As most Star Wars fans know, Han was killed off by his own son Kylo Ren during the climax of The Force Awakens.
He assures fans that Han Solo still has a major role to play in Star Wars 8, even if he’s not there in physical form.
For a long time now, we’ve heard that Harrison Ford shot a flashback scene for Star Wars: The Last Jedi that will reunite his Han Solo with Mark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker on screen for the first time in 35 years.
Johnson says The Last Jedi retains Han Solo’s ‘figurative ghost’ and that he is ‘present’ through the two hour runtime.
