If they are really doing extensive re-shooting they may need to wait for that to be completed to do a real trailer.  I'm not holding my breath.

Honestly, the one that I think everyone really wants is the Obi-Wan movie.  And I will say this: I didn't have high hopes for Rogue One either, and it was WAY better than I expected.  So maybe low expectations are a good thing... 

LOL

Or not.

I'm kinda hoping we see how Solo acquired the Falcon in the first place.  I've always thought that the ship had a reputation before Solo acquired it.  Life events they could (and should) explore: Han becoming a smuggler.  Han and Chewie becoming a team (including the circumstances of the life-debt Chewie owed Han), the acquisition of the Falcon, and the infamous "Kessel Run". 

1,2,and 3 all leading up to 4, of course.  :-)

Reading the "official synopsis" that starwars.com just released, I think we will be getting just that. I've never watched a Ron Howard movie, but I've heard he is a great director. I have high hopes, but low expectations right now.

I really liked TFA, and I loved Rogue One, and The Last Jedi is in my top 3 Star Wars movies, I need to see it not on the big screen to past final judgment. With all that being said, man Solo looks like a bomb. To start out with Han’s character in the OT as someone you shouldn’t care about but then he grows into someone you can love, so Solo will be touching on a character that you shouldn’t care about, it is a flawed premise from the start, then you ad changing directors mid-movie, they should of shuttered it and moved on.

I mean its SW so I will see it in theaters but this seems like a bad move.

I've seen the original animated Grinch, but that is all. I've never even heard of Willow or Cocoon.

I believe he also did Frost/Nixon and Rush, both really good movies. He's definitely got the chops for it I think, currently people are kind of ticked at him though because he teased that the trailer would be "coming soon" only to release a synopsis of things everybody assumed would happen in it.

I honestly want one trailer. That is all. I want to see what it looks like so that I can know how excited to be for it. But I don't want to see a lot of content in the trailer.

I'm sorry.  Cry

But, there's hope! You've heard of them now. You can still change your fate. You can watch them while waiting for a promising but low content trailer for another Disney film that will likely reveal the writer's misunderstanding of the original characters. You can still find out why I want to throw a magic acorn at JJ Abrams and why I want Disney to stop swimming in the pool with Episodes 4, 5 and 6.

Try to see Willow and Cocoon, is the gist of what I'm saying.

Apologies, but it is really odd to meet a star wars fan that doesn't know Willow..which was George Lucas' foray into Sword and Sorcery.  You should watch everyone of those films I listed.  Here is the trailer for Willow...

He has no control over the trailer release.  I 100% am sure he was told the trailer would be released on that date

I've been passing the time waiting for the real one by watching some of the Fan-made trailers and this one ain't half bad.

So Disney has finally broken the deafening silence and said the trailer will be released during Good Morning America on Monday morning. I don't watch "talking head" television but this will probably be worth it. http://collider.com/solo-a-star-wars-story-trailer-release-date/

Also a rumor going 'round that a teaser will appear during the Super Bowl but seems kind of odd to do that if a full trailer comes to us the very next day.

So the first Solo teaser just aired during the Super Bowl about 2 minutes ago. Hard to really dive into it without the ability to re-watch but first impression is that it looks very much in the vein of Rogue One and felt like Original Trilogy material which is a plus. The Imperial "military recruiter" is what I'll call him, instantly took me back to the classic Star Wars feels. Something about a crisp Imperial uniform always takes me back.

I'm excited to see more star wars movies, however the trailer seemed to remind me of the fake Dundee movie trailer. It's kind of felt jokey.

Regardless though, I'm happy.

Waiting to see the full trailer today but based on the teaser, I am going to like this movie, I hope. Han Solo is my favorite non-Force user character.

Regardless, I will be there opening day. And yes, I am also excited to see more Star Wars movies.

So far from the Super Bowl Teaser and today's longer Trailer it's looking and sounding really good to me.  Seems like they're trying to go more "Smuggler Crew" ensemble crew though ala Firefly or similar shows. Haven't looked much into the director or actors yet, but the story seems to be all the points fans would want.   I'm optimistic.
