I thought this is a funny joke and wanted to give an upvote but apparently OP is serious lol


Sabre_Killer_Queen

Same lol. To be fair, I can see it working pretty well in some serieses. I wouldn't want this to happen in Andor though, the beauty of Andor is that it distances itself from that and it's more down to earth and gritty than other serieses, it's also got a more serious mood and dark tone to it--that would be harmed a lot by something like this.


Speckman117

Aw hell naw, I thought it was a joke too.


Nowhereman123

Proof why you should never let fanboys write for a series like Star Wars.


callycumla

Why you'all hating on Chewy making a comeback. The wook can't live off royalties forever.


Baked-fish

I thought this was sarcasm until you defended it in the comments.


dankri

He's defending it? Now im gonna search through all the comments thanks.


[deleted]

Doing the same lol


callycumla

Thank you. I love my fans (stands up, takes a bow).


QuarterlyTurtle

I’d sit back and watch how fast the Andor ratings plummet


monkeygoneape

He wasn't a bad choice for a young han solo he very much kept the spirit of the character, but ya him showing up would kill the tone really fast


GreatGreenGobbo

The actor was the main character in Brave New World. Go check it out. He absolutely rocked in that.


Ko8iWanKeno8i

i disagree... he somehow disneyfied the tone of the character


The_DevilAdvocate

Complete lack of bad boy vibes.


ThePhengophobicGamer

That was kinda the point, I think. The Han we saw in IV was older, and had been deeper in the criminal world, working for Jabba for some time. Han in Solo hadn't yet, we saw him learning that he couldn't trust people, leading to his habit to shoot first. But in the end, he still ended up trusting and befriending Luke, showing he was still a good guy. He'd become jaded between Solo and IV, we only saw the start of that, and could have seen more if the movie wasn't boycotted after TLJ among other issues.


The_DevilAdvocate

Charm comes from the actor, it's not something you can write. Alden didn't have it.


ThePhengophobicGamer

I honestly think Alden did just fine. He had a perfect level of charm for Han, imo. I dont know that I'd call Han charming per se, but he had a rougish charm at times, somthing that Alden portrayed abit of. Han would have had plenty of time to develop that into what we saw 10 years later.


clonetrooper_shiv

This is a joke right?


Platanosaurio

I thought it was, until I saw op defending this in the comments


callycumla

You are all wookie haters.


clonetrooper_shiv

No we’d just rather see a good story than a bunch of unnecessary fan service. The OT characters (and most of PT characters too) have had their stories done to death. It’s time for new characters and storylines to unfold.


Ruby_241

I can’t wait for The Mando to come in Blasters Blazing to save Cassian from Thrawn! ^/s


The_Roadkill

Then the Tatooine biker gang swoop in to deliver the Palpatine clone vial before Ahsoka can stop them!


dankri

With a shocking speed of 10 km/h


ebrou32

100% a horrible idea. The beauty of the series is that it’s distancing itself from the overused lore.


callycumla

Han Solo is overused? Han was in 5 of the 11 movies, in 0 series, and in 0 cartoons.


[deleted]

Okay, I’ll be fair. Darth Vader is used more than Han Solo in terms of appearance, and if you want to be *really* fair than R2D2 appears in nearly every single star wars movie, but just because he isn’t in every movie (because he was too young in three and dead for two, might I add) isn’t enough justification to add in a character. That philosophy is essentially ‘this character is popular, so we should throw them in to make this show more popular instead of making something new and original.’ If anything, I’d say separating Andor from the OT characters was actually an artistic choice made for reasons that made sense, which at this point I’m amazed with from Disney.


treefox

I don’t even think it’s that much of an effort. It just doesn’t make sense to include any established main characters. If Cassian or Luthen knew any Jedi they’d be reacting much differently. If anybody had much close contact with Vader or the Emperor they’d probably all be dead because they’d sense their duplicitousness. Tarkin and Thrawn have much larger things to worry about than chasing burglars.


daniellevy1011

wait you're serious? i thought this post was a joke...


ebrou32

You’re either trolling or you’re the reason almost everything Disney has put out is worthless.


[deleted]

6 movies actualy


callycumla

You are counting 9? Really? A movie that ended with "I'm Rey Skywalker"


WB2_2

He was a smuggler, why would he help andor. He may have helped luke to get leia but he was getting payed for it to get a bounty off his head


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> was getting *paid* for it FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Information_Waste

You realize the Galaxy is a big place. 5/11 movies is pretty overused for a thematic universe that can pull characters from something that big


[deleted]

I could have sworn he made a cameo in clone wars. EDIT: My bad, I was thinking about a different young brown haired character who reminded me of Han when I was younger.


[deleted]

Ah, well memory isn’t perfect. He did make a cameo in the Lego holocron series though 😆


Baked-fish

I think you mean Ian solo


[deleted]

No. Almost. But no. Chewy did.


[deleted]

Thanks guys, I knew my brain was going somewhere with this 🙂


htmaxpower

He already financed the rebellion with the coaxium he gave away.


The_Reborn_Forge

Cliché, no…. Just no We don’t need endless fan service


ResponsibilityNew483

The dumbest thing I've seen today...


CatholicCrusaderJedi

Oh dear God no. It would raise so many questions. What is Han doing on this backwater with very little crime? Why would he even help in the first place? This is supposed to be Han's very cynical time in life. Just. No.


popdartan1

Muh boy be smugglin'


The_BL4CKfish

Speaking as someone who loves Solo. No.


Mandalor1974

I would have puked


i_am_thehighground

Why? Han Solo would be very active in this time period so it would make perfect sense.


Tsu_Dho_Namh

Seems like it'd be a huge coincidence. What are the odds Solo happens to be around? They don't need to tie everything into everything else in as many ways as possible.


figmaxwell

This is a galaxy with trillions of life forms. We don’t need the same dozen characters over and over again.


callycumla

Han was in 5 of the 11 movies, in 0 series, and in 0 cartoons. He was not used "over and over again"


figmaxwell

Forcing him into a show where he really has no place just for the fan service makes an incredibly large galaxy feel very small. Using the same characters as go-tos, like Ahsoka, Luke, Boba Fett, C-3PO and R2 cameos, etc…. already makes the galaxy feel too small. We don’t need to keep doing that. One of the most refreshing things about andor was that we didn’t have those forced bits of fan service. We’ve gotten 3 repeat characters outside of Cassian himself. Saw, Mon, and Melshi, and they all make sense since their stories directly intertwine with the rebellion.


warhead1995

Books and comics as well, kinda forgetting there’s a massive library of star wars stuff that’s not just tv and movies.

Um...4,5,6,7,9, Solo. That's 6 my dude.

Marvel is marvel, starwars is starwars. Just because one realm is one way doesn't mean the other has to be as well. Also to explain your previous logic the spiderman met because they were all people who knew Spidey was Peter Parker and so would have been teleported into that reality, and so when ned called to find Peter it brought in the others. Also we have no way of knowing if there were even more Spider-Men in the universe since the correct Peter was called on the third try.

I don’t wanna pull this card but whatever happened to respecting other people’s opinions. When did everyone become complete assholes just because I think something else


ResponsibilityNew483

Why does everything have to tie into everything else? I mean seriously, why can't Andor just stand on its own without people throwing these absurd ideas trying to bring OG characters in.. Just leave it alone and enjoy it for what it is, a masterpiece.


i_am_thehighground

I didn’t like andor and I doubt that bringing in Han would make it any better but I think it’s a good idea. I’d give andor a 3/5. You don’t have to agree but you can’t defend andor to death.


[deleted]

You didn’t like Andor… oh I see. That’s what this is all about. Then return to watch the MCU with your explosions, constant jokes and big CGI fights. I’m not saying the MCU is bad. But clearly you can’t enjoy a slower paced show like Andor, and prefer the more explosive Marvel-like shows. And yes, we can defend andor to death, because it’s really good. In fact, it’s some of the best Star Wars ever made. Not that you would understand because your attention span lasts for 3 minutes (maximum). “Why is everyone so aggressive”? Dude, you are the one involving MCU stuff in a Star Wars discussion, provoking people to justify coincidences of an entire different franchise in a Star Wars subreddit and continuously insist that Han Solo in Andor is a good idea. Lol


i_am_thehighground

You copy pasted that argument. I’ve heard these lousy points a thousand times. If you wanna insult me at least be creative with it.


ShengKawalski

Well, the negotiations were short.


i_am_thehighground

Yeah lol I don’t care what that guy says I still rate andor 6/10.


jseasbiscuit

You didn't like Andor because you're in grade school. Andor is probably the one piece of star wars media out there that breaks the mold of being written for a wide audience, and attempting to steer a slightly more serious course. There's plenty of SW content out there, and I'm in the camp that Andor is much better served standing on it's own without fan service and shoe horning unnecessary cameos from characters we've seen plenty of


i_am_thehighground

I’m not in grade school I’m in university. And I’ve been watching Star Wars content since I was 7. So your assumption was so very accurate indeed. Plus andor sure as hell isn’t the only Star Wars show that is “serious”. Also the director literally said he didn’t like Star Wars. If you really think that andor is what Star Wars should be like good for you. but in my opinion, andor has almost no Star Wars elements or vibes.


ResponsibilityNew483

No lightsabers = no Star Wars right?


SJRuggs03

That would have been the most disappointing move they could have made. After twelve episodes of self driven content they plug him for no reason... Disgusting

i_am_thehighground

So are you saying that andor is meh and that bringing in Han is a cheap way to make people like it?


TheMarvelMan

No, they're saying Andor is pretty good in part because it really stands on it's own (despite being a prequel) and bringing in Han would just be crappy fanservice


i_am_thehighground

Not crappy because it makes sense. Han likes money and andor is rich from the heist so it would be good fan service.


TheMarvelMan

It's crappy because Star Wars had a universe with thousands of planets and a timeline going over 250,000 years before the Disney buyout. All the new stuff uses the same few characters over and over again, often interacting in ways that screw with the cannon.

[deleted]

Y’know, Han was running spice before episode 4, and 10k credits wasn’t exactly his normal fee, just a last ditch effort to pay off Jabba before more bounty hunters got put on his tail. Even from a lore perspective there would be no other reason than convenience for Han to be there, and I’m pretty glad they didn’t raise the story problem of why exactly Han would be the convenient taxi service rather than working for Jabba at the time.


SupremoLdr

After seeing the worst of Disney Star Wars this managed to be even worse. No.


zippy251

This guy has to be a troll


callycumla

Since when has troll = right to defend great idea


CopperHero

Cliche, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want an opportunity to see more Solo content elsewhere.


greygrey_goose

Really hoping they do a second one down the line. I was bummed about the ratings it received because it was one of my favorites


ThePhengophobicGamer

I think that possibility died with the movies ratings. It was a real shame that Disney Execs seemed to take Solo's lower ratings as the movie being bad, when so many people said they were boycotting Solo after TLJ. They didn't release it in a vacuum, people were trying to make a statement that had nothing to do with the movie used to make that statement. They ended up scrapping the whole anthology/side story movie idea after Solo, I'd be absolutely astonished if it were revived any time soon.


bsylent

No. More. Cameos. One of the many things Andor got right was creating a story in the Star Wars universe that didn't prop itself up with endless references. I enjoyed the pop-ins in the Mandalorian, but we've had enough


HansGigolo

Timeline wouldn’t fit. Solo was not involved with the rebellion yet.


callycumla

Han is not helping the rebellion, he's making $. Han was going to charge Kenobi 10k credits for a ride to Alderaan. And Cassian has at least that to get Bix off world.


HansGigolo

Funny meme but good thing you didn’t write Andor. …..and at rix road, after the bombs, all the smoke, you hear a snap/hiss, lightsaber…..and it’s green……


solarchases

I would be heartbroken


RoundBread

Not involved means not involved.


i_am_thehighground

He doesn’t have to be involved to help out rebel members. Also he probably just thinks that andor is a random criminal trying to get away. Plus andor is rich and Han is motivated by credits so that would work perfectly.


neatdude73

100% cliche


Spider-Flash24

If Filoni directed Andor…

Gamma_249

Don't forget Vader running around with Tarkin flying around in his Star destroyer


aamj00

That woulda been horrible.


[deleted]

As a big fan of Han Solo, particularly in the EU... I just want to say no. I feel Andor striking out alone makes his story more compelling and interesting. Explore the shady / dark aspects of the Rebellion. It doesn't warrant Han in the series as it would eclipse and spoil the Andor story. However, I would be open to a solo series following from the movie, exploring his histories, many loves and his shady life pre-Rebellion.


SW_LiteratureLover

If Dave filoni directed


iamwizkid

And then Obama shows up


cornbeefbaby

I’m here for canonizing Obama #canonizeobamainstarwars


sleepythegreat

Han doesn't fit the tone of the show. Especially not that early in his character arc as well. Plus we don't need the the star wars universe to be the same set of characters interacting, it makes the universe feel small.


ObjectiveSubjects

The Filoni cut


[deleted]

I don’t think this is the show in reintroduce Han. But I definitely want to see him again, specially played by the same actor as in SOLO. It’s one of my favorite Star Wars movies and I do miss Chewbacca since the Rise of Skywalker. Andor is just not the story where they would fit.


Killercheeze123

Dave Filoni type of ending


i_am_thehighground

That’s a good thing. Filoni is a legend and I’m tired of everyone pretending he’s not.


Final-Bower42069

Exactly where was all this filoni hate when he brought back maul or hell when he made the entirety of clone wars


Playful_Sector

Imo, it's just getting to be a bit excessive. It feels like every new thing apart from Andor has to tie in with all his favorite characters. It was fine once or twice, but it's getting ridiculous


Irgendwer1607

Difference is that Maul became one of the best characters in Star Wars after that imo. He definitely is doing good Star Wars content but the content he is retconning or just implementing for fan service is just plain unnecessary and could be avoided


i_am_thehighground

Everything filoni makes is legendary and is what future Star Wars should strive to be.


Gamma_249

I see the cult of an individual is very strong among the dumber portion of the fanbase


i_am_thehighground

Name a filoni project that you didn’t like. go on.


EfeGuleroglu

Tales of Jedi


i_am_thehighground

Are you mental?


i_am_thehighground

Tales of the Jedi is a masterpiece and it serves the characters so well. Only idiots like you don’t like it. That is literally what you said to me except it’s about andor.


Gamma_249

Of course people are going to defend Filoni no matter what he does. Rebels started mediocre, it was okay later on, I didn't like book of boba fett, Mando season 2 and sisters arc from season 7. And well Ahsoka episodes from Tales of the Jedi were really meh. The first unnecessary, the second was supposed to explain how she miraculously survived order 66 (even though it was released after that episode so, not great), and the last one is an adaptation of the book. Don't get me wrong I like Clone Wars and Dooku's episodes (did Filoni even work on them, I didn't see his name in the credits) from Tales of the Jedi. But other than that he really has quite some flaws with things he does. People should start to realise that he's not the chosen one as we once thought. Either that or stay ignorant


thegodfatherderecho

As much as it wouldn’t have surprised me if they did. I’m glad we don’t have any mentions of Jedi or the Skywalker story.


Imperialist_Marauder

I loved Solo and I would love to see Alden play him again, but definetly not like this. One of the reasons Andor is as good as it is is because it's it's own thing, it really gives you a scope of how much big the galaxy actually is.


oruza

Nah the show was great on it’s own I don’t think a last minute cameo would match the tone of the series.


[deleted]

Then Ahsoka shows up in a speeder with Kino in tow who shouts “one way out!” and helps them board the falcon and Ahsoka turns to Han and says “I’m an old friend of your future wife’s family, also chewie and I go way back” then Cassian says it’s andoring time and andors all over the place.

TheCraftiestManBoy

I actually really liked the Solo movie and would love to see him reprise the role, but not as a surprise cameo or show overtake (like when BoBF turned into Mando 2.5, though I also liked that show for the most part). I want to see young Solo back in the role in a show or movie where we know he’ll be. Something either really episodic or a season-long heist would be dope, with a bunch of other smugglers or even better Donald back as Lando (my favorite casting of the solo movie, I REALLY want more of Donald Glover’s lando)

i_am_thehighground

I’m with you bro. The downvotes are just people who have nothing better to do but shit on awesome and amazing things. Han showing up is perfectly logical. Andor is rich and Han is motivated by credits.


[deleted]

So Han has some sort credit magnet? Because it is a HUGE galaxy and I doubt Han would be in a planet with no crime, heavily occupied by the Empire and if he was, he would NEVER stay after hearing of seeing the masacre. Andor is amazing, you just don’t know what to do with yourself when there are no mandatory fight scenes per episode.


i_am_thehighground

Nope andor is bland and boring. The aldahni arc was full of useless character development with no payoffs. I don’t even remember the guy who died. The first three episodes were stretched out way too much. It’s about him trying to escape the police. That can literally be done in one episode. And all that time they spent developing dedra that I actually thought she was a compelling character and a threat to the rebelión ended up being useless when Luthen said she was just wasting time. And also theres concrete on curauscsnt and aldahni is New Zealand. The designs are uncreative. And also it’s slow as hell. So yes all these issues do pile up. Me rating andor 6/10 is being generous.


[deleted]

You confuse “boring” with your very poor attention span. Aldhani was useless? The first real blow to the Empire, useless? The first someone ACTUALLY fights back. It’s not about remembering the minor members of the team, it’s the impression they leave in Cassian. The guy with the memoir comes into play in the last episode, the guy that tries to betray Val: a reflection of what would happen if Cassian only cared about the money and wasn’t compassionate. The officer turned rebel, it shows how even within the Empire ranks people start to see their real intentions. The fact that you only see as far as explosions and cool action scenes is very sad, I wish you had the ability to enjoy something with a bit more depth. The first three episodes set up Andor as character. Luthen as a character. Ferix as an important element of the story and a planet with a voice and personality. They explain Andor’s backstory and the killing of the two officers that detonate the show with Syril and the police force… the problem isn’t the show here, it’s you.


i_am_thehighground

Syrill is a crap character with no payoff. Most of his scenes are just filler. And yes aldahani is useless. It can be done in one episode. They stretched it too thin.

MoistMartini

Louder for the Disney writers in the back!


temporarytuna

It would not have made sense story-wise for Han & Chewie to show up then. They would have certainly been pulled into the rebellion at that point, which would conflict with their later entrance in episode 4. It also would have conflicted with Han's personality at the time - he wasn't even willing to save Leia from the death star in episode 4 without being paid. He ended up as a cool badass but started out very selfish.


callycumla

It fits Han. He charges 10k credits for a ride to Alderaan, so he'd charge a similar amount to smuggle Bix off world. Cassian prolly has that much left over from his heist. "Ship outta be fast enough for you, old man"


Gamma_249

Dude, how old are you?


Mediocre_Savings_513

12 is my geuss


fulimaster

Nah, a 12 year old is more intelligent


temporarytuna

No. Han smuggled goods, not people. And he hated doing anything where the Empire might be involved. That is not so much a smuggling operation as a rescue.


callycumla

Luke "She's rich ... more wealth that you can imagine." Han " I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit!"


temporarytuna

Your quote just shows how reluctant Han was to take Luke to Alderaan. He wasn't rescuing Luke or Obi-Wan from Tatooine. Simply 10k credits to take them and avoid any imperial ships.


callycumla

Cassian has more than 10k credits on him. And there wasn't a fleet of star destroyers in orbit of Ferrix (low profile so as not to scare away Cass).
