History YMMV / Solo

* TaintedByThePreview: Or rather, tainted by the ''lack'' of preview. The TroubledProduction and the absence of any footage/trailer as of late January 2018 with the May 25th release date still unchanged has left some fans rather wary about the final film.

* UnfortunateImplications: [[https://moviepilot.com/p/star-wars-han-solo-emilia-clarke-whitewashing/4151181 Emilia Clarke being cast as Qi'ra, the lead female role, has led people to point out that Star Wars persists in casting brunette Caucasian women as its leads (Clarke being the fifth such character in a row) and it's starting to get suspicious.]]

** By January 2018, Disney's bizarre refusal to give ''any'' kind of marketing to the film (other than a pretty vague synopsis which told the audience nothing they couldn't have already guessed) while still insisting the release date in May 2018 hasn't changed, leading to many jokes about them trying to bury an embarrassment.

* MemeticMutation: As soon as Ron Howard was announced to take over directing duties on the film, many ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' jokes about the movie and its TroubledProduction hit the web.

* HilariousInHindsight: Creator/RonHoward was previously one of the lead stars of Creator/GeorgeLucas' [[Film/AmericanGraffiti big pre-Star Wars film]], and directed a [[Film/{{Willow}} fantasy film]] written by Lucas.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: It's Han Solo without Creator/HarrisonFord. Some people are going to be put off.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: It's Han ''freaking'' Solo without Creator/HarrisonFord. Some people are going to be put off.

* {{Narm}}: The comical level of secrecy around the movie's official name -- which was rather anticlimactically revealed to be ''Solo'' -- was seen as rather unnecessary by fans. Rumor has it that [[WhatCouldHaveBeen the movie was originally going to have a different title]] before it was changed following the director-switch, so at the very least, the secrecy was '''somewhat''' justified.

* ToughActToFollow: A big reason why this movie has something of an AudienceAlienatingPremise for fans on the less kind side of the Broken Base is that Alden Ehrenreich has huge shoes to fill from Harrison Ford's take on the character.

** The first anthology spinoff, ''Film/RogueOne'', has set a rather high bar for its unique take on the ''Star Wars'' mythos. As such, there is the prospect that this movie will unfairly or not be compared to ''Rogue One''.

* BrokenBase: The entire concept of a Han Solo movie ''without'' Creator/HarrisonFord was bound to create this, but fans have been incredibly divided over the existence of the project -- even in spite of the fact that the screenplay was done by Creator/LawrenceKasdan, [[MyRealDaddy the writer who defined who Han Solo was]] in three of the four other movies the character appeared in.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Out of all the possible Franchise/StarWarsLegends characters to make the jump to film, it's pretty safe to say no one expected Tag and Bink, especially since they--being from a parody comic series-- were never canon to begin with.
