Readers, I learned a long time ago (not in a galaxy far, far away) not to put too much 'stake' or value in casting news. The problem with getting excited about such announcements is that -- on the face of them -- they don't mean much as they're usually not paired with substantive information about what role the actor or actress may untimately play in an unknown story. Plus, because the story itself remains a secret, who knows if a great actor can pull off what's required of him or her? We've all seen good flicks that honestly could've been a bit better if a different talent had been brought in to provide a different 'take' on the character.
Still, Woody Harrelson has a pretty solid record in achieving results when he's booked for it, and today the Star Wars website has posted a release regarding the Woodster's casting in the as-yet-untitled 'Young Han Solo' stand-alone film. The web rumors are suggesting that Woody will be serving as a mentor to the young star pilot turned smuggler, and that might end up being pretty fun to see. As is always the case, I'll remain hopefully optimistic, especially since I found the stand-alone Rogue One to be, largely, pretty darn stellar (with a few drawbacks).
As always, thanks for reading ... and May the Force be with you!
