While we’ll likely have to wait a bit for a full confirmed cast list, another rumor surfaced last month that Donnie Yen’s character Chirrut Imwe, from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, may appear in Han Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Earlier this month, Woody Harrelson signed on to star in Disney and LucasFilm’s new spin-off Han Solo: A Star Wars Story.
During an interview at the Sundance Film Festival, Woody Harrelson confirmed that he is in fact playing Garris Shrike, a very important character in the Star Wars canon.
It’s worth noting that in the novel The Paradise Snare, Shrike catches up with Han Solo 10 years after they first met, when he comes to collect a bounty on Han Solo.
