I'm torn about this..on one hand, awesome more star wars and I love Han..but on the other hand, I don't think I want to know why Han became a smuggler and a scoundrel.

They really need to cast Young Han right, whoever it's gonna be has big shoes to fill.
I'm hoping for Pratt, but that's probably not going to happen. They'll probably go for someone younger, maybe even a total unknown.
Well yeah obviously that's the hook but I kinda like Han being enigmatic. The minute they tried to give him a lot of depth, it neutered him

I agree with that. Han in RoTJ....just wasn't the same. I wasn't feeling him at all in that movie.

If they do get Pratt for Han .. who you think should play a young Lando ... you know we gotta get their history as well as Han winning the Falcon from Lando
And let me rephrase that: there's nothing wrong with depth but I don't need to know why. Obviously it depends on the execution. If you make him roughly the same guy but show how he got wrapped up in smuggling? Cool. But if it's something like he was this nice guy and then some inciting incident set him on this path to becoming this rouge, I feel like that hurts the character more than helps

They don't have to do a origin they easily make a movie about him obtaining the millennium falcon and other smuggler fukkery.
What are you talking about?

Read somewhere that YouTube is going to start live streaming panels next year for people who can't go since filming is prohibited

The city of San Diego is getting ready to kick off the year’s most high-profile geekfest this week when Comic-Con comes rolling into town. There has been a lot of news about what we won’tsee from some of the regular attendees this year. No new Star Wars trailer! No Game of Thrones creators! And, most shockingly, no Marvel at all! That’s right, the biggest player in all of popular geekdom won’t be hogging the spotlight in Hall H this year. But there will still beplenty of new footage, exciting casting announcements, and surprise appearances to whet the appetite of any geek-loving film or television fan. (Actually, given that “geek” is now unquestionably the mainstream, maybe it’s more accurate to say “any film or television fan.”) Here are some burning questions we hope to have answered this year in San Diego. Check back in to vanityfair.com throughout the week for up-to-the-minute coverage and behind-the-scenes looks at the biggest costume party of the year.
Who Will Be the Next Star Wars Director? Star Wars fans who are worried about openly weeping in public can breathe easy. Entertainment Weekly reports that Lucasfilm won’t be showing any new nostalgia-heavy trailers this year at Comic-Con. In fact, they won’t be showing any footage at all. But Lucasfilm has promised a few surprises and Entertainment Weekly reports that cast members who haven’t yet spoken publicly about their roles in the franchise may appear in Hall H. So, if luck, or the Force, is with us, representatives from the Dark Side like Domhnall Gleeson, Adam Driver, Lupita Nyong’o, and Gwendoline Christie could all be in attendance. This would also be a great venue for Lucasfilm presidentKathleen Kennedy to reveal who will be replacing Josh Trank as the director of the announced Boba Fett spin-off movie. The most intriguing front-runner? Former Wonder Woman director Michelle MacLaren has reportedly been in talks with Disney. That could mean they want her to direct a Marvel movie, or it could mean MacLaren will join Gareth Edwards, J.J. Abrams, and Rian Johnson in the Star Wars directors boys’ club.
Is Jon Snow Coming Back to Game of Thrones? O.K., this one might be a bit of a stretch, especially considering Kit Harington, D.B. Weiss,and David Benioff have all said they’re not attending Comic-Con this year. But with every cast-member interview, Harington sighting in Belfast, or obsessive report on the length of his hair, fans are becoming more convinced that the Lord Commander is not gone for good. In the Internet age of the overly invested fan, keeping a surprise that big under wraps until next season (or even the release of the next book) seems laughable. And wouldn’t the announcement of Snow’s return—possibly with a flash of footage of the Commander opening his eyes—make for one hell of a splash in Hall H? Harington and Jon Snow aside, the Game of Thronespresentation will, as it has in years past, likely feature a video announcing the new cast members for Season 6. Will characters like Randyll Tarly or Euron Greyjoy be enough to fill the hole Jon Snow left behind? Maybe not, but they’re welcome to try.
Will We Finally See Footage of The Hateful Eight? The short answer? Yes. Quentin Tarantino’s highly anticipated (and much beleaguered) western debuted some very well-received footage at Cine Gear Expo last month, but the general public has yet to see any footage in a trailer or even an official teaser. (Though, thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we have seen still images of the cast in costume.) People did go nuts for amysterious animated teaser that was posted earlier this year and then abruptly taken down. Imagine what they’ll do when they see the actual footage Tarantino is bringing to Comic-Con? Tarantino and some members of the all-star cast will be on hand to discuss the footage and the long road the film has taken from stolen-script scandal to splashy, Christmas 70-mm release. It’s no wonder Tarantino has been guarded about this project since the original script was leaked online, but with the premiere only six months away, it’s time to start laying those cards on the table.
What Will American Horror Story Be Like Without Jessica Lange? Many familiar faces are returning for American Horror Story’sfifth season, but FX’s anthology series will look quite different this year without its star Jessica Lange. Sadly, Lange’s platinum-blonde replacement, Lady Gaga, won’t be at Comic-Con, but creator Ryan Murphy and stars Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, and Matt Bomer will hopefully be able to fill in some of the mysterious details surrounding American Horror Story: Hotel and debut one of the show’s notoriously creepy teasers.
What Does Oscar Isaac Look Like as Apocalypse? After Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox has the biggest superhero slate at Comic-Con this year with X-Men: Apocalypse, Ryan Reynolds’s Deadpool, Channing Tatum’s Gambit, and the long-awaited Fantastic Four all on the horizon. Crowd favorite Deadpool could make some sort of appearance, but directorBryan Singer has specifically teased that he’ll be bringing new footage from X-Men: Apocalypse that could include our first look at Oscar Isaacas the hulking villain Apocalypse. With Marvel and Thanos skipping out this year, what better time for 20th Century Fox to reveal a huge purple baddie of their very own?
What Tricks Do the Hunger Games Rebels Have up Their Sleeves? Lionsgate has already premiered some very flashy, high-concept posters for the Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, indicating that this won’t be a straight-forward panel. Though Lionsgate has yet to confirm who will attend Comic-Con this year, we can imagine, given that this is Katniss’s last ride, that Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth will all be there. Knowing the very creative approach the marketing team took when promoting Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, it’s possible we could see some form of the rebellion storm the stage in Hall H. It’s not like Katniss to go out with a whimper.
Will Chris Pine Play Green Lantern? With Marvel taking the year off of Comic-Con, and Lucasfilm not debuting any new footage, the Warner Bros. panel is the biggest show in town. The centerpiece of the panel will beZack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice with stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, and Holly Hunter all attending. But since Warner Bros. first announced their hugely ambitious Justice League slate, DC comic fans have been wondering who will play the new version of Green Lantern. Though the first stand-alone Green Lantern movie won’t premiere until 2020 (at the earliest), he’s an integral part of the Justice League and will likely be seeded into earlier films in the franchise. Warner Bros. has already announced Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Ezra Miller as The Flash. All we need now is a Green Lantern and Shazam. Well, rumor has it Chris Pine—who was originally thought to be in talks to play Wonder Woman’s boyfriend Steve Trevor—has been offered the role. I mean, Marvel can’t keep all the charming actors named Chris to themselves, right? The only snag with this rumor is that many fans were hoping that instead of the Hal Jordan version of Green Lantern, they would be getting the John Stewart version that many younger fans grew up with on the Justice League cartoon. Stewart—not to be confused with The Daily Show host—would certainly be the more diverse choice. Well, fret not, fans, rumor has it Warner Bros. is actually looking to cast the roles of both Stewart and Jordan. That’s right, twoGreen Lanterns a.k.a. Green Lantern Corps. We certainly can’t accuse Warner Bros. of not going big.
Will We See Jared Leto’s Joker in Action? Unveiling two Green Lanterns would be enough to put the Warner Bros. panel on the map, but it seems unlikely they would let such a high-profile opportunity to debutJared Leto’s Joker pass them by. We’ve seen behind-the-scenes Suicide Squad glimpses and one possibly not-so-serious Twitter image, but we’ve yet to really see the Joker in all his glory. Leto could easily disrupt theBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice panel in character (just as Tom Hiddleston crashed the Marvel panel as Loki two years ago) or, given the Joker’s taste of mischief, we could even see him hijack some Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice footage with some video of his own. Either way, attendees of the Warner Bros. panel should be ready for Mr. J to appear at any moment.

I just have so much faith in Christopher Miller and Lord I'm not even sweating it. They're going to do it right.

at Z Nation getting a panel!
I really don't want to see any 'origin' style Star Wars movie. Han, Yoda, Lobot, whoever. Stuff like Rogue One is a lot more interesting than needlessly trying to explain why an awesome character is awesome
