New Details Emerge on Live-Action Star Wars TV Show

So is this the one where the destroy Han Solo?

So let me get this right, Lucas...

You're making a TV show that's between III and IV that has absolutely nothing to do with the characters from the movies, talking about events that we already know the conclusion to (killing the suspense), making a commentary to a very silly and stupid event that happens to be occurring right now in an attempt to make a social commentary and look smart.

*facepalm* If this isn't the most un-Star Wars-esque idea for a Star Wars George Lucas-approved project ever, then I'll print out this story and eat it.

2020, hah I say. Not till 2073 when robot Lucas was destroyed in the 2nd battle of Uranus, and the data was retrieved from his R-2 unit.
Ohh you don't have time travel. Disregard this.

And referring to the US government as being run by criminals and gangs? Fuck you, Rick. Yeah, it's not perfect, but try living in Russia, Somalia or Sudan for a couple of months to see how a government actually run by criminals operates.

Just about the same way the US gov't does, only slightly more criminal, and more importantly - with a lot more capital spread through the populace. For now (as in, the US is definitely getting that way too). Not for too much longer though, I think.

So is this the one where the destroy Han Solo?

Oh good god I haven't thought of this. Yes, I think you are right. If not Han Solo, DEFINITELY Lando.

With this, he has turned his dark eye towards the one character not touched by them... one who's story lives in the underworld, one who is famous for being on the shady side of the law.

He's coming after Han Solo.

Then your fall to the Dark Side will be complete...

There's already a trio of novels set in this time period about Han Solo called, surprisingly enough, the Han Solo Trilogy. It's about him and Chewie starting and rising in their careers as smugglers after Han drops out of the Imperial Academy and rescues Chewie from slavery, set mainly around their base of operations on Nar Shardaa. It ends literally on the scene of Luke and Ben walking into the Mos Eisly Cantina.

No doubt Georgey will find a way to shit all over that Expanded Universe canon.
