He he...
I'm actually not without hope that there could be some good from it.
If whoever Disney decide to take on to handle the project, creatively, is someone who can make something more than just a visual extravaganza... and get back to the characters and human chemistry that the original trilogy had...
...well, the Han Solo storyline is interesting. Harrison Ford is a big part of making Han Solo work as a character, I feel. But... I've no doubt there are plenty of very talented young actors, relatively undiscovered, like Ford was when he landed the Solo role, who could make the character of young Solo their own.
Depp is too big for the part, in my opinion... and too old now. Although I'm sure he could probably pull it off if he did take the role... I guess.
River Phoenix was looking like making a good younger Indiana Jones I thought... but again, he'd be too old for the part now, if he hadn't sadly died so young himself.
It definitely needs some new blood. But not some Mickey Mouse Club graduate... let's get that straight right off the bat
Oh hang on... Ryan Gosling... er. There are exceptions to every rule perhaps?
