Disney is creating a stand-alone Star Wars movie focusing on Han Solo. To my, and I'm sure many Star Wars fans dismay, Harrison Ford will not be starring in the role. The movie will focus on events that took place in the life of Han Solo before his appearance in the original Star Wars movie. No story details have been released yet. Before Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012, the expanded universe had several books that focused on Solo's younger days. It is believed that some of the aspects of these books could make an appearance in the new movie, which is expected to be called
Han Solo: A Star Wars Story. This belief comes from the fact that Disney utilized some of the details from the expanded universe in the newest movie release,
Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
The stand-alone film is in pre-production, under the directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Most likely in anticipation for the May the Fourth festivities; Miller tweeted out the first official image from the production. It was Solo's iconic blaster.
