    Part of the rumors currently is that we will be seeing how Lando lost the falcon .

    While I am happy by the casting of Donald Glover as Lando, what excites me the most is the potential new characters, particularly the long-rumored female lead. Whether or not it's "Sana Solo" from the comics, I am curious to see the supporting cast set within a smuggler's underworld. So far, the most we've seen on film regarding smugglers/bounty hunters as the lead characters are animated episodes within several Clone Wars arcs.

    It would be interesting to see some of the bounty hunters we've seen in TCW make a couple appearances...maybe even Boba Fett?

    So @AstromechRecords and @Rieekan were discussing the problem (or not) of having young actors without resemblance playing characters we know of later in their lives. I get that actors should be actors, not imitators, but consistency is important. Gonna go out on a nerd limb here, but the analogy fits (and heck, this is a SW forum...it's nerdy already):

    Any Splinter Cell fans here? If you've played those games, you know Michael Ironside had voiced Sam Fisher for the first five games and really defined the personality and parameters of the character. Blacklist came and Ubisoft recast the role with a much younger actor (and gave Fisher a much younger look, albeit keeping the character in his mid-50s, still...um), but it was an actor who was hardly anything like the Sam Fisher that Michael Ironside had developed. And in interviews, statements were made like, "Eric Johnson [new actor] isn't trying to be Michael Ironside, he's trying to take the character to new places." And this is exactly the type of advice Harrison Ford has given to Alden Ehrenreich. After what happened with Splinter Cell, though, that advice worries me a bit. Now granted, in Splinter Cell's case, they're moving forward in time, so the difference is even more jarring, but the point is the same: you need visual and character consistency for the story to remain believable.

    There are cases where this works (Maggie Gyllenhaal replacing Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes in The Dark Knight) and cases where it doesn't, but in the cases where it works, there's a strong enough level of consistency that you can believe the differing actors are the same character. I certainly hope we find that to be the case with these Han Solo films.

    Typically the new actor has to simply emulate the character and not the actor's predecessor but the visual similarities have to be there, too. I mean, he could use prosthetics and what not like Ewan did in ROTS to add to the visual style though

    It would be cool if we get a newer not as worn looking Falcon.

    Cool, he's growing his hair out for the role and getting some tips from the man himself!

    I'm glad to see Alden reaching out to Harrison to learn about the character and I'm equally glad to see Harrison agreeing to talk to him
