It’s time to talk about something Star Wars has been avoiding for some time: recasting its original trilogy characters. There have long been calls for the likes of Luke Skywalker to be portrayed by new actors (Sebastian Stan, anyone?) but it has, by and large, been something that the franchise hasn’t needed to properly confront – until now.

    I’ve been saying this for years. Let some young, promising actors take the characters and grow out from the original cast’s shadows.

    I do think it odd the author did not mention Alden Ehrenreich’s take on Han. He didn’t quite measure up to Harrison Ford, but that’s a tall task and I wouldn’t hate seeing him get another shot at the character.

      They tried to do this. That was the whole sequel trilogy. Except instead of growing the new cast they smashed everything that existed before and made everyone hate the entire series.

      Every time I go rewatch Solo I think man you know what, this IS Han Solo. Sure he has some shit lines and writing but that’s not the actors fault
