Young Han Solo Originally Intended To Appear In Revenge of the Sith.

The news hit the web today that a new anthology movie based on a young Han Solo is in the works and will hit screens in 2018. Who do you think would be the perfect person to play the young scruffy looking Nerf herder? A few names have already been mentioned including Chris Pratt but how young do they want to go? Pratt may be too old if they go based on the concept artwork from artist Iain McCaig. (Shown above.) His work was originally intended for Revenge of the Sith. George Lucas originally wanted a young Han Solo in Episode III. McCaig on Solo:

It’s not in the script anymore, but we were told that Han Solo was on Kashyyyk and that he was being raised by Chewbacca. He’s such a persnickety guy later on – he always has to have the best of everything – so I thought it’d be great if when he was a kid, he was an absolute slob.

Here's the only line Solo was destined for in Episode III:

HAN SOLO
I found part of a transmitter droid near the east bay… I think it’s still sending and receiving signals.

YODA
Good. Good. Track this we can back to the source. Find General Grievous, we might…

Will the new Christopher Miller and Phil Lord have any reference to this? Obviously we don't know at this early stage. The bigger question is below:

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene. Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark ? It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th
