"The Han Solo Star Wars Film Is Being Described As..." Topic

… A "Heist" And "Western".

"While some might be annoyed that the stand-alone Han Solo Star Wars film will also be a heist like ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story‘ it almost seems that to not go that route would be a disservice to putting a young rogue on the big screen to begin with. We know that as a smuggler Solo will have a shady past and as we all wanted Nathan Fillion to take over the role before he got old, it would only make sense that a nearly ‘Firefly' vibe would fit here.

Let's be honest, that's why we thought Fillion would make a good Solo to begin with.

I like Filion, but if the Han Solo story takes place (chronologically) before Star Wars Ep. IV, as you'd expect, then Filion is ten years older now than Harrison Ford was when he made Ep. IV. Playing the 'young' Han Solo is going to be a stretch.

They already hinted at cameo appearances by his parents Napoleon and Hope.

I think Chris Pratt would do well in that role.

The movie has already been cast. Young Han Solo is to be played by Alden Ehrenreich (from Hail Caesar!)

A pity Solo didn't get to do a prequel back in the day, when he was just in his prime, and shortly after Episode IV.

I recall reading a lot of novels about his adventures.
