest I was a little underwhelmed with.
