More rumors indicated that director Gareth Edwards would be shooting a cameo for young Han Solo, played by Alden Ehrenreich.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story opens in December 16, 2016, followed by Star Wars: Episode VIII on December 15, 2017, the Han Solo Star Wars Anthology film on May 25, 2018, Star Wars: Episode IX in 2019, and the third Star Wars Anthology film in 2020.
Earlier this year, Lucasfilm’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story made several unfavorable headlines when it became known that the film would be undergoing reshoots during the summer.
Christensen’s lack of a part in Rogue One is arguably a non-story, but many will be pleased to know that young Han Solo won’t be seen.
