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.

About how I feel at the moment. Definitely gonna give it a chance.

For those of you who haven't gotten in on the action yet:

Maybe it's just me but Woody Harrelson's lines in the trailer immediately took me back to the guy in the beginning of Indiana Jones, The Last Crusade who gives a young Indiana his hat, maybe just me because it's a young Harrison Ford both times. That shot of the Star Destroyer coming out of the nebula or whatever it is looks pretty amazing.

I am not sure the ship at the end is actually the Falcon.  If it is, it was before modifications were made...  It has no top-side sensor dish, and there gap in the forward area ... isn't there.

I suppose it could be the Falcon, though.  The YT-1300 is modular, and changing the hull form would make sense for a smuggler.  :-)

Exactly. I don't think it has been for sure confirmed to be the Falcon, but I do think that if it is, Han modifies it. A lot.

I recently got a chance to read the "owner's manual" book for the YT-1300 freighter and even though it was decanonized it showed how much Han (illegally) modified the ship to make it a force to be reckoned with. Kinda hope some of that material makes it into the movie, chances look good.

Exactly.  I am pretty sure he greatly upgraded the hyper drive, for example, or his famous "Kessel Run" wouldn't be such a big deal.  And the ship could maneuver with TIE fighters and X-Wings on a nearly equal footing, acting like a heavy fighter instead of a freighter.  That would take some huge boosting of the ship's engines.

So the count stands at just over 2 months till release date and somehow it seems like even with the trailer making the internet rounds that Disney hasn't really been throwing the marketing budget into full effect. The posters for it have finally arrived at my local movie theater along with this wonderful beauty:



But I haven't seen the trailer put in front of any movies yet. Anybody actually seen the trailer played in your theater? Maybe I'm just going to movies that aren't related genre-wise.

I saw the ad before Black Panther.

Anyone know when ticket sales begin?

Selfish passion is unquenching.
What strength have you when you are a slave to your passions?
What power without strength of character?
To self centered rage, you will be chained.
The dark side is no victory.

The long path to peace is through balanced emotions.
The first step to gaining knowledge is recognizing your own ignorance.
Serenity is patient, not passionate satisfaction.
Find harmony by understanding chaos.
Become one with the force, which will never die.

Glad to hear someone saw it. If I remember correctly it was 6 weeks before TLJ came out that I was able to purchase my tix... scratch that, according to my email it was October 10th, over 2 months before release date. I can't imagine Solo will get quite as much hype but I'd expect tickets to be on sale soon. I would recommend signing up for an email notification through a ticket site like Fandango, for instance. Then you get the notification the same day they go live. Super convenient.

Saw it last night before Pacific Rim.

New TV spot released a few days ago, Han is the main focus of this particular one.

Remember Han, "let the Wookie win."

Almost a month away from release and still no advance tickets on sale. Very perplexing to say the least.

He looks and sounds a bit more like Han in this TV spot than he did in the last trailer. Makes me a bit more hopeful that it might not completely disappoint me and ruin Han's character. Like I've said before, I have high hopes, but low expectations for this movie.

I hear you Taegin, I think I mentioned it on another thread that this movie could be totally "decanonized" by the fans if it turns out that bad. It's a major roll of the dice.

I'll still watch it, and give it a chance, but like I do with many things, I expect the worse. Then I can only be pleasantly surprised. I hope this movie is good, but I won't get my expectations up.
