    Me likey. Young Han film, meeting Chewie, working for Jabba, A small part for Boba where Han beats him in a fight or summit to explain how Han knows his name in RotJ. No need for Vader, just some Stormies.

    Boba film, many bounty hunters, They could work for Jabba. They could work for Vader. He could screw them both somehow. We cud find out why Vader says "no disintegrations" to Boba in TESB.

    A Yoda film set 500 years BBY could be cool too. Totally fresh ground with all brand new characters.

    Lot's of folks felt that way when Lucas began work on a re-imagining of Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress set in outer space back in the mid 1970's. That turned out okay.

    I'm thinking that if there is a Han Solo movie, Han will be in his 20's. Highly doubt we'll be having an adventure with a teenage Han Solo.

    When I saw Die Hard 4, and they came to the scene with Kevin Smith and the Boba Fett Standee, I argued that I didn't believe that Bruce Willis wouldn't know Boba Fett was from Star Wars. My friends argued that most people wouldn't know that. So I said "Then that joke doesn't work. If no one recognizes Boba Fett as a Star Wars character, then they won't get the joke when Bruce Willis gets it wrong." An interesting commentary on how popular and recognizable a character Boba Fett is, I think. What do you guys think?

    Eh, not entirely excited with both films. I'd rather see a Jango film.

    Another bad idea. Isn't EP 7-9 enough? This over-saturation is exactly what I was afraid of happening....

    I'd much rather have an Old Republic era trilogy.

    Did Lando? - "That was never a condition of our agreement, nor was giving Han to this bounty hunter!"

    LOL - I jest ;)

    I want stories told because they are there to be told, and not because they are likely to generate profit.

    Star Wars Origins : Han Solo

    Look forward to this one don't care so much for Boba Fett & do not care at all for a yoda movie .

    There's no reason why Harrison Ford could not do this with the new technology....he just has lots of dots on his face & is computer generated to look younger ,

    Also there should be a cameo of Darth Vader in the Han Solo movie .....

    I totally disagree because its about $$$$$ and secondary characters aren't going to sell movies tickets. Yoda and Han Solo are beloved characters who the general public recognizes. My 70 year old mother could care less about Star Wars but she loves Yoda for some reason lol and will be there opening night

    I'm sure all of the spinoff movies featuring single characters will be lower budget. I think your Judge Dredd comparison is a good one, since I think he's actually less well known than Han or Boba. So, I think it likely they would get the Dredd style treatment. I'm not sure Disney expects them to be as successful as the Episodes. I think they'd be foolish to expect that.

    Wow, could be great if handled correctly and I for one would rather have new Star Wars and maybe not like it than nothing at all......if you don't like it, you've lost 2 hours of your life and that's it, move on and forget about it. Most of us are here because we love Star Wars in some way, some like the OT, some the PT, some the EU and some like it all.....that's our safety net, it'll still be there if you don't like the new material. Lets all enjoy the ride together, nobody thought we would have this opportunity, we could truly be on the brink of a golden era for Star Wars.....I suppose what I'm saying in short is don't worry, be happy
