Star Wars Universe Thread: May The 4th Be With You

All I've seen is "during Olympic coverage", at least on NBC. Hopefully it will be released online soon after that.

Eh I'm hoping for an online drop first. No point airing it on TV first since Olympic coverage isn't live.

I'm pretty confident that it will be shown on TV before dropping online. They are trying to boost those TV ratings (advertising $$$), even though the coverage itself isn't live.

‘Han Solo’ Film Casting Young Lando Calrissian (Exclusive)

Han Solo is getting a gambling buddy — his standalone “Star Wars” spinoff film is casting a young Lando Calrissian.

Fans have speculated about which of the characters from Solo’s complicated past might turn up in “Han Solo,” and now we know at least one. The Cloud City cassanova was originally played by Billy Dee Williams, and the current code name in casting circles for young Lando is “Chance” — perhaps a reference to the character’s appreciation of cards and dice.

Though we met Lando in “The Empire Strikes Back” — in which Darth Vader forced him to betray Han, Leia, Chewbacca and C-3PO when they turned up at Cloud City — he has a long history with Solo that we may see parts of in the new standalone film. Lando famously lost the Millennium Falcon to Solo in a game called sabacc — though he got to fly it again in “Return of the Jedi.”

Good... we definitely need to get some (new canon) Lando backstory if we're going to get a "young Han" movie.

Who would be a good fit for Lando?

Do what they did for force awakens. Get a unknown young actor build a new star

 

[hennessy]

Michael B Jordan?

 

[...So]

[jaypesoz]

Michael B Jordan?

So that's MBJ confirmed for Black Panther and is the front runner for Green Lantern, Black Mantis, Winston in the Ghostbusters re-boot, Dillon's son in the next Predators, and young Lando Calrissian now, right?

Spoiler

not srs, but MBJ gets my vote

Blasting that At-At

Loved that shot. As a matter of fact, I love the visual feel of the entire trailer. I'm pretty hopeful that it dtays that way for the actual movie.

that X-Wing attack!

The upside-down Death Star, and the Tie Fighter rising up in front of Jyn!

The Star Destroyer over the bluff.
The slowed down music.
The tie in Gyn's face.
X-Wing's flying planet side at night, lights on.

And of course the At-At's on the beach.

So many beautiful shots.
