Harrison, being an A-lister and Hollywood Royalty, should have made Crystal Skull tolerable. I just hope he shows that Han Solo charm in the new Star Wars. Not the curmudgeon of Skulls.

Sorry but nothing could have saved that film.

If you can forgive Harry's attempts at a Russian accent, K-19 The Widowmaker was a good film, though historically inaccurate.

I was actually thinking about that. Having Han Solo and Qui Gon Jinn in the same film was pretty mind-blowing for the time.

Especially considering that neither character is actually in the film.

That is pretty neat. Very well paced, and Inception horns to boot.

Too many lightsabers though. Loses the effect when errybody be wielding two double-bladed at a time.

I loved it too, but you are completely right it suffers from one of the same problems that the prequels did. Too many Jedi. One of the reasons the old trilogy worked so well was that being a Jedi felt special. You lose that when everyone on screen flips one out.

In case you guys didn't know, he just spliced together a bunch of footage from various Star Wars video games. I didn't notice anything original. Still, it was a great fan created trailer.

One of the reason's I would love to see a young Han Solo film is that it would be an opportunity to explore the universe outside of the Jedi. There is a lot more to Star Wars then that and sometimes it feels like everything gets too focused on them.
