The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
This movie will be so much fun to watch, especially knowing that after this movie he goes on to fight a long pointless war that he loses, then get divorced from the love of his life and retreat back to a sad, lonely existence after he raises a genocidal maniac of a son who eventually murders him!

Yes, I'm really curious how this film looks.
Will young versions of Han and Lando work, especially when they are in the same scenes with Chewbacca?
This is possibly the riskiest SW movie in terms of how the fans will react. Monetarily, I'm sure Disney can handle a sub-300 million movie (domestic). I'm talking worst-case scenario here.
Solo is definitely the big gamble. They’ve been softening us up to this point. This will be the tell to see are we getting more standalones or not. It’s up against serious summer release competition too, but a few movie podcasts I listen to are predicting it will probably beat most of them. I’m not sure about that but if they manage to make a fun engaging adventure AND if Han is spot on, it’ll do well.
There’s so much riding on this first teaser/trailer. They’ve gotta show Han and we’ve gotta hear him speak. Hopefully giving a typically sardonic line or something. If it’s a great trailer it’ll finally get kick started and the gen pop will be interested.

I keep hearing that the Han kid can't act and I seriously can't tell if it's truth or just a play his character in Hail, Caesar.

He's funny in that movie, but he is playing a coen brother's character so I can't attest to his range or anything. What else has he done?
Lucasfilm/Disney is very careful about their casting, so I assume he wouldn't have gotten here if he can't act. The big rumor was that he was having trouble with improv, but that's a separate skill set

The phrase cash grab doesn't really mean anything. The fact that you're producing a product for money is behind all commercialized art (i.e. just about every movie you've ever seen and any music you've ever heard). Empire Strikes Back was a cash grab. If it's a good movie it was worth it. If it's a shit movie then it wasn't. Something can be initiated by a studio to make money and still be good.
