Christopher Miller & Phil Lord To Helm Han Solo Anthology Film

It was announced today on the official Star Wars website that Christopher Miller and Phil Lord (The LEGO Movie) have been attached to direct the Han Solo anthology film, slated for a May 28, 2018 release date.  I’m a bit mixed about the announcement; as much as i would love to see more Star Wars content, do I really want to see young Han Solo? What if it takes away the mystique from his past? I don’t want a chance for anything to be ruined.

The article states that “The story focuses on how young Han Solo became the smuggler, thief, and scoundrel”, so let’s hope it really stays close to that description.

“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.”
