No, his being too old for the role was.

They could maybe do a tv show, though: The Young Han Solo Chronicles. And yes, I'd watch that. :P

But the whole point was that he was old.  It was a generational film.  Was there anything he did in Raiders that he couldn't have done in Crystal Skull?  I don't put any of Crystal Skull's problems on Ford.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Who is Max von Sydow playing? Obiwan Kenobi reincarnated?

People who will be hamstrung as Star Wars characters for the rest of their careers. It looks like Chewie is in it since Meyhew is in that circle.

I'd buy Max von Sydow as an Sith Lord.

All hail Emperor Gnim.

The Larch

Von Sidow *has* to play a baddie. He's a poor man's Christopher Lee anyway, and Lee has already been in Star Wars and killed off.  :lol:

I'm betting Andy Serkis' character will be completely CGI.
