A Star Wars caper flick starring everyone’s favorite roguish smuggler and how he got into that life? There’s no reason why that shouldn’t work, and this trailer definitely looks like it should.

Recent Star Wars movies have a nasty habit of looking much better in the trailer. Hell, Rogue One even had stuff in the trailer that wasn't even in the movie! I think this movie will just be "meh" at best.
Star Wars/Hans Solo fan in the family already refuses to see it.
+Paul Scollon I've actually been pretty pleased by the recent Star Wars movies, so I don't see the problem here.
+Simon B I'm curious as to the thought process — is it something about what's described in the story, or something about the trailer, or an aversion to prequels, or dislike of recasting the role, or …?
Not rugged enough was one comment…
Generally no aversion to prequels etc…
My beef is rewriting backstories. Waving a magic wand and declaring all the books non-canon (they are now under a "Legends" imprint) was crazy. Why not use these these stories already embedded in the community? Surely the rights didn't cost that much. Hell , the authors would be delighted to see their stories on the big screen.
+Simon B Okay. Not sure I saw any lack of ruggedness, but we'll see.
+Paul Scollon As someone not at all vested in the EU, I can't say that Disney/Lucas' decision to toss out decades of non-movie fiction particularly upsetting (though I can understand why people feel that way). But, then, even as a long-time Marvel Comics reader, I have no problem with them telling their own stories with the MCU movies, either, if they are done well.
Based on the trailer, it looks like a lot of fun.
+Stan Pedzick Which is what I'd expect a Han Solo origin tale to be. I mean, yeah, there should be some poignant motivating moments, but Han's tale should be, overall, about bravado and derring-do and crook-with-a-heart-of-gold sorts of themes. Which this seems to be.
Dumping the EU stuff makes perfect sense for legal reasons alone. While the Rat bought Lucas out, they don’t own all that other stuff.
I personally really liked Rogue One. Force Awakens and Last Jedi were ok, but I wasn’t the massive SW fan in the family.
@Marc – At a guess, it’s simply not to their advantage to buy into the EU. The vast majority of people aren’t going to eschew a Star Wars movie because it doesn’t align with a twenty year old novel, even assuming they know such a thing exists. Even most SW trufen wouldn’t pass up buying a ticket, for all they would complain bitterly about it.
The entire original Thrawn trilogy by Timothy Zahn, one of the best-selling EU series, sold 15 million copies across all three books. Last Jedi alone has grossed, just in the US, $620 million. Assuming $15/ticket, that’s almost 45 million viewers. The book sales aren’t relevant to Disney/Lucas’ thinking, any more than the Avengers movies have to be in lockstep with the original comics (“How dare Ant-Man not be a founding member?!”).
