This is a dream come true for us, Miller and Lord said. And not the kind of dream where youre late for work and all your clothes are made of pudding, but the kind of dream where you get to make a film with some of the greatest characters ever, in a film franchise youve loved since before you can remember having dreams at all. Pudding?
Why is it that when I search for a metaphor, having clothes made of pudding never occurs to me?

Get Jake Lloyd. He’s bound to have improved by now. Or maybe that Mutt guy from Kingdom of the Crystal Meth.
These seemingly endless number of Star Wars movies sounds like a bad idea.

Wait, no Jar Jar prequel? That's specieist.

“Pudding?”
When I saw this, the first thing that popped into my mind was that scene in “Hot Shots” where Lloyd Bridges picks up a mug of what he thinks is coffee, attempts to drink it, has pudding all over his face, and says “Pudding?”.
My next thought was “Thailand?”

There are three Han Solo books from the 70’s.
I still have all three on my shelf.
There’s also a series of Han Solo novels from the 90’s by A.C. Crispin.

I've got them too: Han Solo at Star's End, Han Solo's Revenge, and Han Solo and the Lost Legacy, all by Brian Daley. Somewhere along the line I picked up the trilogy in an omnibus edition from a used bookstore.
At least Han Solo at Star's End was also adapted for the daily Star Wars comic strip in the early 80s, as well, which was my first exposure to the story. I think it would make a pretty good movie, actually—I have no memory of the other two books.
Brian Daley also adapted the original trilogy into radio dramas for NPR, which are well worth hearing.

I really dont know how I feel about this. No one can be Han Solo except Harrison Ford,
Why on Earth should this even be a problem? You can’t tell me that they can’t take photos of Harrison as a younger man/boy and ‘Pixar’ re-create him, so to speak? Who needs human ACTORS there days?
I mean, I know Orcs aren’t REAL. I know Velociraptors aren’t REAL. But YOU try telling my brain that, LOL!

Yeah, they did that with Jeff Bridges in the Tron sequel. One of the programs looks like he did 30 years before in the first movie:

harrison ford’s current (i.e. the past 10-15 years) grumpy old liberal schtick has sort of ruined all of his movies for me.
for a guy who has made a boatload of money doing something as unimportant to the world as acting, he sure seems a bit angry at the world.
if they reboot, i hope they get somebody who actually has a likable personality. ford seems to have actual disdain for the fans of his movies.

The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles had several different actors playing a younger version, as well as one much older version of the Harrison Ford character. There shouldn't be a problem in casting.
