mstrox 6,651 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'm totally onboard with the Bond casting. Elba's a little old for 20-year-old Harrison Ford, but maybe he can play Solo in the spin-offs set in the period between ROTJ and TFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 The name Ob-Wan would suggest a more Asian heritage though. I certainly hope Disney will correct the obvious white-washing of this franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeallen01 2,136 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Anthony Ingruber is the only logical choice. I see no other working. An actor that gives a good performance isn't enough, as Ford is so engrained in our minds that we will be unable to see Solo in someone doing just a good performance. We need someone who both looks and sounds like him, as well as a good performance. Also anyone that is famous is automatically prejudged, and he is unknown and proven to work already with Age of Adaline. The only argument I hear against him is his lack of experience, yet Daisy Ridley carried what is a much bigger film than a Han Solo spin-off, and she had zero films to her name and barely a few guest spots on tiny tv shows. And she absolutely nailed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 So you want an actor who has an enormous amount of screen presence to be succeeded by someone who can knock out a few solid impersonations on YouTube? I couldn't tell you who could step into Fords shoes, but certainly not am impersonator! Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbellamy 6,287 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I would be worried if I was him about not being able to have any kind of career after doing it. Especially if it's not an especially great performance. Someone who only passingly looked like a young Ford could turn it into a star-making role, but Ingruber will probably be looked at as "that kid who just looks like Harrison Ford". That list is not very inspiring, though. I hope it's not Ansel Elgort...can't decide if his performance or his promotional interviews would be worse. "If you can find a girl who you can go to an EDM concert with, have a conversation with, who will sit on the couch and watch you play GTA for three hours—and then you go to bed and have amazing sex? That should be your girlfriend." Barf. Jack Reynor is pretty much a secondhand Chris Pratt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't tell you who could step into Fords shoes, but certainly not am impersonator! Not one young actor working today has the screen presence of Ford anyway, so what different does it make? Someone who can act well is not enough. No one will see Solo in them at all. We'll all just see another actor trying to be Ford and it'll be embarrassing and awkward. I can imagine just sitting there cringing at some bright-eyed youngster overacting by trying to be cocky etc. It just feels like a disaster waiting to happen. At least Ingruber is proven on film that he can nail Ford's look, style and class instantly in a very short scene. I'm not saying he could convince us performance wise over an entire film, but as I said, Ridley carried an entire film, so his inexperience doesn't matter.
