Star Wars: Solo Trailer 2 Reactions - 8 Ups & 3 Downs

2. It Still Fails To Make Han More Interesting Than Lando

When you cast Donald Glover as one of the coolest movie characters of all time, you're always going to have difficulty making fans care about anyone more than him.

The first trailer heaped on the Lando mythology, making it seem that Han was going to love him as much as the cult fandom that sprang up around his Original Trilogy appearances. And this time we get even more Lando cool (to the point that some of it feels more like Glover cool, to be honest).

It fits the idea of the character, of course, but it's no wonder there's lots of reservations around Alden Ehrenreich's Han when he's being forced to compete with someone so uncharitably cool. Especially when that's happening in the bloody trailers.
