I think your idea of a movie beginning with him winning the Falcon is a good one (as usual... guys like us ought to be running this whole thing!), but I've got no interest at all in Han as a little kid or even a teenager. I don't want to learn he was an abused kid, or a little street urchin or whatever.

My "view" of Han S...I agree to an extent. My "view" of Han Solo is also fairly calcified (or encased in carbonite!), but I'm willing to budge a bit, I suppose. But I don't want all the t's crossed, either, as I noted in the post. I'd really like the story to start with Han already being a pirate, as opposed to going back to showing us Han's childhood on Corellia and "Han being bitten by the spider", if you take my meaning. I like the idea of seeing some of the cool shit Han was doing before he met Luke and company, but not every bit of it.Kelly Sedingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704114189919711467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-18080313180008672015-07-08T23:33:03.068-04:002015-07-08T23:33:03.068-04:00I don't know...

I fear that Disney/Lucasfilm is going to make the mistake of crossing every T and dotting every I. We really DON'T need everyone's origin stories, or to have every little gap filled in. Han Solo, especially, is the character I have very well developed in my mind and don't want messed with. I was really glad when the rumors of Young Han in Episode II or III (whichever it was) didn't pan out...Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11001416935247782462noreply@blogger.com
