Solo: A Star Wars Story screenwriters Lawrence and Joe Kasdan recently talked about some of their influences while writing the movie, and the Coen Brothers’ cult classic The Big Lebowski came up along with Michael Mann’s Heat.
The Big Lebowski is a cult favorite and hearing that it’s an influence on an off-kilter Star Wars movie sounds very interesting on paper, so it will be exciting to see how Lawrence and Joe Kasdan and Ron Howard pulled it off.
Will a young Han Solo movie influenced by The Big Lebowski and Treasure Island sit better?
The Big Lebowski is a great example because Solo has a more off-kilter tone than you’ve ever seen in Star Wars.”
