The untitled Han Solo movie will be scored in the style of the original Star Wars movies but retain Powell’s distinctive voice.
Spencer Wilding, who portrayed Darth Vader in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, has been cast in this Han Solo movie, although it hasn’t been confirmed by official LucasFilm sources.
The composer made his feature film debut in 1997 with the John Woo action-thriller Face/Off, starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage.
Naturally, it will be quite some time until we hear any of his work on the Han Solo spin-off.
