Star Wars: Han Solo Movie Starts Shooting, Working Title Revealed

Han Solo Shot First!

I got a bad feeling about this...

Isn't the point of giving these projects code names to help keep them secret while they're being made?

I'm a huge fan of Star Wars but they'll end up quickly saturating the market if they keep making these types of movies. People WILL get fed up of it, I don't care if its Star Wars, people will burn out from all the nostalgia BS being thrown at them on a yearly basis. There was no need to make a Han Solo movie, its just simply a cash in. Just like the rumoured Boba Fett movie. We don't need it.

They need to expand the universe and stop shrinking it because it feels safe. Star Wars is such a huge sandbox of potential stories that it begs to have talented creative minds working on it. It's why I loved it so much growing up, I'd dream of all the other places, characters and battles we never saw in the movies.

We've had four movies with Han Solo, and as cool as he is, he's a one dimensional character, you can't change him or develop him because you'll fundamentally change him. All this movie will be is some young guy pretending to be Harrison Ford and it'll have the same old tired, cliché BS story for mindless morons to fawn over and claim its brilliant due to all the fancy CGI and endless cameos and fanservice.To those thinking it was the same for Ewan McGregor playing Obi Wan - no it isn't, its completely different. For all the flack Lucas gets for the Prequels, at least he told a new story, at least he went forward in a new direction. Because of this we got new and valid Obi Wan content because it was telling something we had no idea about. This Han Solo movie is about nothing but HIM and things we already know about i.e. we'll see him meeting Chewie, winning the Millennium Falcon, the Kessel Run, run in with Boba Fett and Jabba and smuggling around the Empire. All things the original trilogy already told us about and established. We don't NEED someone else's interpretation of the literal steps of these events, our imagination, four movies knowing Han and the aesthetics of the originals already gave us enough to know how it went.

This will be the first Star Wars movie I won't watch and from listening to what's coming out of Disney, it won't be the last.

This isn't really that strange a working title. Red Cup = Solo Cup.
