Han Solo To Get His Own Star Wars Movie Prequel

Posted by Soulskill on from the and-so-it-begins dept.

New submitter alaskana writes: According to Starwars.com, Han Solo will be getting his own movie prequel. The film will purportedly tell the story of a young Han Solo and how he came to be the wily smuggler that shows up in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The film is set to be directed by Christopher Miller and Phil Lord (of The Lego Movie fame) and written by Lawrence and Jon Kasdan. Get your popcorn and tickets ready, as the movie is set to debut May 25, 2018.

    So you're thinking this would be a thinly-veiled allegorical retelling of Ron Paul's life? Maybe it can include a "staffer" writing anti-Wookie rants in Han's newsletter.

      And now you know why his childhood nickname was "Hand Solo".

    Put in more little robots! And I want cutesy creatures here, and here, and here and here and here and here and here. The main character has to grab a fruit with his tongue! Kids love that!

    The main character is human, George.

    Well, make him something else then. With a funny accent. Kids love that.

    Shut up, George.

    If they were smart, they'd have the character just blowing ten or fifteen creatures away before they had a chance to draw.

    "Han. You're still alive!"

    "I shot first."

    Make more theme worlds, because apparently the universe is populated by jungle worlds, metal worlds, forest worlds, magma worlds, ice worlds and desert worlds.
