How early? Perhaps our guy from "Hitman" can get his shot at SW immortality...

Timothy Olyphant? Interesting. I think Clay floated David Boreanz's name out there, too.

And really, what actor in Hollywood wouldn't want a shot at playing Solo in a new Star Wars flick?

That would be interesting, especially if we get Ian McShane to be a crime boss who feeds his victims to Wu's banthas.

If they're going for "young", Olyphant is not a fit.

Also, it hasn't been confirmed whether or not Harrison Ford will appear in Episode VII or if his agreement is for the spin-off trilogy.

Boreanz would be older than Ford when he last portrayed him.

not to mention a horrible choice.

I agree.

It's going to be a problem to cast a "young" Han Solo because there's just not that much young talent in America.

The Arts, Theater, so on and so forth is dominated by artistic types. "Jocks", for lack of a better word, rarely think about going into theater because it's considered "gay" and so forth.

So, we're seeing more and more of our action heroes come from Australia and even England because too many people have a stick up their ass when it comes to theater and acting in America.

It's really a shame.

good point. Its no surprise that guys like mcgregor and nieson got tapped for the prequels.

This is no lie, theres a definite stigma attached to acting in this country.

It depends what area of country you are speaking of, because in SWMO they have a real strong arts and drama contingent.

This kid just screams Han Solo.
