About the Show:

The Star Wars Show is hosted by Andi Gutierrez, who also does the Star Wars Rebels-cetric Rebels Recon YouTube series, and Peter Townley, who was found through local San Francisco auditions. “He is a genuine, legitimate, knowledgeable Star Wars fan,” Capoferri says. “Authenticity is right up there at the top of the list when it comes to the company and the show.”

The success of Star Wars: The Force Awakens proved that there’s nothing niche about Star Wars in pop culture anymore, but Capoferri admits that one of their biggest challenges in the seven-minute Star Wars Show episodes is making everybody happy and informed.

    Maybe they’ll finally give a title to the han solo film? seems too early, but I’m waiting for that afterall… also a picture of the actor with prostetics to resemble Han solo as much, or anything to convince us that they have that detail solved, would be appreciated

      No prosthetic – that really feels like it turns the thing into an exercise in cheap mimicry. It’s not going to look like HF anyways, so I’d rather not be constantly battling the feeling that they were trying to hard on the wrong aspects of this thing the whole time.

        When will some fans learn the difference between actors and characters?

      Kasdan already wrote the script before TFA yet they couldn’t come up with a title. Does the movie even have a direction or just a series of jokes and action sequences?

          I mean he should have came up with a title after the story was written, unless there’s no story.

            Oooooh… got it. Still, if they have a name for it they’ll wait at least till celebration to reveal it.

    Here’s my question: will the panel be live streamed?

    When he said what creature he fended off, I was thinking the Krayt Dragon. Ponda Baba’s an alien.

    Yeah because who else than guys who make comedy animation for kids would be best for directing the Han Solo spin off? We already know it will be humour à la Poe Dameron during the whole movie. What’s next, Paul Feg for the Bobba Fett movie?

      Actually Chris Miller and Phil Lord are an awesome team… everything they’ve done is solid… Yes they have made kids cartoons (Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Lego Movie) but they also made 21 Jump Street, which is actually a good movie! Lord and Miller have a way of taking things that are really shit ideas and turning them into gold. They also have some great TV shows under their belt, Last Man on Earth is an excellent dark comedy. They have one coming out called Making History that looks solid as well and another called Son of Zorn where they blend animation with live action. To be perfectly honest with you, the only thing that gives me hope for this Han Solo adventure is that it’s being made by Phil Lord and Chris Miller.

      Star Wars is for kids. These guys are a perfect choice. Sorry about that.

        Yeah, but what kind of kids? “The Lego Movie” kids or “Han shoots first” kids?

          They’re the same kids.

      These guys have turned the absolutely WORST ideas on paper into very good films. If there is any hope for this thing, it’s them. I mean, at this point you’re just obviously trolling, PS. Back it off a bit man.

        I haven’t watched any of their movies, there the ones that are aimed at kids and the dumb comedies. Since when 21 Jump Street was a comedy??? I saw the trailer and it was more than enough for me to cope , besides Channing Tatum is a no-no, that guy mostly does chick flicks. Let’s not even talk about Jonah Hill.

          So…you’re talking out of your ass then? Just spouting opinions as facts, informed by absolutely nothing? I mean, good on you to own up to it but…

            I don’t need to watch these movies to know i will not like them because they are obviously marketed towards an audience that I don’t belong to. You can judge movies by the cover and be correct 99% of time.

            Wow. Just…wow, dude. We’re done here.
