Old Han, young Han.... I really feel no need to have anything but the genuine 1977 pairing.
Figure wise the Old Han is still one of the best one’s I own, but understand this mentality.
How many Solo fans will buy this and chuck the Alden sculpt...
Then replace the head with a Ford sculpt? Let's see what those HT Han heads go for now.
I could see myself picking up this figure only to put a Ford sculpt on it. I dig the deluxe look, kind of crazy and unique looking, but it’s a lot to pay for an EU Ford Solo figure.
You know, I've always tossed around that Ingruber got to pick somewhere behind the scenes whether he wanted to be Indy or Han - and he picked Indy, hence why we got Alden instead. But all of that is of course deep under wraps and such.
He’s got the look, too bad he probably just can’t act.

They'll keep making them because they make money. There is no lightning in Rogue One except that somehow it was generally well received by fans, but fans are not where the big money is.
And I liked Solo way more than R1.

Not sure I follow the thinking here about the lightning in a bottle — pretty sure Rogue One did really well, was popular among fans, and this movie is not going to based on the opening weekend numbers, audience scores, and level of interest. I had empty seats next to me at the theatre at a 9:30 showing in a small theatre.
This had a bit of the gritty look that Rogue One had, but that movie is more a Star Wars movie in the classical sense, as were the sequels — you see the bad guys from their perspective, good guys from theirs, has a larger scale conflict.
This didn’t feel quite like Star Wars movies we’ve come to know in that way, but more like a SW television show in comparison, which is fine as it was focused on a single character mostly but it did make it feel small. Reminds of the difference between a single member of the Avengers’s movie vs an actual Avengers movie.
I enjoyed the movie enough but I didn’t really feel that this Solo was the same as Ford’s in any way. Glover was a bit more convincing as Lando but that character is less nuanced in general. The main issue is that this movie was clearly not written to be a stand alone movie. I find that problematic as I’m not sure they’ll feel there’s enough interest to do one. Don’t know that it needs a trilogy but it could certainly use one sequel to move the character forward. Don’t feel anything that happened in this movie changed him.
