I want all of those except Han. I dont need to know his backstory. He's cool AF regardless.

But, yes, more star wars. I hope this movie turns out great because I need more Star Wars to put on at the end of the day.

Honestly, I hope this movie ISNT a backstory as much as a "Wacky Adventures of Han SoloAce Ventura" type thing.

You and (especially) LV have a director's bias. And there's nothing wrong with that. I can totally understand why you're taking the position you're taking here. I have a writer's bias, admittedly. So, of course, I'm going to side more with Disney here. Because as much as I want a director to have a vision and to be able to exercise their creativity on a project, I also believe that film is collaborative. And the writer's work is important, too. Especially on a project like this. These are established characters in some established worlds. It's far more important to be true to the characters here. To listen to them and let them dictate. To me, that's far more important than whatever wack-a-do concept Lord and Miller may have had. They agreed to join a project that already has established mythology and tradition. I'm fine with expanding that mythology and changing the rules of that tradition but it can't be done in a vacuum.

I'd be on L&M's side if this was their own original concept. In that case, absolutely! Let them have complete control. Let them piss their vision all over everything and everyone; mark their territory and demand obedience. This is different.

If Lord and Miller want to make a gonzo slapstick space comedy, then good on them. They should go make that movie. And if/when they do, they should have complete creative control and freedom.

Im all for them to make a star wars movie about a new character or new world within Star Wars. But yes, rearranging a character to fit their mold (which i have a feeling is a very one dimensional approach to story telling) then i say GTFO.

Exactly.

If no bridges were actually burned on either side, I'd love to see Lord and Miller come back some day and tell their version of a Star Wars story that involves new characters, characters they get to help create and design and takes place in a time/place/land that's fresh and calling for exploration.
