    Sitting at Texas Scottish Rites. These people could give Starbucks a lesson in perky. Fantastic work.

    A buddy of mine at MPD is saying this could have been way worse than it turned out to be. Homeboy was in it to win it. He shot a guard, then an MPD officer, took the officer's M4 and went to town before Park Police SWAT smoked him.

    Won gunfights against two LEOs and was smart enough to upgrade guns in the process.

    Edit: I want to see how the anti-gun crowd spins this since DC has a ban on firearms and the long gun was owned by PD.

    Jesus Motherfucking Christ. The two things that really killed the level of humour in board members here was the gun discussion and the discussion of the word "privilege".

    Know what's a sign of being too dedicated to a cause? When you're willing to be boring and unfunny in support of it.

    I hope this isn't true:
    It just sounds stupid. I don't want a frickin CGI Han, that is creepy as hell.

    Agreed. If there had to be a younger Han Solo, who would you pick? Now *there* is a question. Yikes. If I was picking a new Han Solo (not a younger one, I have little knowledge of younger actors), I'd probably pick Michael Weatherly - good looking like Harrison Ford, very similar build and height (Weatherly is apparently an inch taller) and not a superstar, which I think would be important, since Harrison Ford was also an unknown before Star Wars. I think he could be an excellent Solo. Thoughts?

    A stand alone Han movie is going to be Han smuggling something dangerous for Jabba and dodging Star Destroyers and some cool sort of Imperial cop/villain that chases Han around in the Falcon as he makes the Kessel run. Sounds great, right? Wrong. It's a two hour pod race/cash grab and we've already suffered through one of those.

    Fassbender. But to be honest he's my answer to who should be cast in any role

    For the very same reason, I'd go with Dwayne Johnson. They could have an entire side story to having the Polynesian bled out of him.

    I actually think he would work. I think Fassbender looks pretty close to a skinny Han Solo as we're going to get. The concern would be if he can pull off the humor, he always looks a little too serious and cold. Let's not act like Harrison Ford (or anyone in that movie) really had to act their ass off. It was solid writing, awesome VFX, and a lot of newness.

    He's 45, not exactly a younger version.

    Let me put in a vote for Hayden Christensen. He has the emotional ability and wide range to KILL IT in a Star Wars type role. Am I right?

    When has ANYBODY but Harrison killed it in a Star Wars movie? I like the original trilogy, but there is a reason why only Ford became a star: the acting was amateur night.

    The prequels don't exist. They are inferior in every way and to boot have Jar-jar Binks the intergalactic Stepin Fetchit. Darth Maul was the only cool thing about them.

    Hey Mark Hamill was very underrated and went on to have a stellar career in other roles...
