Kirk could still be different and rebellious without being such a jerk. For that matter, driving a Corvette off a cliff (in Iowa??). I would have rather seen 12 year old Kirk saving some other little kid from a gang of older, bigger bullies by using his brains and his wits.
Again, J.J. Adams has no need to please me. I am just one fan. If millions of people get enjoyment from his work then my sour feelings are just a pile of bantha poo.

Some good news today, Lawrence Kasdan (Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi) will be consulting on the script. Michael Arndt is doing the primary writing, so now I want to see Oblivion and the Hunger Games sequel before I judge. Toy Story 3 was great and all, but that doesn't really translate.

Visually this film will probably be impressive as hell. Adams also did a good job of researching Trek Lore (I do not know if he was a fan). I really enjoyed all the homages to earlier Trek episodes and movies that were fit into his Trek film.
So, maybe I am a grumpy old man, but I can still be an optimist and hope for the best.

So not only a new trilogy, but spin off movies focused on certain characters.
My nerd cup runneth over.

Yeah, Rodriguez was talking about how he'd rather do a Han solo flick (ha!) and I wondered if that was prompted by some conversations behind the scenes that hadn't been leaked to the public yet.
And I would effin' kill for a Robert Rodriguez Han Solo movie.

Yoda origins movie could be really good, Boba Fett movie would make money for sure too.

Or a Joss Whedon one. Oh wait, that was Firefly kind of.

Ideal casting for new Han movies (depending on the timeline):
Post-jedi: Josh Holloway
In-trilogy time: Timothy Olyphant
Pre-trilogy: lessor known up& comer. NOT Shia, Ryan (Reynolds OR Gosling) JGT or Chris Evans...

Young Han = Henry Cavill was my first pick. I saw online someone suggesting Aaron Taylor-Johnson and thought that wasn't a bad idea either though.
Garret Hedlund probably most looks the part though.
If it ended up being anyone from your "no" list other than MAYBE Ryan Reynolds, I'd be pissed.

If it's pre star wars (that's what it was called, NOT "a new hope") then it should focus on him getting the falcon. Because that's as much a favorite character as a human. Which brings young Lando into play. And maybe the chance for there to be a third black person in the galaxy. It could also focus on the shipment that Han dumped to get into trouble with Jabba. Which would allow Greedo to be a main bad guy, we'd finally see why he was actually a threat, and Han, while being beaten and tortured, could drop a line like "someday I WILL kill you, Greedo."
Kurt Russell could play Papa Solo, and Nathan Fillion could be an older brother, murdered by the empire, setting young Han on his rebellious path...

Granted, I only know of him in cape&tights, but isn't Cavill too bulky?
Hedlund would work, with a good director. I heard great things about his Dean Morriarty in "on the road" and he wasn't as bad in Tron as almost everything else in Tron.
I will burn Hollywood to the ground if Ryan Reynolds is cast as Han Solo. If he can't convince me he's Hal Jordan, he'll never convince me he's a scruffy looking nerf herder.

He didn't seem as beefy in The Tudors, and was definitely the Han Solo type scoundrel.

IN-teresting idea here...Scott Eastwood certainly looks the part.

Was watching Supernatural and thinking Jensen Ackles would make a good Han Solo too. Humor, style, etc. are all pretty much right on. Apparently I wasn't alone.

I liked him on Smallville and he was great on Dark Angel. Plus he did the voice of Jason Todd in Batman: under the red hood, so I could be down with that, but he'd still be "that guy" in my head. I'm personally hoping it's someone who pulls it off but I've never seen before. But I can't imagine I'll get that lucky.
Also
Hollywood, take note: I know you only seem to keep one African American leading man around at a time, but let me stress . . . IN NO FUCKING UNIVERSE IS JAMIE FOXX LANDO CALRISSIAN!!!
I'm sure you have intern monkeys searching every blog and message board in America gauging excitement and expectations for these movies, and I'm going on record. Cast Foxx as Lando and Travis Bickel's REAL RAIN is gonna come...
