If Han Solo: A Star Wars Story does keep its May 25, 2018 date, it will arrive in theaters exactly 41 years to the date after the very first Star Wars movie, A New Hope, debuted in 1977.
With production already under way, more cast members are starting to come together for LucasFilm’s Han Solo: A Star Wars Story, with Fleabag creator/star Phoebe Waller-Bridge coming aboard.
Her role in the Han Solo spin-off was compared to Alan Tudyk’s K-2SO droid character from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which he portrayed through a motion-capture suit.
However, there have also been rumors that they may shift Han Solo: A Star Wars Story to December 2018, but that has yet to be confirmed either.
