Any idea what story you want to tell with him? I particularly intrigued by how he loves to hunt and skin Wookies but also unknowingly helped free Wookie slaves. That's a cool aspect to put in the movie. Also, we should remove the Bounty Hunters Guild. That's fucking stupid.

Is this going to take place before/after/during Empire and the hunt for Han Solo?
No idea. But we need to explore his associations with Greedo, so probably before.
:nice:

Also, how do you feel about keeping Boba Fett on the periphery as much as possible? I mean, he has to be there given their friendship/rivalry. But I feel like Fett works best when you don't see too much of him. Keep some mystery, y'know?

Star Trek (2009) is such a great movie. I could literally watch it ever day of my life.

There's enough of a connection, especially in the context of the conversation, no?

Other than the new scenes, I think this was a more heavy handed introduction to the movie and universe. I liked the previous trailer more.
Me too. But I only have phone access right now.

Skipped the last few pages of this thread. I'm not a Star Wars fanboy by any means. I love the original trilogy, but have never dived into the universe further than that (I've seen the prequels, obviously). This trailer though got me really, really excited. I felt it, it moved.
