Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)
We should take impromptu pre release poll....
I am very very curious...
Who thinks this film will suck? (Those willing to admit it before even seeing it)?

I think it COULD be REALLY good but it has the following hurdles to jump:
The actor playing Han has to REALLY be good and win us over. Obviously this is the key to the whole thing.
DO NOT over do the fan service. They are already promising to show a bunch of big moments in Han’s life that I would actually rather not see. I absolutely hate when they take all the mystery out of the characters and make comics/books/movies about Star Wars moments that were better left to the fan’s imagination. Those little mystery bits are what makes it special and fun. They made an entire comic book of how 3PO got his red arm. UGH.
SPOILERS** I think they are showing how he gets the Falcon, meeting Chewie, meeting Lando, the Kessel Run, etc. They’ll probably have him first meeting Greedo, Jabba, Boba Fett, getting his red blood stripe, getting his blaster, getting his chin scar, making mods, etc etc etc. DON’T TELL US EVERYTHING.
They did a good job in Last Crusade where they had an adventure with young Indy, adding to the character, and then little VERY FAST bits with him first using the whip, getting the scar, and finally the hat. That was really well done, but wasn’t the big focus of the story and it made sense.
