Disney announces Han Solo spin-off
Han Solo, the spotlight is yours.
Disney announced on Tuesday that a Han Solo spin-off is in the works, with The LEGO Movie directors Christopher Miller and Phil Lord behind it.
The new Star Wars chapterwill focus on Han Solo's pre-Princess Leia days. "This is the first film we've worked on that seems like a good idea to begin with," said Miller and Lord in a statement released by Disney. The directors have also helmed Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, 21 Jump Street and 22 Jump Street.
According to Disney, the prequel will focus on how young Han Solo became the smuggler, thief, and scoundrel whom Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi first encountered in the cantina at Mos Eisley. (No word on whether Harrison Ford will cameo.)
"We promise to take risks, to give the audience a fresh experience, and we pledge ourselves to be faithful stewards of these characters who mean so much to us," said Miller and Lord.
"This is a dream come true for us. And not the kind of dream where you're late for work and all your clothes are made of pudding, but the kind of dream where you get to make a film with some of the greatest characters ever, in a film franchise you've loved since before you can remember having dreams at all."
The Han Solo movie is lated for release on May 25, 2018.
