Think how jarring it would be to have Harrison and Carrie as Han and Leia in the OT. Then skip forward a couple of years and they are suddenly played be other people, who probably won't look anything like them, and then skip ahead to the sequel trilogy and hey look, they are played by Harrison and Carrie again. Wtf?? That just isn't going to flow very well.<br /><br />I think an animated series is extremely likely, but live action? Not with these characters, no. claire1976https://www.blogger.com/profile/04285049568087268653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-57942362205656003132016-05-08T03:17:12.527-05:002016-05-08T03:17:12.527-05:00Actually, one person on Twitter did ask Pablo if t...Actually, one person on Twitter did ask Pablo if they planned on doing something like this (a TV show or movie) on Luke, Han and Leia with different actors for the time period between ROTJ and TFA and he said "I wouldn't rule it out" so it's not out of the realm of possibility. I would prefer animated like the Clone Wars but I don't know if I'd totally hate it if it was well done. Maybe Billie Lourd as a young Leia?

I really hope that's the case. <br /><br />It would honestly kill me to not have 1980s Harrison Ford forever represented as the "face" of Han Solo. I can live with new diminutive Han being in a standalone movie, but I might start a riot if they ever locked away the sexy luggage in favor of promoting a smaller, more groomed imposter. I mean, Harrison Ford is old enough to be my dad, but sexy like that lasts a lifetime! The only reason Han is so hot in the OT is because of Harrison Ford. Can you imagine what would have happened if any other actor played his character? I really doubt that kind of magic can be replicated.

Just before Disney bought Lucasfilm, there was an animated series called Detours that was set to premiere. We even saw previews of it, and it looked fun and hilarious. And then Lucasfilm got sold, and Disney shelved it. There are dozens of episodes that are finished, just sitting there, and they can't show them to us. I think I'd prefer to give episode 7 back and take that instead.Zyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04860113813294303312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-71139104076302649132016-05-07T19:58:48.773-05:002016-05-07T19:58:48.773-05:00Nope. no interest.

And I think there's already too much Star Wars; LFL couldn't even manage to get the first film out of the gate right with regard to the Big Three so I can't imagine they'd do something like this well, even if they cloned 1990-ish Ford and Fisher for this series. One film every 3 years was just about right, and the magic of Star Wars is in the process of being ground up into just too much product.Kelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03289869686941780934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-89508192438316358082016-05-07T19:45:21.991-05:002016-05-07T19:45:21.991-05:00I wonder if eventually they'll do a spin off T...I wonder if eventually they'll do a spin off TV series or series of movies about the Big Three between ROTJ and TFA with the new Han Solo and an actress recast as Princess Leia?

He then takes a look at himself in the mirror and says, "Jeez, if I'm ever going to hang with that crew, I need to be taller, better-looking, and way more manly. I'd better get to work on that. I'm tired of being nondescript Non Solo. I don't want to be Samsonite luggage. I want to be Luis Vuitton."<br /><br />Next time anyone sees him is in ANH. The gym, the rack he bought to stretch himself, the plastic surgery all worked. The sexy luggage has arrived.

That would piss me off immensely. The original luggage set is just too sexy. I'm not ready to replace it."<br /><br />One reason I wouldn't expect much of this unless the film is a huge hit: there's no way a Hollywood agent these days is going to let this happen without a huuuuuuge deal for his likeness rights in merch. It won't be worth it to Disney to splatter his likeness everywhere for long unless the film is a big hit, as I'd be willing to bet his likeness rights on merch will be way more expensive to Disney than the likeness rights deals on the actors from the OT.Kelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03289869686941780934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-30994126221577212612016-05-07T19:22:43.933-05:002016-05-07T19:22:43.933-05:00giggles at LoveThis! and "diminutive Han.&quo...giggles at LoveThis! and "diminutive Han."

Again, it may be true anyway but still. <br /><br />This is what bugs me, someone somewhere says something and makes themselves sound like they know stuff (young Han Solo will be in Rogue One!) and then suddenly everyone is talking about it like it's true.

I'd prefer if he weren't in there though, as I always saw Han was being uninvolved with the Rebellion until he metes Leia and Luke. That's another reason why the HST bugged me that he was in a serious relationship with the Rebellion leader. I always thought ANH made it seem like he was not into being tied down or committed to anything including any cause.Ewokkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890491490654088747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-71366153067521419472016-05-07T17:44:20.868-05:002016-05-07T17:44:20.868-05:00Without even reading articles, let's think abo...Without even reading articles, let's think about this logically.

The easiest way to deal with trolls is simply not to engage in an argument with them. Their goal is to piss you off and get you going. If someone shows up and starts talking about how young Han was soooo in love with whatever girlfriend they give him in the new movie, and Leia does not compare, well, whatever. Are they going to be wrong? Of course they are. But are they worth my time and effort trying to convince them of their wrongness? Nope, definitely not. I guess at this point in my life I don't care that much if someone is spouting off about Han being a terrible father and blaming him for Ben, or saying Han and Leia's marriage was terrible and blah, blah, whatever. First of all, I am not buying into this new universe. Second of all, I know I'm right and they're wrong. And I do not feel the need to present my argument to them and convince them because convincing them doesn't make me any more right, and there is a strong chance they don't even really believe what they are saying, they're just spouting things off to rile us up. It's quite freeing when you don't care to convince other people to share your point of view. <br /><br />I'm really not that concerned about people coming over here just to start a fight and tell us we're wrong. I have no idea if we can block people on the blog, it has never been an issue. We did disable anonymous commenting though. IF for some reason in the future someone does decide to come here and "argue" with us, I would simply say do not engage. People get bored quick when nobody is responding to them.Zyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04860113813294303312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-18216082540058038702016-05-07T15:39:56.759-05:002016-05-07T15:39:56.759-05:00I do have to agree that THIS would be the worst th...I do have to agree that THIS would be the worst thing about it, if suddenly we are looking at this dude's face instead of Harrison's.
