    Time to ruin the mystery behind a classic character with unnecessary backstory?

    I mean the trailers fine, but I don't really need to see the lesser adventures of young Solo, couldn't they just have a new character with a Solo cameo?

    Thought that as long it isn't Rian Johnson directing no explanation is required.

    I don't wish to prejudge the movie but I thought the trailer was pretty underwhelming. Combined with all the dramas surrounding the making of the movie I won't be in a rush to see it.

    On other news game of thrones people are asked to do a new Star Wars trilogy.
    This is how Disney has taken feedback about Rian's take and not sure they be doing his trilogy.

    I don't think is bad but yeah after the last Jedi, kinda lost for a good Star Wars movie especially this was budgeted.

    Literally no where has this been suggested.

    “These new films will be separate from both the episodic Skywalker saga and the recently-announced trilogy being developed by Rian Johnson, writer-director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.

    Face it, disney will milk this cash cow until it is dry and people get tired of "yet another" Star Wars movie. And then they'll milk it some more.
    They spent a lot of money buying the franchise, and even though will make back many times more, it will have a big permanent place in their themeparks, all without paying anyone for licensing anymore.

    I think it will be a bit like Star Trek movies... the novelty will wear off eventually, after 10 or 12 movies.... and then we will see a reboot, which won't appeal to anyone older than 20, who had grown up on the original Star Wars movies and prequels.

    I think I know where you are coming from. Han's younger & lesser adventures may somehow detract from his persona &/or ruin the mystery. I disagree. I'm looking forward to looking backward in time to see the events that helped shape the man he is today, not just from trilogy series. 'Lesser' adventures does not necessarily equate to unworthy or unnecessary backstory IMO.


    Although different, it reminds me when distinguished music artist 'come out of retirement' to pursue their love of their career. Some fans will always reject the revival. Please don't go ruining the legacy you left us with, blah, blah, blah. We want to remember you as you were then, blah, blah, blah.
