Han? Is that you?
Of all theStar Warsmovies ever (even the prequels), I think my excitement level has been least forSolo: A Star Wars Story. Amidthe directing controversy, acting controversy, and general question of why it is even a thing, it’s been challenging to get hyped up for this one at all. So when I say that this new trailer for the movie, which finally shows off a bit more than teases of Han Solo and Chewie, isn’t crappy, that actually means a lot.
Look, I’m still not convinced this will be good, but I love westerns, and I love train heists and this is very clearly a movie that is both of those things, but with lasers. Science Fiction and westerns have a long and fantastic history together, and Ron Howard isn’t abaddirector so… maybe this will be fun. Maybe?
Maybe not. I’m still not behind Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo at all. Man, does he look like a guy desperately trying to do a Harrison Ford impersonation. Considering the fact that a lot of this movie is going to rest on his performance my small sliver of enthusiasm looks to be crushed pretty quickly.
