So the full trailer dropped today and you know what…my thoughts/feelings stand as there were in the video.
My biggest obstacle in this movie is NOT thinking of Harrison Ford. That will take some getting used to but as a Bond fan – I’ve had to make some adjustments.
Let’s go #SOLO!
See, I don’t think the Bond comparison is apt. Why? I’m glad you asked…
Because this film is supposed to lead up to A New Hope. Even if only loosely, it’s supposed to be the same Han Solo.
In the Bond-verse, it’s never been that Roger Moore’s 007 is meant to lead into Sean Connery’s Bond in Dr. No. Just as Daniel Craig’s James is not the prequel of Timothy Dalton’s.
The point is, every time they recast Bond, it’s essentially a reboot of some kind. Solo: A Star Wars Story is NOT a reboot. It’s a prequel to an established Han Solo, therefore, if Ehrenreich is very different from Ford…sigh. Just…sigh.
I get that…but there’s one little movie that does serve as a “prequel” if you will and that is Casino Royale. It essentially sets up why Bond is the way he is – his connection to Felix, to M, to Q and so on. What if THAT’S what we’re going to get with #Solo? So I’ll just…umm…leave that there for you to swallow. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7effb5b1decc82c75965c5fd503970bd9696337f453987d5a8db6040d46686fa.gif
Nuh uh.
Casino Royale was the first HARD reboot of the series. New cast. Modern setting. Everything reworked and rewired.
Just cause CRAIG was playing a young Bond doesn’t mean he’s playing a young Connery.
Drop the Mic! Lol
It was a reboot I agree with you there…but Bond is Bond and it WAS Daniel’s take on Bond. So Alden Ehrenreich is playing a young Han Solo not Harrison Ford
You’re right. But the point is…that’s wrong! lol

He should NOT be making it “his own”! He’s playing the same Han!!! It only makes sense to make it your own if you’re starting off a whole new take on the character and rebooting it. If what you’re doing is supposed to exist in the same canon and continuity…then you have to strive to keep it like what’s come before!
CARAJO!
I agree 100% but he kinda HAS to make it his own…otherwise it’ll be an impression of Harrison Ford. He has to own it and it ultimately has to lead into the character that we meet in A New Hope but he has to have an arc and that arc might start with him being someone completely different than we expect.
Also – stop cursing!
I hope it delivers for those of you wanting to see this. As for me? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d13281508fc1382b8a65cc3b6e0ba5a803f539ad83c15b18661954550f61578b.gif
Not a huge Star Wars fan myself, but I understand many of the poimts that worry you about Solo. The Infinity War bit is a BIG DEAL. Lucasfilm might be shooting themselves on the foot with that one, but I digress. Great video, Aaron. Thanks for sharing.
