Han Solo Movie: What We Know So Far

Hello movie marauders! Star Wars has been revived by Disney starting with The Force Awakens (2015), then Rogue One: A Star Wars Story(2016), The Last Jedi (2017), and Star Wars Episode IX (2019). They are planning on creating Star Wars Stories, and started with Rogue One. The next story will be the Han Solo Movie starring Alden Ehrenreich as Solo.  The Han Solo Movie is untitled and is supposed to be released May 25th, 2018 (U.S.A.) (There are rumors that it will be delayed until December 13, 2018). It started filming in London in January 2017. I would like to see an Obi Wan Star Wars Story starring Ewan McGregor, but Disney has not confirmed it. Disney is supposedly planning a Boba Fett Star Wars Story as well.  There are not many details about the untitled Han Solo Movie, but here is what we know so far:

Cast

Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo

Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian

Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca(played Peter Mayhew's double in The Force Awakens)

Woody Harrelson as Beckett (criminal/Han's mentor)

Emilia Clarke (unconfirmed role)

Thandie Newton (unconfirmed role)

Phoebe Waller-Bridge (unconfirmed role)

Directors are Phil Lord and Chris Miller (directed The Lego Movie/Jump Street Movies).

Writers are Lawrence Kasdan (wrote The Empire Strikes Back, The Force Awakens, Return of the Jedi, Raiders of the Lost Ark) and his son Jon Kasdan.

Plot

This movie is supposed to show how Han made his name (became popular). It is speculated to show how Han got the Millennium Falcon from Lando and his relationship with Jabba. It will have a western/heist vibe. It is going to show why Han is the way he is. This film will take place around 10 or more years before we meet Han in A New Hope.

This is about all we know so far!

My Thoughts on the Han Solo Movie

When I first heard that Alden Ehrenreich was going to play Han I was disappointed. I just couldn't see him as the character. When I saw the first photo of the cast and Alden dressed up as Han, I feel better about the movie. I am mostly just worried that they will ruin Harrison Ford's Han Solo. I am very happy about the casting of Donald Glover as Lando and that Woody Harrelson will be in the movie. I like the directors and writers and I think the Han Solo Movie is in good hands. All I want from this movie is a fun adventure and a better understanding of Han Solo. Hopefully this movie is as good as Rogue One and will convince Disney to do an Obi Wan story!
