As of yesterday, Friday May 6th, The Hollywood Reporter reported that a final decision had been reached on the New Han Solo: Alden Ehrenreich! Mr. Ehrenreich even comes with Steven Spielberg’s “stamp of approval” according to The Hollywood Reporter. So, just how heavy will that stamp weigh-in for the Star Wars fandom?
As for me, well, I’m not one to judge, nor am I qualified to be considered a critic of any sort, but I still stick to my original reaction when news of a Han Solo standalone film was announced:
Recasting for Han Solo is treading into dangerous waters [in my opinion] and such a decision should not be taken lightly. Han Solo is the iconic character we know and love thanks to Mr. Ford and to replace him … not sure that is wise.
Again, I’m not one to pass judgment and only time will tell if the Force is with Disney/Lucasfilm on this decision. Yet, when I sit back to ponder this, I hear a young Han’s chastising voice say:
“Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.”
