    Yeah, that's some enticing synopsis. I think I'll pass.

    This film has no reason to exist other than $$$ and will be nothing but scene after scene of fan service ("Look, Han meeting Lando! Han meeting Chewie! Here's the Kessel Run!").

    Well to be honest, with a series as beloved as Star Wars, any films that will cover well known character back stories are going to be a lot of fan service. At least the first of them will be. If they make a second Han solo film then it might be a bit less of it.

    It exists to entertain.

    "Try to contain your excitement as we see Han introduced to Boba Fett for the first time, as well as Boba's right hand droid, IG-88."

    I see a tie-in with this movie and this paper cup company:

    Just imagine the giant list of things they are going to shoehorn into this movie:
    • (First meeting with) Chewie
    • (First meeting with) Lando
    • Winning the Falcon from Lando
    • Greedo
    • Jabba
    • Boba Fett
    • Kessell Run
    • Obi-Wan and/or Darth Vader (have to have an excuse for at least one lightsaber)

    The potential IG-88 presence is the only thing that could draw me to the theater for this film.

    I'm kind of bummed this is Lawrence Kasdan's swan song for Star Wars. He should've written (or co-written) all of the scripts for the new trilogy.

    Whenever I read anything negative posted about the Disney Star Wars films I think of sand and how it gets everywhere and am thankful they now own the property.

    Or, maybe there are both pros and cons to Disney owning Star Wars. I can think of plenty of both.

    Bingo. I loved TFA and enjoyed TLJ as well. Rogue One was completely mediocre and forgettable, though.

    Pros if you like the new movies: There are more Star Wars movies.

    Cons if you don’t like the new movies: There are more Star Wars movies.

    Also interesting how opinions work. I thought TFA was a complete waste of time but that Rogue One breathed some fresh air into the series. Haven't seen TLJ yet.

    Pretty much the only thing I can guarantee will be in the movie...
    ...will be the backstory for those dice.

    He should also not have written and directed Dreamcatcher.

    I wonder if John Williams will be scoring this movie?

    He is not, but he wrote a "Han Solo theme" for them.

    I think he's only doing a character theme for Han and the rest is someone else.
