    They should've cast the guy who played Young Harrison Ford in "Age of Adeline". He even sounded like him.

    Lulz. All you guys complaining about Han. Star Wars "fans" complaining about a new movie before it even comes out - SHOCKING.

    No one seemed to mind that they recast Han Solo for episode 7....

    (Seriously, though - they've hired three different actors to play Indiana Jones and the world kept right on spinning. If the movie is fun & entertaining, who cares if he doesn't look and sound like Harrison Ford?)

    They should have made him an Asian chick to just piss everyone off even more.

    Han was also OLDER. This is a younger Han. His personality likely evolves over time. This is not a carbon copy.

    Han isn't old in A New Hope. I think he's 28 or 29. This film begins 10 years before we meet him in A New Hope, but the movie jumps forward 5 years throughout the film.

    Yeah, not sure what is going on here but I guess Lando was a pimp in his younger days? He should be pretty good in this though.

    Yeah, the lead sounds more like a younger version of George Peppard, to me at least.

    Real miss for Ford, IMHO. Still might be a fun movie though.

    Man, this would have been perfect. Totally looks like him.

    Just checked out some scenes from that film. Wow! He would have been spot on! I wonder if he was even up for it?

    Still, I’m looking forward to the film.

    Looks like people are hoping for a casino royale origin story to explain the casting choice.

    Dude is wearing a cape. If that's not a cloud pimp I don't know what is.

    I'm already done with Star Wars. The cash grab continues.

    (It would be one thing if the movies were good, but they really haven't been for some time)
