Will the Han Solo Movie Be Pushed to 2019? - Collider Jedi Council

[@rcstockton]

"You'll tell us in a second, too, Perry." "I will?" "I thought you were." "I could." "Maybe not." Bravo! to the impromptu comedic timing of Perry & Harloff in that exchange at 24:06.

[@gokinsmen]

The closest analogy for this Han Solo movie is BACK TO THE FUTURE. They filmed over half the movie with Eric Stoltz, tried to make it work, but had to admit the tone was wrong. They got Michael J. Fox to squeeze it into his schedule, re-shot almost everything and made an all-time classic. Not saying this will happen with Han Solo, but Lucasfilm/Disney has the money to reshoot the whole damn thing if that's what it takes. Plus, they can always push back the release date to December.

[@alexhayden219]

That's true. Got rid of the directors, now just scrap it all and start over with Ansel Elgort in the lead.

[@davyjones-locker979]

Harloff is right, many of us would not be too bothered if they pulled the plug on the Han movie as many of us did not really see any point in this film anyway. It boggles the mind as to some of the choices which Lucasfilm are making. They should have come with an Obi Wan film as the second standalone film, and then an Old Republic trilogy.

[@davyjones-locker979]

Another decision by Lucasfilm which really boggles the mind is the stance on Anthony Ingruber. I would have much preferred to have seen Ingruber for this role, and I am sure that he would not have needed an acting coach.

[@ttandc]

They've probably spent too much money now to cancel it.

[@loyalcompanion2104]

You folks dont like the idea of an established character having their own solo movie, yet you crave for an Obi Wan movie. Makes no sense.

[@MUFCLEGEND123]

The unknown trooper Because Ewan McGregor is Obi Wan, and because it's not an Origin story, people want to see more of Ewan as Obi Wan and see what happened during the 19 years, nobody wants a Han Solo origin story without Harrison Ford

[@jamesparker5]

Love having Perri on the Council! I'm into everything Star Wars but just can't seem to get excited about Han Solo... and all the issues aren't helping me change that opinion!

[@TheIslingtongirl]

I'm with Perri and I want the Han Solo movie to be great too, but it's starting to look like a raging dumpster fire...I do also totally agree with what several council members have said that these spin-offs would be much better as fresh original stories, or at least like Rogue One did with an all new cast of characters. We don't need to rehash stuff.

[@radiantprime8336]

I think this may be my favorite council in a while. I love Ash so much. She's awesome. Perri's always great. And I think Yodi and Kristian bounce off of each other really well. Good work, guys.

[@noumenon3020]

All controversy aside, we have to admit it's appropriate that Disney and Lucasfilm ended up going for... ...a Solo director. (Yeah, 2017 jokes write themselves.)

[@agustinorero1668]

I miss Ken. He's the ultimate Star Wars fan and always brings something new to the Council.

[@heinz55]

"it would be okay if they cancelled it" is Harloff fanning the flames for the star wars fans on the ledge because he's also on the ledge lol

[@Dave4493]

We need a Nute Gunray standalone film

[@Afineaddition]

THIS IS IMPOSSIBLEEE

[@almondpoet1700]

CAN WE HAVE TWO OF THEM?

[@zaza1880]

actually, being serious, he is a good character ( my opinion ), and we still don't know much about the separatist crisis in CANON, however i think a nute gunray standalone movie would be odd, but you gotta admit that a trade federation and a separatist alliance movie would be fricking awesome, i mean, who doesn't want to know the origins of the separatists.

[@michaelnelthorpe1825]

This is my favourite show on any media channel. You guys are the best

[@jeffnicholas6342]

I think Harloff is right about the Han Solo acting coach. As a walk-on director, Ron Howard has to take on a large amount of duties to bring this picture together--a major aspect of that role is taking care of ones actors. I assume Howard has worked with this coach before and it'll be evident in the final product. fingers crossed

[@DavidJordao]

I would love to be on the set of Han Solo, just to document all the drama...

[@seangallagher4610]

David Jordao They should make a movie about them making the movie.

[@ElanneHarvelle]

so glad Ash is back! she is awesome!

[@stickygum91]

Thanks for answering my question! -Chris

[@LinkHimora]

Dying of a Broken heart *IS a real thing!* It's proper medical term is Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. It's brought along by stressful situations like the death of a loved one. I think that with all of the Stress of how much Padme was in during the Clone Wars plus all of of the deaths of friends and her pregnancy the Final nail in the coffin was Anakin choking her and his metaphorical death via turning to the Darkside. Also we need remember in the original draft for Episode 3 she was going to try and kill Anakin herself (theres consept art of her holding a knife and even the possibility that that might have been in the back of her head must of added a *TON* of Stress.

[@popey129]

I sense a disturbance in the force.

[@REVAN2338]

Its quite possible the acting coach being brought on, sparked Alden's concern with Lord&Miller causing that cut to be made which so concerned Kathleen Kennedy. Who knows what the timeline of events truly is.

[@NateHarrisMusic]

There's that giant BB-8 from old video game @ 39:46

[@7986bigd]

51:36 Didn't Pablo Hildago confirm that Rey and Kylo/Ben never met before Force Awakens? Good theory though

[@bryanoneill4834]

Damn was hoping Janina Gavankar from Battlefront was gonna be on

[@martinjrgensen8234]

Bryan O'Neill I hope they figure it out, so she can be on later.

[@KinkySphincter]

Bryan O'Neill he said they are gonna be in next week, I does sound like he said they won't

[@bryanoneill4834]

89tripl34trouble28 I wrote the comment after the panel introduction and Kristian said towards the end she'll be on next week. All is well in the State of Collider

[@rameo89]

Great show guys, yall are amazing! Thanks Cody and Adam.

[@NoThankYouToo]

They're going to steer straight into Han Solo at D23. It won't necessarily be front and center; that's Ep. 8, but they're not going to run from it either. Whatever we think of what's happened/happening, we can't forget the people helming this ship are perennial Hollywood legends who haven't had a lull in 40+ years in the Industry, and it "ain't no accident." This Sh*t Storm is in the best possible hands.

[@09zanicge5]

One of the best shows on Collider

[@Jaycy845]

Star Wars fans: we don't really want a Han Solo movie Star Wars reps: so we're making a Han Solo movie.

[@ZVPieGuy]

Jay reyes I'm afraid they will do the same with Boba Fett.

[@Jaycy845]

Ken Bone I'd rather have a boba fett movie honestly. He's more undefined and his legendary actor isn't being replaced.

[@camoclone1133]

Jay reyes I

[@Jaycy845]

Brick Age Studios most people I've seen in comments and on twitter (atleast for me) have complained about the existence of this movie from the beginning.

[@Nathan-tz5fr]

I wanted a Han Solo film. I feel like there's allot of potential for a great space western with this premise.

[@thedude1034]

#hairupPerri

[@mpg3946]

I agree with Kristian. Scrapping the movie doesn't sound like a terrible idea right now.

[@olivertaylor8862]

Episode 9 for December 2019! Let's keep the tradition for the new trilogy!

[@willcorker763]

everyone crying about how we don't need or want a Han Solo movie are gonna be the first people seeing it. they're just complaining to complain. movie will be better than 67% of prequels and ROTJ

[@rump438]

when are you all gonna realize Disney isn't going to scrap a star wars film lmao.

[@ZVPieGuy]

Ryan Meaker +

[@MaxChikara]

Ryan Meaker boba fett film with josh trank 🐸☕️ but yes I agree from now nothing will be cancelled

[@newt2942]

Sling TV + Kids package for Disney XD is $25/month. A good cable alternative and you could watch Rebels as they are aired or on demand.

[@raymondleggs5508]

They already have the script and they start effects in Pre-production and they still have the sets so it won't take THAT long to reshoot or finish everything!

[@herooflight7931]

may the force be with you Mark Reily

[@chunkybadger3898]

I just want a clone wars era movie (towards the start and near/end of the war) with a Jedi we don't know or barely know (like Eeth Koth or some new Jedi) with a group of clones voiced by Dee Bradley Baker and with Temuera morrison as the clones face/body (each with their own personalized look). They would develop a close bond with one another and be sent into some of the most dangerous and deadly missions during the war. As each battle goes on fewer of the squad remains and new clones fill the gap showing how expendable they truly are. Also having the clones be in actual armor. I want it to show how the clone wars was from the clones perspective not the Jedi's.

[@gnil2000]

I want this film to be good I am so hoping it is. but my guess is based on what has happened this needs a lot of work. it is still hard to get a clear picture of what happened. but as something must have gone so wrong they need to push it back do what it takes to get this back on track.

[@JulesGunn]

Maybe this is karma for refusing to make an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie which is what people really wanna see.

[@TheComicCoalition]

karma is a bitch lol

[@thebacons5943]

Genuinely don't understand being this mad that *you are getting a Star Wars movie*. If it sucks that's one thing, but save judgment for the film. If it ruins the character, then freak out. It's one thing to be nervous, but people calling for it to be canceled/wishing we would get something else (when we can still get that thing later) I just can't understand Don't take it personally but we are a spoiled fan base and we have to get a grip as a fans

[@ronburrelljr7077]

The Bacons exactly

[@pietropietro5466]

I know a lot of people think this film should be cancelled, however, despite the shock from the news of miller and lord being fired, I really hope this will turn out to be a great movie, I think Howard is the right man and I think they have all the time they need to create something really good

[@gokinsmen]

48:01 Jon Favreau would be a fantastic pick for an Obi-Wan film. In addition to his directorial efforts, during his screenwriting days, he wrote a great, gritty Western called "The Marshal of Revelation." He's the perfect choice.

[@ttandc]

I hope they push the Solo release date to December next year. Gives them plenty of time to fix things and most people are used to December releases for Star Wars now.

[@gokinsmen]

They could switch places with Mary Poppins Returns, which started filming back in February. Being a musical, I doubt it needs 1.5 years of post-production. Beauty & The Beast made over $1.2B and it opened in March.

[@ttandc]

Exactly. I'm sure they could just bring Poppins forward a bit into November so the 2 movies don't effect each other. If I was in charge of Disney I would be asking which is going to make more money. A sequel to Mary Poppins or a Star Wars movie? Sounds like a no brainer to me.

[@aarontrainor9918]

ttandc Disney needs to Switch with Poppins

[@ttandc]

Agree ;)

[@ryanaumann]

I think Alden's gonna crush it. The Rock says, "It doesn't matter!"

[@jaredbennett7677]

I like the theory of Palpatine actually killing Padme, but that those who were wathching from the outside didnt know why she died, and chalked it up to dying of a broken heart for losing the will to live, i like that :)

[@briangorman1079]

i effing love this panel

[@projectmaldives]

Love all the Jedi Council but especially love Ash. And I love Han Solo. It'll be a great movie....

[@seekingoutfriday]

I'm going with Twilight Zone as the worst production ever

[@Darksmirk1]

Lindsey Smart, Well a few major deaths on set and court drama after was a big problem. People still think Spielberg directed ( Kick The can ) After all that drama some directors backed away. Or in the least he stepped in.

[@gweuy467]

# collider SHOULD THEY have harisson ford advise and be onset and direct?

[@frostcloud18]

i think the difference between the last jedi and the Han Solo movie is that lord and miller didn't help write The Han Solo movie and they usually write their stuff or have a major hand in the story, where ryan johnson helped write The Last Jedi

[@YogGroove]

Han Solo Film : Would that it were so simple.

[@XxMitoManxX09]

I like having Ashley she is great and knows her Star Wars real well

[@leonardoaceves6207]

I don't care what anyone says, I'm still looking forward to this movie. They would not be making this if there wasn't a story to tell (or toys to sell). At the very least it'll be fun.

[@mathsalot8099]

as far as the question of Lea remembering her mother, i always thought she was talking about Bale Organa's wife, not padme. at that time in Jedi, Lea didn't know she was Anikan and Padme's daughter. She still thought she was Bale Organa's daughter, so talking about vaguely remembering her mother being beautiful and sad was a memory of her adopted mom. why would it be anything else?

[@diamondrattler7453]

Carrie Fisher's mother lost the will to live. I love the story of dying of a broken heart. What's more powerful than love?

[@TrajGreekFire]

a shotgun

[@kimr2062]

Diamond Rattler Debbie Reynolds was elderly and in poor health and had lost her child. Padme was young, healthy and had two babies to live for. They could have made her die of complications during childbirth or because she had little strength after being choked by her husband...

[@TheLAJGamerHD]

Actually she died from a stroke

[@flower1202]

Also QB Doug Flutie...back in 2015 his dad died from a heart attack....less than an hour later his mom had a heart attack and passed away as well. although they both were in their 70s I do believe you can died from a broken heart.

[@ryanpatrick1875]

Wizard of Oz was basically directed by a committee. Gone With the Wind had director changes as well.

[@thedashboard9562]

10:11 - I agree with Kristian. Lucasfilm has put too much into the Han Solo movie to scrap it now, but I wouldn't mind it if they did. He's a character that I didn't/don't need an origin story for. Give me an Obi-Wan movie, or something having to do with the Jedi after the purge. I want something more original from a Star Wars spin-off. 38:02 - I've learned to just steer clear of the comments section of any video about a popular nerd franchise that's chosen to put some focus on women. It keeps me sane and keeps my cynicism towards the human race from reaching critical levels. With *The Forces of Destiny* trailer, I clicked on it, watched it, "liked" it, and continued on my merry way. 40:03 - Sounds interesting, but how would the Empire even keep track of something like that? How are they gonna know if someone is from Alderaan or not? Do they have a complete list of the planet's population? Even if they did, how would you even find the scant amount that escaped the planet's destruction in an entire galaxy? Why would it even matter?

[@watsnit]

I feel Jody some times goes with the flow in the conversations but when he gets passionate with a topic like star wars he gives good imput.

[@mghtdelete]

ooh just in time for a new episode

[@othersideproductions2776]

Marvel Infinity War -Vs Han Solo in May looked like a bad idea anyway.

[@devilknight2099]

push it to December so episode 9 can be pushed to December because Avengers infinity war will come out in may which will affect episode 9!!!

[@milespardoe5145]

DANK VADER more like IX will affect IW

[@ZVPieGuy]

DANK VADER +

[@devilknight2099]

im so hype for for homecoming btw

[@BrandonGries]

DANK VADER Infinity War will have no effect on Ep. IX, Infinity War comes out May 2018, Ep. IX comes out May 2019, nearly a year apart

[@viceng7153]

Brandon Gries he means the 4th avengers movie that is scheduled for may 2019 about 3 weeks before ep IX

[@P.E.NumberOne]

The difference between Kathleen Kennedy and Kevin Feige, is that (correct me if I'm wrong), Kevin Feige, as the head of Marvel Studios, knows the lore of Marvel properties, as well as being a film producer, so the films benefit for being authentic Marvel characters. Kathleen Kennedy is just a head of a film studio. That isn't enough to helm a cinematic universe. Dave Feloni or even Pablo Hildago are closer to a Kevin Feige than Kathleen Kennedy. I don't blame her for the mess behind Han Solo. After all, it's Lawrence Kasdan that highly recommended Lord and Miller.

[@badkarma52]

I want the Russo Brothers to direct an Old Republic trilogy.

[@winsronshelley8170]

that fan art in the back is great

[@ZachBobBob]

Even though I never wanted this Han Solo movie, I'd be really upset if it got cancelled. I really like the cast. And hey if it turns out bad we can just ignore it.

[@95InTheShade]

It will probably cost them a lot of money to push it back to December. I'd bet that they'll stick to the May release date even if the quality drops.

[@othersideproductions2776]

Can't wait to see the Han Solo movie! I just hope Jabba is in it.

[@Sam-jx8tv]

Anyone else still love the Force Awakens?

[@MrLebowski1980]

Yoda Not me.

[@TheLAJGamerHD]

Nope

[@MrLebowski1980]

TheKnightBlade4 It has nothing to do with"darker",and if you're listing flaws,the force awakens has so many it exhausts me to even think of them,not least of all how incredibly derivative it is.You are not a man child?,why are you watching a Star Wars show and getting ridiculously triggered about our opinion of the force awakens.

[@benpalmieri6409]

I do. A lot more than Rogue One

[@swanny6517]

Ive noticed a lot of the people (not all) who made it cool to hate on ep 7, are also prequel lovers. Which i just find hilarious.

[@jasonforbes3698]

My fear is that they need to reshoot 90% of the film and when it's eventually released, it'll look like a rushed mess. Rogue One was SO good in terms of kicking off the standalone films but if Han Solo is bad, it'll derail things completely.

[@TheMentorKing]

Han Solo better come out in May 2018 so we can just get this movie over with.

[@tazzmission1325]

im still interested but if they have to push it till december next year do it. i am actually intrigued with ron howard at the helm

[@jaredbennett7677]

So, Kristian, you keep saying that we know for sure that Kylo wasnt bad 6 years before TFA because of Bloodline, but truely, we done have confirmation of that. Leia thinks he is still with Luke and on the good side, but she mentions that she hasnt really seen him for a while. You may be actually correct, but it would be possible to say that he had gone to the dark side some time before bloodline, but Luke hadn't told her, and she hadnt found out otherwise. I really think that is a possibility, and would kinda like that reversal from what we think at this point.

[@NoThankYouToo]

I don't think Perri realizes just how gorgeous she is. What a beautiful young woman; and all that nerd knowledge. Oy!!

[@LadyLarani]

It's my feeling that the acting coach was needed as a mediator between actor and director more than to help with just acting if the report was true that Alden went to Kennedy. Sounds like an argument/something happened between actor and director & the dialogue broke down late in the game. How can you direct someone who no longer agrees or respects your vision, whether rightly so or not.

[@dirufanboy1971]

I always assumed that Leia was talking about her adopted mother, Bail Organa's wife (who obviously died while Leia was still young) and not Padme. That made sense to me and I have pretty much assumed that was who Leia was talking about basically since 1983 - I can't be the only fan to have thought that, surely?

[@alexhayden219]

Kathleen Kennedy is the Kevin Feige of Star Wars, but I think where the question comes up is because there seems to be only one person in Hollywood right now that has a vision for where his properties are going forward, and has built a team of trust that seemingly rarely has problems internally, and that's Kevin Feige. Edgar Wright was an exception, but it was taken care of before the movie got made, not after. DC looks like they're hopefully in the beginning stages of turning things around. Star Wars under Kennedy, at this point, is making A LOT less movies than Marvel is under Feige, but Feige/Marvel have always seemed to navigate it all generally smoothly, while it seems like most of the movies being made under Kennedy go through serious problems, and it doesn't sound like Kennedy/Lucasfilm has a clear direction that they want to go with things. I don't love everything Filoni does, but he's a storyteller and a planner and a showman. I don't see Kennedy as any of those things. Filoni would probably be the better choice for architect of the franchise and I'd rather he be the Feige of Star Wars instead of Kennedy and instead of him directing a movie.

[@rextiumalu141]

[@jcdemp7513]

I see a lot of comments about not wanting or needing the Han movie. It's not about wanting or needing a movie. It's about the Star Wars brand. Money. People are going to go out and watch a Star Wars movie. They are going to save this movie to make their money back and more.

[@zoltanz288]

Getting a acting couch isnt so bad. It could mean the actor wants to give the best performance possible, wants to improve. Nothing wrong with that.

It's okay Perri, I used to get mad at assholes in comment sections but now I just feel sorry for them.

[@sanwalyousaf]

so if kylo was 23 when he was still good and rey was hidden away at jakkuu when she seems to have been under 10 and she is about the age luke was at the beginning of star wars which was about 18 or 19, the timeline don't make sense. That means that ben turned about 8 or so years ago, but we know he didn't until at least 6 years before tfa. So is it possible that rey was hidden before Luke's temple was destroyed. Could it be that Rey was hidden to be kept away from snoke or someone who was powerful in the dark side and wanted rey to either train or hurt her

[@iamgroot2654]

[@thej.c.8549]

As far as D23 goes...I've got a Rebels itch that needs a good scratch.

[@ttandc]

I think the biggest problem the Solo movie has is that it runs a REAL risk of ruining ( arguably ) the best character in the entire Star Wars franchise. Many would rather Disney not take that risk.

[@stevenmabee3232]

Perri Nemiroff is so cute! :)

[@Starrapter]

Can you guys review the comics again? Great job as always!

[@jasonwebster9300]

Alarm bells should have sounded when the cast was announced, let alone the first meeting between the directors, producers and the cast. Anthony Ingruber should have been given the role of Han and Ron Howard should have been the choice as the director. With Howard at the helm they would have the necessary tools to help Ingruber knock it out of the park. If only they had just given him a chance. It is the role he was born to play. I hope if there is a Blade Runner prequel he be given the part of Rick Deckard. Or have him as Indiana Jones in flashback scene in the next Indiana Jones film. You could have Indy reminisce over a past adventure as the flashback plays as he decides whether to take on a search for a discovery of archaeological significance. Sought of like the scene in at the beginning of the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). Or even have him as Indiana Jones in a prequel. I like Chris Pratt, but I rather have him in Jurassic World and Guardians of Galaxy sequels. Come to think of it, I would love to Pratt as Thomas S. Magnum in a Magnum, P.I movie.

[@Robin50572]

It seems like the Episodes are easier for them to make. I see episode 10 coming 3 years after 9.

[@hardpunkkore9235]

I can't wait for Visceral Star Wars! As long as EA doesn't step in and force the development team to change their vision or the story of this game, it should be great and full of detail, just like Dead Space 1 and 2. Amy Hennig did work on the Uncharted Series, which all the games were great, but the best ones were the ones were either written or lead by Neil Druckmann. Also He was developing Last of Us while Hennig was building Uncharted 3 and as good as U3 was Druckmann's U2 and LoU were way better! And U4 was all Druckmann, Hennig left Naughty Dog to replace Glen Scoflield at Visceral when he opened his own development company. If this means we are going to get a game in the Star Wars world in the vein of Uncharted, Visceral, take all of my money please...

[@Dousch]

I dreamt I was in the theatre watching The Last Jedi. Leia had a death scene and I woke up to an earth shattering rainstorm.

[@themeparkgamer4111]

I'm so Glad these guys know Uncharted is good

[@Petesmotoadventure]

It's a movie Star Wars didn't need. Han Solo was an established character and going back to make a "young" prequel movie the territory is murky. What do we need to know about the character?
