Chad J. Shonk and Needless Things’ Head of Research Ryan Schweck
join Dave to discuss the newest Star Wars film!
Initial trailers for Solo: A Star Wars Story were met with mixed responses from fans. Already wary of prequels, many wondered if a Han Solo origin story was necessary. Others took issue with the casting of Alden Ehrenreich as the young smuggler.
Beyond
all of that, the production itself was fraught with drama. Lucasfilm
– who seem to have a very clear vision for certain aspects of their
beloved and profitable franchise – fired original directors Phil
Lord and Chris Miller, replacing them with reliable Oscar-winner Ron
Howard.
Whatever
the case, this was a new Star Wars movie and theaters were going to
packed with those curious to see this new vision of an old story.
Listen
in as Dave, Ryan, and Chad analyze this adventure from a slightly
longer time ago and a galaxy far, far away!
