Producer Kathleen Kennedy has spoken to Variety about Walt Disney Studios and Lucasfilm‘s second Star Wars Story film, the still-untitled Han Solo movie, giving us a better idea of the look and tone they’re going for.
The screenplay for the Han Solo movie is written by Lawrence Kasdan and Jon Kasdan and will focus on how young Han Solo became the smuggler, thief, and scoundrel whom Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi first encountered in the cantina at Mos Eisley.
Slated for a May 25, 2018 release, the Han Solo movie will be executive produced by Lawrence Kasdan and Jason McGatlin and co-produced by Will Allegra. Meanwhile Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hits theaters December 16, 2016, with Star Wars: Episode VIII hitting December 15, 2017.
