Go to YouTube and check out Anthony Ingruber's Han Solo impression.
Artistically, he would be bloody amazing, if a bit uncanny. I don't think Disney would go for it in a commercial sense though somehow. I hope I'm wrong, because I would truly believe that he is the younger version of everybody's favourite smuggler with a performance like that. :D
So Jesse Pinkman is rumoured to be playing a young Han Solo. Facially i can kind of see it, he could resemble a young Harrison Ford.
Aaron Paul is as old now as Harrison Ford was when he was filming Star Wars in 1976, (actually a year older). Aaron looks good for 35, but they ought to be looking for someone younger. I'm not sure I see any resemblance either, but hey ho.
It's more likely they'll go for a relatively unknown actor in their early twenties, but the aforementioned Anthony Ingruber's resemblance, and his impression is uncanny. I'd be very surprised though if Lucasfilm cast the role on the basis of a petition. ;-)
Aaron Paul is too old to play a 'young' Han Solo, and besides he looks NOTHING like Harrison Ford. I'd have a hard time believing they were the same person. They'd be crazy not to go for Anthony Ingruber - he's young, he has the look, and has the benefit of being relatively unknown.
He is the perfect choice for that role and I would have felt let down of anyone else played Lando in this film!
Despite this casting I still don't see the point of this film and I'm worried it will be a misstep for Disney with the Star Wars films
I thought all the Star Wars films and spin off films were all going to be released in December but Digital Spy reported this film as being released in May 2018
That seems strange with Star Wars Episode 8 released in December 2017 so maybe that release date will change soon?
If Lando isn't rocking the 'tache and wave-fro I'll be disappointed.
Some of the things that could appear in this spin-off:-
Lando's maneouvre at the Battle of Tanaab
Lando losing the Falcon to Han Solo
Han Solo's freeing of Chewbacca from Imperial slavery
Han working for Jabba
How many years before ANH is this set? I can imagine Disney crow-baring in one or two Rogue One characters. If I recall, wasn't Han an Imperial cadet early on, so maybe Krenic could put in in an appearance.
This movie is a creatively bankrupt idea, a studio just cashing in on a name they know will make them some quick buck, there's no reason for this movies to exist, and all it will do is take away from the character of Han Solo.... They could of made something amazing if they did a movie with a new character in the underworld of star wars but nope they put their movie in a small box of what it can possible do all to cash in on the Solo name... Still I'm sure it will look good...
– It will profile Han from the ages of 18 to 24.
– How Han acquires the iconic Millennium Falcon.
– How Han begins to form his relationship with Chewbacca.
– How Han gets his name.
Bit of shock news - directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord have stepped down as directors -
“Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are talented filmmakers who have assembled an incredible cast and crew, but it’s become clear that we had different creative visions on this film, and we’ve decided to part ways. A new director will be announced soon,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm.
“Unfortunately, our vision and process weren’t aligned with our partners on this project. We normally aren’t fans of the phrase ‘creative differences’ but for once this cliché is true. We are really proud of the amazing and world-class work of our cast and crew,” stated Phil Lord and Christopher Miller
The untitled Han Solo film remains scheduled for a May 2018 release.
I reckon the directors got to point in the production when they were about to film the scene where Han reveals his real name and they thought "what the heck is this nonsense?" and quit!

I really hope that was a quote that got lost in translation and that they actually meant "how he got his reputation (name)", as a great smuggler.
So the directors made it too jokey? But as all their other films have been comedies you'd have thought someone might have twigged that it was likely to be their modus. Be interesting to see how the film recovers from this, I wonder who they can get to direct it now? I wonder if Gareth Edwards is available?

Mother of Falcons?
I'm hoping the film will be a swashbuckling pirate/Errol Flynn type movie, ending in the Battle of Taanab.

May has gone this year and we haven't had Star Wars 8 as far as I can remember.

Disney hire two directors who have spent their whole career making comedies then complain when they make it too jokey? 😱
Will be interesting to see if they still make the May 2018 release date or go back to December again.
