[Sapiens]

Mando

 

[ahoyhoy]

Will probably be playing a space drug dealer.

Hopefully not though.

 

[-griffy-]

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

That is very cool to hear.

 

[Reverend Funk]

I don't like the idea of this movie but the cast is pretty dang good

 

[Transistor]

Loved him in the Wire, but he'll always be Chalky White to me

 

[Ninja Scooter]

You come at Greedo you best not miss.

 

[Slayven]

If he is a CGI character i am going to push over a magazine rack

 

[OG Shaka Zulu]

Will probably be playing a space drug dealer.

Hopefully not though.

Lmao!

Omar comin!

 

[Boem]

Hey that's cool.

 

[Einchy]

This cast keeps getting better and better.

 

[echoshifting]

Here's hoping it's a major, on-screen role.

 

[Boke1879]

This cast keeps getting better and better.

Yup. The cast is looking really good imo. I know people are kinda sour on a Han Solo movie, but imo the ingredients look very promising.

 

[Tsukumo]

Loved him in the Wire, but he'll always be Chalky White to me

I need to re-watch Boardwalk Empire.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Glad to hear it. Dude needs to be in more stuff.

 

[Dalek]

Gonna be a bounty hunter looking for Hunn Enutt.

 

[Slayven]

Yup. The cast is looking really good imo. I know people are kinda sour on a Han Solo movie, but imo the ingredients look very promising.

I am more excited for this than I am for the mainline. Jedi nonsense bores me. Except for Clone wars and rebels

“I don’t know about Sabacc, but I think these DL-44's beat a full house.”

 

[ahoyhoy]

“I don’t know about Sabacc, but I think these DL-44's beat a full house.”

"A man's gotta have a code, ya feel me?"

"It's an older code, but it checks out."

 

[The Flash]

Lando's dad maybe?

 

[Sectorseven]

Isn't this already filming?

 

[Hazmat]

'Bacca comin'!

 

[vacantseas]

Here's hoping it's a major, on-screen role.

Doubt he'd be in talks for a minor off screen role.

 

[Bronx-Man]

If he is a CGI character i am going to push over a magazine rack

Get ready for Greedo's twin brother, Leedo.

 

[Busty]

Fun fact, the 'K' in his name stands for Kessel Run.

 

[GustyGardens]

For a second I thought that said Kat Williams, not Michael K. Williams. I super excited. Kat Williams would make a perfect Chewbacca.

 

[Kinyou]

Get ready for Greedo's twin brother, Leedo.

And after Leedo almost shoots Han, Han will mumble to himself "next time I'll shoot first"


Oh god, that's going to happen, isn't it?

 

[Lord Fagan]

The prospects for this film just keep getting better and better, man. He's a great actor, I can't wait to find out what kind of role they want him for.

 

[echoshifting]

Doubt he'd be in talks for a minor off screen role.

I mean to say like a CGI character, that would be disappointing

And I could see him ending up just being featured in one major scene, it would be cool if he's in the whole movie

 

[Sanjuro]

He should be the voice of the Millennium Falcon.

 

[Aselith]

Chewie comin

 

[Slayven]

For a second I thought that said Kat Williams, not Michael K. Williams. I super excited. Kat Williams would make a perfect Chewbacca.

Kat Williams as a skeezy space hustler would be greatness

Death sticks, that's what's selling.

 

[Slayven]

You Tootine niggas are off the hook, I am going back to Nak hutta.

 

[Messi]

You Tootine niggas are off the hook, I am going back to Nak hutta.

Errr

Edit : oh it's Slayven.

 

[WedgeX]

I both want and do not want him to end up being IG-88.

 

[NYR]

 

[StriKeVillain]

Gonna be a bounty hunter looking for Hunn Enutt.

That's not half bad.

 

[Slayven]

Errr

Edit : oh it's Slayven.

Turk could be the live action Sora that cements all of Disney properties together

 

[Borgnine]

[BibiMaghoo]

 

[Tugatrix]

"Just like you solo, I got the shotgun, you got the ship, it's all in the game"

He officially joined the movie. No word on his part.

 

[The Last Wizard]

You Tootine niggas are off the hook, I am going back to Nak hutta.

Whew, you almost got me😂

 

[BronsonLee]

[MHWilliams]

Mace Windu's son.

Lando's father.

Only black family in the galaxy.
