Morning people,
I'm having some thoughts about the forthcoming TV show (a project that, of course, I should be writing, but that's Hollywood I guess. Well, actually, it's Flannelwood, but you know what I mean...)
There are accepted parts of Star Wars lore that have been turned over by the prequels. Ben and Owen being brothers, the back history of Boba Fett, Yoda training Ben, etc.
I am very curious to see what Lucas does with the youth of Han Solo. As it stands he was born on Correllia, was a hot swoop racer, joined the Imperial Accademy, freed Chewie from slavery, was discharged, won the Falcon from Lando and became a smuggler.
But does anyone else think that's how it will go down on TV? We already know that Lucas approved a raggedy, scraggy kid Solo for a scene in ROTS before (having the good sense) not shooting it.
Perhaps even more than the age-old "Greedo shot first" arguement (don't get me started!) that would change the `tone' of Solo's character.
Any thoughts?
