Interesting read. Most of these are too old IMO. Need a younger Han. If I was going older I would do Josh Holloway. Dave Franco is an interesting choice for a younger version. I think an unknown might be best though.

Josh Holloway would make a good Solo. He could basically play the same character he played on Lost.

Of those Joseph Gordon Levitt would be my pick. I also think Dave Franco could be good. Some of those look are older than Harrison was when he did Star Wars lol.

Yes, but IMO Han needs to be younger. His origin story is worth telling. Holloway would be older than Harrison was when they shot New Hope.

Cannot see Levitt as Han. Doesn't have the build, look or attitude. On another note, Tom Hardy would make a solid Boba Fett.

I wonder if they will go original stories with these two spin offs or cover an existing story. I would have to think Chewbaccas life debt to Han would have to be shown.

I've said it before I'm awful at casting. Chris Pine would have to be a no because of Star Trek.

Agreed he is too old.
I am trying to think of a young smug actor. Drawing a blank right now.

Wonder if they will show Bobas face or leave it a mystery.

Yea. They would show Han enlisting, and meeting Chewbacca. Could be really good if done properly. Garret Hedlund is another strong choice.

And I have no clue what they would do with Boba Fett. I haven't read any novels on him so his backstory is kind of a mystery to me apart from what is shown in prequels.

I wouldn't mind seeing Cillian Murphy playing a role as a villian. He's creepy as f*** in some of his roles.

He's an odd one in general. He may not do it just to not be too popular. He doesn't like being a movie star at all just acting.

Boba Fett has a great story. Mild spoiler below

He survives the Sarlac pit in Return of the Jedi. After that you see more of his home world of Mandalore.

They need to find a way to involve more Mandalorians if they are not going to do Old Republic.

Oh they do in the EU novels. Let's just say you might see the Mandos and Jedi team up.

I agree. There are so many awesome characters in Star Wars that each story doesn't have to be about a jedi imo.

I've heard he survived before but I don't know much of what happens to him after he gets out. Has he died in any novels yet? I'm assuming so since most of the characters from original trilogy are dead in the novels coming out now.

Oh okay. He would not be a bad choice.
It takes a high level of smugginess to pull of playing Solo.

Nope. Old as balls and straight mercing people. Not gonna go into specifics about what he's up to because I don't want to spoil anything. And most of the main characters are still alive as well.

Wookiepedia doesn't have Boba listed as dead Fwiw. I wonder if his story will be between 3-4 or 6-7
