It's hard to pull off a younger version of a character like that. The one time I can think of that I thought was really good was josh Brolin doing Tommy Lee Jones in MiB3.

Yeah, I don't get the "owning it" thing. Ford owns it. Anything else is not Solo.

Does anyone think that Donald Glover won't be able to pull off a convincing version of Lando Calrissian? Ron Howard is the key to this film. If he can't get Ehrenreich's performance where it should be, I think they scrap the entire film. I find it highly unlikely that they go back into the casting process and essentially reshoot the film, again. The cost would be outrageous. |

Recasting would be a nightmare. Maybe they can pull it off in 15 years but it's tough to do when Ford's actually still alive and working. |

Unlike Rogue One, I think the general public and even huge Star Wars fans are skeptical that this film will work so if word of mouth is bad, it could be their first flop. |

I think the overall problem with the concept of the film is the limited time range compared to the original. Asking Ewan to play Obi Wan 40 years younger works, (the voice sounds similar so it's a pass). Asking anyone to play a 30 year old Han Solo 10 years younger is an entirely different animal. People don't change that drastically in that small of a time frame. The only way to pull it off is with a convincing mimic. |

While he was able to successfully ape Christopher Reeve, he was completely unconvincing in the role. I agree that making this film, especially now, was a bad idea but hiring a Ford "mimic" would have laughable and most likely, disastrous. |
Those of you worried about speech patterns and cadences... were you distracted by Chris Pine as Capt. Kirk? If the actor gets the character, any distraction will go away after a few minutes.

Let's say Glover nails it as Lando but Ehrenreich is garbage. Is it feasible to use any useful material already shot and do a rewrite to center the film around Lando, and build up to why he would have betrayed his friends (with a brief cameo from "Han")? I would much rather see that portion of the universe than a terrible Solo movie. I guess this is directed more toward Dane.
edit: Also, if this film is scrapped will it kill Ehrenreich's career for a while? |

Every actor working on this film has a full schedule (most people are booked 12-18 months out). Same goes for the Cinematographer, editors, gaffers, electricians, set makers, etc. and so on, so you're basically looking at losing the entire cast and crew. Currently, Lucasfilm is paying the Han Solo crew every day, even when they're not at work and paying for studio time, even though they're not filming. It would be better to scrap the whole movie than attempt to cobble together a script with the current cast and crew. Quote:
I saw that movie and recently, Beautiful Creatures. I didn't care for either performance. |
