Alden as Han Solo. After seeing this full trailer, the jury is still out on Alden as Solo...BUT I didn't cringe seeing him like I did in the teaser. More importantly - after getting a bit more on what the movie looks like, I don't think it's success hinges as much on Alden as I originally thought. This looks like a full ensemble fun heist film which happens to be set in the SW universe and happens to have Solo in it.

And that is the direction I hop they start going in these one off SW Story films - ensemble driven, genre movies that happen to be set in the SW universe. It worked for Rogue One. Looks like there's elements of that in Solo. I just want less of a connection to beloved characters so we aren't getting origin stories left and right.
