I honestly would enjoy her role more if she wasn't the love interest.
Scruffy-looking untitled Han Solo film thread
- Thread starter Skywalker
- Start date
You have no idea how much the thought of seeing Emilia Clarke dressed in an Imperial officer's uniform is exciting me right now.
I do wonder if it may be the smart move for her movie career at this point. After all, Terminator must have been a bit of a setback and Hollywood seems to have a low failure tolerance for leading ladies. So perhaps a villain role in a successful film (which this is all but guaranteed to be) will help raise her profile without saddling her as a romantic lead typecasting. Also, female villain roles come up so seldom, it would get her attention on that alone.
Now that I think about it, she's about the right size for a TIE pilot. That could be interesting and a logical antagonist for a smuggler.
Maybe she can get Jason Momoa a slot too
He'd be perfect as Quinlan Vos, no?Maybe she can get Jason Momoa a slot too
Then Clarke can play asajj ventress

You're giving me Iron Man 2 flashbacks
Just watch throw back a beer and then throw an axe:
I guess I'll post this tidbit of news here since this is the closest thing we have to an anticipation thread for now, but word is Woody Harrelson is being courted to play Han Solo's mentor in the next anthology movie.
Woody Harrelson in a Star Wars movie. Never thought I'd see the day.

Is he going to be playing a drunk with a heart of gold who's down in the dumps till he meets a new protege?
While Chewie and Lando are of course confirmed, I wonder if we'll also see some other characters from Han's past-Jabba, Greedo, or Maz perhaps? I think Fett is pretty much a given....
Also if Jabba shows up if they'll go practical or CG, since the Disney films seem to be a mix of the two. While the 1997 Jabba was pretty crappy, the TPM and 2004 versions looked okay...

Why do people keep assuming Boba Fett is going to be in this? The rivalry thing was an invention of the EU and only then *after* he got out of the Sarlacc IIRC.
Generally speaking, smugglers don't have much reason to have rivalries with bounty hunters. They may move in similar circles but their jobs run along totally different lines. Fett only became interested in Solo after both Vader and Jabba had a contract out on him. The only true rivals of Boba that we know about were Mace Windu and to a lesser extent, Ventress, both of whom are dead (probably.)
For Han's part, I think it's clear his rival is going to be Lando. Those two are frenemies, through and through.
As for Woody Harrelson: it's just an internet rumour, so I'm not about to hold my breath. That said, I can absolutely see him doing a larger than life Booster Terrik or Hondo Ohnaka type rogue.

They'd do well to improve on the 2004 version. I appreciated it at the time as a stopgap fix for the awfulness of the 1997 version but there's still room for improvement.
If this story isn't going to be about Han winning the Falcon and the Kessel Run, I'll eat my hat.
