Fans Outraged Over Young Han Solo Film Shortlist
After the shortlist (and the tall-list) for who will play young Han Solo was released yesterday, nerds across the galaxy cried out in horror. The list included Miles Teller, Dave Franco and Blake Jenner — “actors” which most fans believe could never portray a young Harrison Ford. It’s also worth mentioning that fan-favorite Harrison Ford impressionist, Anthony Ingruber is conspicuously absent from this list despite having portrayed a young version of Ford’s character in the film Age of Adaline! Well, Han Solo fanboys and girls, we’ve got some much needed good news! After the jump see what Disney and Lucasfilm is doing to make up for their mishandling of the young Han Solo film. A FakingStarWars exclusive!
Lucasfilm president, Kathleen Kennedy has come forward after yesterday’s leak to announce the official casting of Kessel Run: A Star Wars Story.
We hear your cries and I have stepped in, after all pleasing the fans is what we are about! Every person that you read about is now off the table and we are going with Harrison Ford instead who will be reprising his role as Han Solo. We will be using “de-aging” technology, as seen in Disney’s Tron: Legacy and Marvel’s Ant-Man. But this will only happen if you sign the online petition which we will provide a link to. Show us you really want this to happen and we will make it happen!
So it seems Disney is finally listening to the fans! The fact that Harrison Ford will reprise the role using “de-aging” CGI like they used on Michael Douglas and Jeff Bridges previously is a great announcement! But before Kathleen came forward with this great news Harrison Ford weighed in on the matter.
Are you kidding me? I will pay money out of his my own pocket if Kat doesn’t go with any of the guys on that damn list! I’ll even wear that stupid “fountain of youth” head gear and play Han again as long as none of those moofmilkers ruin MY character!
So there you have it! Harrison is willing to perform Han again and Kathy will make it happen if you sign the petition HERE ! Make your voice heard Star Wars fans or we will get stuck with this fatty as Han Solo.
