It is now officially called "Solo: A Star Wars Story" ... which surprised ... probably no one.  :)

Howard has documented his experience making Solo: A Star Wars Story on Twitter and Instagram throughout production — with everything from photos with cast members to teases of vehicle controls to shots of his morning coffee. StarWars.com has compiled all of his updates in one post, which you can view here.

 

Solo: A Star Wars Story, set prior to the events of the original Star Wars trilogy, is slated for release on May 25, 2018.

Ron Howard is a great director but I don't expect much out of this side story.   It'll make a pretty penny because it's star wars but I just don't feel excited for these "side projects", if you will.

I still think they should have used the guy on Age of Adaline who played a the Young Harison Ford... this was him doing an impression in 2008, they must have saw it and hired him.

 

 

 

Yeah, I have no idea how they passed him up.  The guy they chose looks and acts nothing like Harrison Ford.

Yeah, he sounds like he's Han Solo that hasn't hit puberty yet.  Also acts more like he's channeling Chris Pine's Kirk rather than Harrison Ford's Han Solo.  Only hope I have for this movie is Donald Glover's Lando.

Literally none of the mannerisms of Han from any of the movies come through in this trailer.  Han always was cocky but in a way that he knew he could back it up.  This is some dude who doesn't have that experience yet, so it just comes off as wrong.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
