Solo: A Star Wars Story co-writers Lawrence and Jon Kasdan have revealed some of the spinoff’s unlikely influences, including cult classic The Big Lebowski and Michael Mann’s Heat.
The Big Lebowski is a great example because Solo has a more off-kilter tone than you’ve ever seen in [Star Wars].”
The advantage of the Star Wars anthologies is that they can experiment with different styles and genres to offer something unique for fans.
Lawrence Kasdan is a legend of the studio, having written three Star Wars saga installments and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
