I just don't care at this point.  I'm sure others do but I'd much rather just get the new main trilogy and not bother with any of these side store flicks.  But I've always been that way with any show/series, heck I don't even like prequels personally.

I'm in a mixed mindset on this, on the one hand I'd love to see this, but then I'm thinking is it just going to be another cash cow for Disney?

There's nothing wrong with it being "just another cash cow for Disney" if it's good and keeps to the spirit of the other Star Wars movies.

 

They are a business after all and I don't begrudge them that as long as the movie's not ######.

I've got a bad feeling about this...the directors were fired (or left) during production.

The untitled Han Solo film will move forward with a directorial change.

 

“Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are talented filmmakers who have assembled an incredible cast and crew, but it’s become clear that we had different creative visions on this film, and we’ve decided to part ways. A new director will be announced soon,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm.

 

“Unfortunately, our vision and process weren’t aligned with our partners on this project. We normally aren’t fans of the phrase ‘creative differences’ but for once this cliché is true. We are really proud of the amazing and world-class work of our cast and crew,” stated Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.

 

The untitled Han Solo film remains scheduled for a May 2018 release.

No one is asking for these side movies, Disney should just make episode 8 and 9 and then see what comes after.  I have very little interest in a Han origin story prequel movie, just no.

Whereas others are quite keen for this, just as they were the fantastically successful Rogue One... Which I thoroughly enjoyed - more than Force Awakens.

 

Conjecture around backstories has existed since the end of A New Hope.

I tend to agree... though I would like to see a stand alone Darth Vader movie where he is kicking rebel scum while in his prime (like in the animated Rebels)... before James Earl Jones passes. Unfortunately, that will probably not happen. :(

 

Will have to wait for the Han Solo trailer ...

Maybe Dash Rendar will make an appearance.

I can't remember where or what, but something was saying how that whole "multimedia event" has basically been wiped now.  But hey, you know how Disney have thrown in the odd fan favourite.

Rogue One was more of a filler story that slotted nicely before episode 4, so it works better in that sense.  This movie though, it's way off on it's own by comparison.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
