Yes, you read that right. They are making a prequel movie of Han Solo's life before he joined up with Luke and Obiwan.

Disney announced Tuesday that Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, the duo behind "The Lego Movie," will direct a feature about Han Solo's life before "Star Wars," slated to hit theaters in 2018.

The as-yet untitled movie will be written by Lawrence Kasdan and his son, Jon Kasdan. That screenwriting duo will probably satisfy the legions of devout "Star Wars" fans -- the elder Kasdan co-wrote "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi," in addition to J.J. Abrams' upcoming "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," due in December.

This could be very interesting. :) I thought that Anakin from The Clone Wars animated series was like a young Han Solo might have been, only without the Force. I love Han Solo's personality, and whomever plays him has to channel that and not change it much. Han is a scoundrel, not a romantic or the marrying type. He should not be entangled with a woman or have allegiances with anyone. This could be good. :)

I agree. I think if they are going to expound upon any character from the SW universe Han Solo is the one they should do. I just hope the writers remember that he's a mercenary/smuggler. If they make him out to be a sweetie with a heart of gold I'll puke.

While they're at it give Han a unique drawback to overcome. For example, every time he hears the word "Greedo" or one sounding too similar to it he immediately and involuntarily draws his pistol and shoots...

I'm dying for them to explain how Han speaks fluent Wookie. :icon_lol:

Umm, he doesn't?

He seems to understand Chewie pretty well. One would think he'd have to be able to communicate with his co-pilot for obvious reasons. No? :daniel_new004:
