So, apparently Han Solo’s real name isn’t Han Solo, and the\u00a0Star Wars\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Han Solo anthology film will show how he ended up calling himself that. In other news, the Earth is actually flat.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a USC tech conference this week, Disney CEO Bob Iger said that the film will show Han “acquiring a certain vehicle and meeting a certain Wookiee. You’ll also discover how he got his name.”<\/p>\n

Maybe we’re all actually just living in an alternate timeline, and Han’s name is still Han Solo in the real timeline. There’s no other way to explain this bombshell.<\/p>\n

The film is set to take place over a time period of six years, showing Han or-whatever-his-name-is-now’s life between the ages of 18 and 24 years old.<\/p>\n

Iger also spoke about the death of Carrie Fisher at the end of last year at the conference, and commented on how Star Wars: The Last Jedi<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is \u00a0dealing with General Leia.<\/p>\n

“Carrie appears throughout VIII<\/strong> <\/em>[but] we are not changing VIII<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0to deal with her passing,” he said. “Her performance remains as it is in VIII<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0In\u00a0Rogue One<\/strong><\/em>, we created a few characters [digitally]. We’re not doing that with Carrie.” Thank god.<\/p>\n

The Han Solo film is being directed by\u00a0The LEGO Movie<\/strong><\/em>‘s Phil Lord and Chris Miller with a screenplay by Jon Kasdan and Lawrence Kasdan.<\/p>\n

It stars Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo (or whatever he’s called), Donald Glover as a young Lando Calrissian, Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca and Woody Harrelson as Garris Shrike, as well as Emilia Clarke, Thandie Newton, Michael Kenneth Williams and Phoebe Waller-Bridge in unconfirmed roles.<\/p>\n

The Han Solo anthology film is in cinemas from 25 May 2018. Get all the latest sci-fi news with every issue of SciFiNow.<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
