We already have a great Han Solo movies. Why waste our time watching another nostalgia piggyback movie?
Because money
That explains the studios. What about the viewers?
The viewers haven't paid for tickets yet, and I'm not convinced they will. If the Star Wars franchise is ever going to produce a financial disappointment, a movie about Han Solo with no Harrison Ford will be it.
Gotta agree, this is going to be a terrible movie.
Oh, I hope it's good, and there's a small possibility it will be! Ron Howard has made some good movies in his day, I do hope he returns to form, but I can't say the odds are in his favor.
