Physically, I think they did just about as good of a job as they could. He looks like a good "young Solo". I will need to see more of his acting to see if he's miscast or not. His voice was off in the trailer. Not really the gruff Han Solo voice we're used to. I'm not gonna jump the gun yet though. Well, if they were going for a Ford lookalike, they should have chosen Anthony Ingruber. I don't see any resemblance in Alden, especially considering he's only like 5 years younger than Ford in the original Star Wars. I assumed they went with him because of his acting - much like Ewan didn't look much like Alec Guinness but channelled him effectively - but after this teaser, I don't get that, either. Since the casting was first announced, I wondered why they went with Alden Ehrenreich, as I too thought Anthony Ingruber (who I first saw in the movie The Age of Adaline) was like a perfectly de-aged Harrison Ford and seemed tailor-made for the role. However, I didn't wish to judge the actor playing young Han until we'd at least gotten to see a decent amount of footage with him. After having watched the trailer, I'm still not sure about him. I guess I'll just have to wait until after having watched the movie before passing judgement on the guy.

Did this Anthony Ingruber guy even audition for the role? Was he even available?

Do you want a physical clone of Harrison Ford or do you want someone whose acting ability can do the role justice? You can't always have both. I want the second, and from what I read: "A source close to the film’s production has informed us: Disney is bracing themselves for the Han Solo movie to bomb. They were worried about it before all The Last Jedi controversy, but now they’re essentially writing Solo off. The lead actor, Alden Ehrenreich, can’t act, and they had a dialogue coach on hand for all of his scenes. On top of that, the script is unworkable. It’s going to be a car crash." www.screengeek.net/2017/12/24/disney-expects-solo-a-star-wars-story-to-bomb/

We will see for ourselves. I consider this a rumour. (I agree with Hans Landa)

What, did Han Solo's balls not drop until he was 31? It's about finding a balance between someone with the acting skills to pull off the role, and physical similarity. Alden may only be 5 years younger, but the writing will determine his "age" in the movie. I think he could easily pull off a character younger. Personally, I think Alden has the acting chops to pull this role off. Will the writers help him out though? Who knows. Depends on what direction the writers go with the character. Personally I think a lot of the new characters in the new Star Wars movies have been terribly miscast, so I understand the complaints. I'm willing to give it a chance though.

Ingruber definitely has the look of Han Solo. Even more than Alden probably. But a lot of it has to do with personality of the actor too. Writing can only do so much. The casting directors may have thought the personality of Alden outweighed the looks of Ingruber in the end. I think Alden's qualifications for Han Solo is pretty much as close as you can get for a movie like this. Sounds like I may be in the minority though.

Did you Like the First Official Teaser Trailer for " SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY".....YES or NO ? ---------------------- For me, My own Answer is "NO". I don't know why but the Trailer felt more like " BLADE RUNNER" than it did " STAR WARS". Plus, I don't at all like the voice of the actor playing Han Solo. It doesn't sound like Han Solo at all! What does everybody else here think ? I liked it alot, seemed like a Star Wars/Fast and Furious hybrid, definitely made me excited to see the movie. An interesting looking group of supporting characters, cool looking effects, chases on land and in space, Lando looking like a space pimp, Chewbacca, looks good.
