lol so true.

Fett will be all video game amazing, but like Vader, fail. Han Solo will still get away.

No, it's a standalone, so they can all die at the end.

Oh, wait...

Unbelievable that we're four months away from a new SW film without a single trailer.

I can’t wait to see Han being lectured by a Corellian female general and Jabba killing his boss mid speech by rolling ontop of him.

Drinking game, take a shot every time Han says "i have a bad feeling about this" and then die of alcohol poisoning.

Pushing it back is being considered apparently, but no final decision for now.

Yeah, it's going to be Toxic Masculinity all over the place. Han will constantly make poor decisions because he can't come to terms with his feelings, and accept hugs from people. Boba will be too self-sufficient as a bounty hunter. Lando will fail to acknowledge the wisdom of female authority figures, who demand unquestioned obedience without ever explaining the context or purpose of their demands. Chewbacca will hump anything that moves, objectifying people without the slightest concern for who they are on the inside. Hopefully we'll have at least a few non-white female non-binary protagonists who, in a non-chauvinistic way, can explain to all of the men how their inability to empathize prevents them from seeing the right way to do things.

I had a good laugh at this, but the unfortunate truth is that most of it doesn't seen too far from reality....

Yep, this is the beginning of Disney's "innocent crossovers", that way by the time Disney ramps up to the 2022 release of GotG/Star Wars Saves the Universe crossover extravaganza, it seems natural.

All True...

[FONT=&quot]For starters, Bale says he hasn't seen the new DC stuff:

[/FONT]

“I have not (seen Affleck's Batman yet). Yes, I’m interested (in seeing it), my son seemed like he was really interested, but then I realized he just wanted to see the trailer and that was it – I tend to go see films that (my kids) want to see. I have to confess I’m not a huge superhero film fan. People seem surprised at that, I don’t know why. I’ve not seen any of the Avengers films or any of those films at all. I hear they’re very good, but I’m quite happy just hearing they’re very good.”


​

[FONT=&quot]Look, I enjoy checking out new Marvel tentpoles as much as the next guy, but "I’m quite happy just hearing they’re very good" is a level of casual dismissiveness I think we should all aspire to in 2018. Bale is a master at delivering this kind of unimpressed shade.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]As for his near involvement in Solo: A Star Wars Story, Bale says:

[/FONT]

“Yes, (it was) very tempting. I not only love the films going back to my childhood but also have a very long relationship with Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall because they did Empire of the Sun many years back. There was discussion, (and) I hope there will be future discussions.”


​

[FONT=&quot]What part might Bale have played? Dark Horizons theorizes that Bale would've been playing the "mentor" role that was ultimately filled by Woody Harrelson, and that sounds like as good a guess as any to our ears.[/FONT]

I remember really wanting Bale to play Anakin in AOTC after American Psycho but now that he's just so over-exposed it's hard to get excited about the idea of him appearing in SW going forward.

No kidding.

I definitely could have bought him as the pissed off badass underneath the suit.

Sorry, but no one could have made Anakin a better character with the dialog George was writing. Who knows what chemistry Bale and Portman would have had.

True. But nevertheless Batman Begins kind of gave us a small taste of how sweet a Bale Anakin/Qui Gon sparring session might have gone in an alternate universe where George made good prequels that never featured Anakin as a child.

I don't care for Bale.... but he's lightyears ahead of that terrible "actor" Hayden. Hayden's barely worked since. That says it all.

Crazy how both Anakin's had their careers ruined by the PT. Jake Lloyd far more than Hayden though.

Hayden was at the last Celebration and people clapped like crazy, you could tell it had been 'long enough'.
After all, hate the PT or not, but he is Anakin and the beginning of Vader, that's just how it is in canon now, forever

They thought about bringing him back as a Force ghost btw.
