Chris Pratt would be the best choice on that page. The rest of them, I've never heard of any of 'em.

Pratt's not likely to get the part due to his age. Apparently they want a 20-something Han Solo. Pratt is an old man at 36.

Meh, true enough I guess, but considering the article got it right in that Ford was 31 when he started shooting Star Wars...that's not too far off. Plus Pratt has box office draw, especially if he does new Indiana Jones movies. Him and Han Solo just means there will be billions for them to make.

I'd prefer Pratt over anyone else on that list, but they'll probably cast some Twilight-esque pretty boy.

Hopefully someone has the common sense to realize most disposable income lies with those that actually grew up watching the original IV, V, and VI as kids/teens, meaning we ain't gonna like no sparkly vampire D-bag all that much for 'our' Han Solo.

But they might not give two shits, either. I'm sure they'll think "Meh, whatevs. They're gonna see it anyway." And they'd be right, the dickweeds. >:(

Most of them look like prissy Metrosexuals. ::)

Yeah what the hell? Disney is bound and determined to jack up the Star Wars brand. Maybe they should force one of the actors to train their replacement actor, because they demand less money. Talent be damned.

I meant no offense to our very own Mini-Metrosexual. I swear. :-*

Nicholas Hoult isn't bad. He played Nux in the last Mad Max, so he's got some 'awesome movie' cred. :)

Come on, the Star Trek universe was turned into poo, why not do the same with Star Wars? ::)

BanzaiCat · July 09, 2015, 07:41:51 AM

Because J.J. Abrams isn't direc...

...awww, hell.

I bet none of them could win a Quick-Draw against Greedo. Even with his big, green bug-eyes.

If you see Greedo coming, you already have your blaster out under the table.

That didn't sound right..
