Disney is now planning to switch off every year between the newest Star Wars trilogy film and the next spinoff film, with Star Wars: The Last Jedi launching next in 2017, followed by the Untitled Han Solo Movie in 2018.
That changed with last year’s release of the first Star Wars spinoff movie, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Han Solo was originally played by Harrison Ford and will now be played by Alden Ehrenreich.
This also sheds some light on what Donald Glover – who is taking over the role of Lando from Billy Dee Williams – will be doing in the Han Solo film.
