That 2006 DVD version is pan and scan. So, still not the original theatrical release.

That's not even world building. World building expands the lore of the world. This gave no real insights into it, other than Woody Harrelson tossing him a blaster.

IIRC the blaster is also part of a set that can be modified for carbine or rifle configuration, but Han didn’t get those parts. Would have been handy sometimes but really not part of the gunslinger vibe he was going for.

I really liked Solo and wish we’d seen more of Ehrenreich as Han (not to mention Clarke as Qi’ra and Glover as Lando). PWB as L3 was fantastic and I’d like to see her as the Falcon in future too.

Favourite lines:

“I hate you.”
“I know.”

Honestly I’d be totally on board with a reboot of Star Wars with McGregor, Ehrenreich, Glover, Clarke, and a couple of fresh-faced kids as the twins. I’d be very happy to see Ingram back as Reva from Kenobi too. Take the plot in different directions, have Kenobi survive, whatever.

(I’ll stop now since this is a MCU thread, not a SW thread.)

The blaster did not cause the problems with the film. If it had been a different blaster it wouldn’t have made it a better movie.

As I said, the movie’s problem was trying to cram in shedloads of backstory (and more was cut). The actual story started with the failed train heist. It would have been better to start with that as a pre-credits sequence, then have the occasional flashback to fill in only the parts of the backstory that are relevant to the plot.

Sure enough!

As mentioned above, I’d be quite happy to see an Abrams ST style reboot of the original trilogy (but not with Abrams). I think there’s a lot you could do with it. Of course, it will probably never happen while George still breathes.

I'd watch it just to see Han shoot first.
