Han Solo To Get His Own Star Wars Movie Prequel
New submitter alaskana writes: According to Starwars.com, Han Solo will be getting his own movie prequel. The film will purportedly tell the story of a young Han Solo and how he came to be the wily smuggler that shows up in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The film is set to be directed by Christopher Miller and Phil Lord (of The Lego Movie fame) and written by Lawrence and Jon Kasdan. Get your popcorn and tickets ready, as the movie is set to debut May 25, 2018.
As long as the have the Kessel Run, we'll all be satisfied.
Can you imagine a movie populated completely by Gungans! Meesah think it vewry vewry good!
You forgot c3po and r2d2, who must be in every movie no matter how hard you have to strain.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"

... you were able to narrow it down to one reason?
Wait
Bark less. Wag more.
Point. If Lucas properly understood scale, the entire series could have taken place on one planet.
Oliver's law of assumed responsibility: If you're seen fixing it, you will be blamed for breaking it.
Every time I watch them, I come up with another reason to loathe them. Mind you, it's been about five years since the last viewing of any Star Wars film, so I'll probably have forgotten half the reasons the prequels stunk so very very badly.
I remember clearly watching The Phantom Menace and realizing the extent of the suckage when C3PO turns out to be Darth Vader's droid. I was still reeling from the midichlorians nonsense, and then that. Of course, by the time pod-racer video game advertisement had taken up most of the second act, I realized that George Lucas wasn't just a greedy bastard, but well and truly had no fucking idea how to make an at least enjoyable film anymore. Two more prequels and the last Indiana Jones movie convinced me that Lucas was done even as an action-adventure director (the latter demonstrated that he had lost even the basic concept of pacing).
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
