Well at least he's kind of a blank slate. You can pretty much do whatever you want with him. That's much harder with Han Solo.

he should be left in the belly of the Sarlacc Pit where the rest of the jokers belong

Exactly.
So building a Kasdan-centric project where he is writer and producer, and likely always was the backup ghost director just in case, yet hiring two fairly established directors with their own style seems like a contradictory choice and a recipe for conflict.

I'm laughing right now
Man is old, I would be surprised if he knew how to use his DVD player without assistance.
I think there would be a better argument had he not been treated like a clown in ROTJ

lol I don't buy that for a single second
This makes the idea that Kathleen Kennedy disliked the idea of Lord and Miller being the directors from the getgo or early on, but because Kasdan wanted them, she went along with it, being the professional that she is. But when Kasdan and the crew finally started whining to Momma Kennedy, she didn't hesitate when L&M resisted.
They must hope to re-shoot pretty much all of his scenes...

It's like you want them to post it.
Perfect chance for a retcon. By the end of the series show him celebrating post-Solo delivery, high and drunk as fuck. That would explain his lackluster performance in ROTJ.
promising because variety told you so? rofl rofl and how can i take the prometheus bit seriously...guys a complete joke of an actor.

I don't think Fett is anymore, really. That's more like a 90s thing that's just kept echoing around. It seems like a disconnect between the execs and the fandom.
At this point Fett's about as popular as Dash Rendar

Lawrence Kasdan spotted at Heathrow airport: https://mobile.twitter.com/MakingStarWars/status/878758330256248834
My man looks pissed.

It's just grasping at straws because lots of people wanted anything but a Han Solo film without Harrison Ford.
Regardless of Boba himself, Mandalore as a whole is pretty cool.
You going pop-GAF on us, Roberto?

I figure if I use ancient dead slanguage I can connect with you on a deeper, more fundamental level.
(I think "stan" got added to the dictionary this year, didn't it?)
He was a bounty hunter and had one of the cooler/distinct costumes and ships in the original trilogy. Most of us were little kids when we saw those films, so that was enough for him to be bad ass (regardless of what he actually did on screen). The expanded universe stuff took that interest and ran with it.
That's how I look every time I go to the airport.

Man I would so love a in-depth documentary about this film than the damn film itself at this point.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Uh no, because I've seen both actors in multiple projects...You're saying Logan Marshall Green is a joke of an actor? Based off that pseudo intellectual garbage Prometheus? He was sublime in The Invitation and Quarry so...nah. Calling you out on that one. No actor could've saved that mess.
Expand your watching beyond matinee throwaway nonsense and you might be surprised by what some of these actors are capable of when given good material.
There's been good sting of luck giving mega production to directors that proved their mettle in TV and smaller productions; but I did kinda scratch my head on this choice when they announced it.
Comedy is a very different beast than dramatic films. FFS Adam Sandler pumps out hugely profitable comedies like he's a pregnant rabbit, and only does so because they're dirt cheap to produce and easy to slap together.

Does anyone know a single person who is excited for a young Han Solo movie? I certainly don't. This was a terrible idea from the start
Having lando and Han talking over each other and correcting one another would have made really good scenes where totally different things happen in the same scenario
Damn making it a frame story is too good of an idea for this earth

I like how every time Kasdan's screenplay is mentioned in these reports, his son's involvement follows immediately. Just the slightest hint of nepotism.
Although you probably mean the movie itself.
Wow. It looks like he is DYING.
Star Wars prints money. You're not excited, but I bet you'll open your wallet come Christmas.
Same here. I'd rather they actually explored new characters and worlds within the Star Wars universe for the side movies. I don't see a point (beyond the obvious of making guaranteed money) by sticking with the tried and true characters even in the side projects. Explore a little and they may hit paydirt with something new that they can milk for the next 20 years.
Sounds like a generic company meeting that you clap whenever a new hire is announced regardless of how they felt on the old one.

You'd be pissed if some jerk was taking pictures of you after a long haul flight when you are jetlagged.
He looks like a person at an airport.
Let's not pretend Star Wars is more than it is. The entire premise was a modern revival of the 1930's serials like Flash Gordon. Lucas only made Star Wars because he couldn't get the rights to Flash Gordon.
And what were those 1930's serials? They were tv shows before tv.
"How will Flash get out of this one, folks? Come to the theater next week and find out!"
Running Star Wars like Marvel(as a giant blockbuster serial) isn't only good business sense. It's respecting what Lucas was aiming for in the first place.

No one runs 12 cameras at a time on a set. Ridley Scott or Tony Scott ever ran something like 3 or 4 and they are known for running too many cameras.
What it means is setups is 12. A setup is every time the camera is moved and a new shot is setup. A big movie should idle at around 30. A lot of setups in a day is 70 which guys like Robert Rodriguez challenge themselves to do.

Lowkey savagery.
Never really got into the idea of a Han Solo prequel in the first place. Clearly a Disney moneygrab. That said, I'm there day one.

Can it quick!
At least with the Star Wars cinematic universe, they actually allow for references to their television characters in the movies.
Meanwhile we've got the Marvel TV characters staggering outside the quarters of Marvel Studios, begging for dimes.
