Now, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy reveals when cameras will start rolling on the Han Solo film.
The second anthology film will be another original trilogy prequel, following the character of Han Solo prior to his adventures with Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa.
The first anthology movie arrives this week in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which will be followed next year by Star Wars: Episode VIII, with the second spinoff scheduled to hit theaters in 2018.
In 1977 George Lucas launched Star Wars, a now-massively popular and beloved sci-fi action/adventure franchise.
