he literally caught a taxi one-handed and all...or dropped in one... Wait, there's a movie out there that has that already!  Multi-pass!

I think I started a thread of no body/not dead...Ice kinda always though Mace survived.  Anakin fell 500 stories from one speeder to another and did lose his breath...it's the force

Multi-Force?

I want an all Jar Jar movie.  I just want it for the anger it would incite.

I look at the Trek reboot and I have every faith in the world someone out there could play Han Solo in his younger days just fine.  What I would want though is him in his Imperial days saving Chewie and going off on his own by breaking the Empire's new rules.  I doubt I'd get anything that cool and honest to his backstory that already exists.

Hell think about it...  McGregor did a damn fine Obi-Wan...  Why couldn't someone play Solo?

Yeah, sometimes you just have to let go.  Roles get recast all the time.  Daniel Craig was great James Bond.  Hopefully they'll find someone to be a great young Han Solo the same way they found a good kid to be Young Indy.

And I agree with you Jesse - cadet Han Solo would be a good place to start, but there are so many ways they can go - young Lando, winning the Falcon, working for Jabba, etc.  It will be interesting to see which way they take it.

I think Scott even already suggested him, jokingly maybe?  I dunno.  I think the entire Trek reboot cast is outstanding except maybe the Uhura doesn't just seem like Uhura to me, but Chris Pine?  He actually made you think he was a better acting Shatner.

And speaking of Shatner, Betty White jut shat in her pants!

Simon Pegg made a damn cool Scotty.  Harold made a cool Sulu I thought but without the big ball voice.  :-\

Not sure if you're referring to my post, but I was thinking Corben Dallas and "The Fifth Element."

Fear.  Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering. Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.

My Han Solo focus collection just groaned at the idea of having to collect an entire movie line worth of Han Solo figures - fast blasting Han Solo, Tech Armor Han Solo, Battle Damage Han Solo, Freeze Armor Han Solo, etc.   :-X

I originally read that as "Fart Blasting Han Solo."

There could be some really off the wall stuff that could be mined to great effect in the Star Wars universe. How about that old episode zero storyline? I'd watch a young Qui-Gon movie showing how he became so independent of the Jedi Order. A full-on Shadows of the Empire movie? I could even see something like a Nien Nunb movie that makes a fun story out of how he found himself as Lando's copilot out of seemingly nowhere (something I've wondered since I was a kid.)

Is there any precedent for a movie series like they've proposed? I can't think of anything that comes close. Thomas the Train maybe, he has a new movie (on video anyway) every year.
