Lucasfilms has officially announced that a Star Wars Anthology, featuring Han Solo will be made into a feature movie. The film will delve into the early life of Solo and the path he took to make him the galaxy’s top smuggler.
Christopher Miller and Phil Lord (The Lego Movie) will take the helm to direct the anthology.
“This is the first film we’ve worked on that seems like a good idea to begin with. 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. 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.”
Lawrence Kasden, who is writing the screenplay, is no stranger to the Star Wars franchise. His previous credits include The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and The Force Awakens.
The film is slated for a March 25, 2018 release.
