That Han will be force ghosted or that it'll be the young Han?

Force ghost. He was never a Jedi, nor was he ever shown to have been strong in the Force. Stupid, stupid, stupid idea.

Oh c'mon! Did you see him dodge that shot by Greedo sitting 18 inches away? Navigate an asteroid field when the chances of success were 3,720 to 1? Kill the most elite bounty hunter in the universe without even the use of his eyes?

If Han's not a Jedi, no one is!

Greedo never got a fucking shot off. Han blasted him before he had a chance. Fact.

I've been so brainwashed by Lucas that I can't remember if he got a shot off or not.

So 9 will be shot on 65mm film.

Can someone explain what that means or why it matters please?

65mm film has seen a resurgence in recent years, as Christopher Nolan somewhat revived the format so that he could continue shooting his movies in IMAX while not going digital. Large swaths of Interstellar were shot on 65mm, and his upcoming World War II actioner Dunkirk was shot almost entirely in 65mm. This was also the format used by Paul Thomas Anderson for The Master and Quentin Tarantino for The Hateful Eight.

So what is 65mm film, exactly? Well the name refers to the width of the actual film cell, and shooting on 65mm film allows the filmmaker to capture a much larger frame with much higher quality. Images that may look a little grainy on 35mm will look pristine in 65mm.
