Harrelson’s other notable credits in recent years include Zombieland, the Now You See Me movies, Seven Psychopaths, Triple 9, The Edge of Seventeen and True Detective Season 1.
Even better, Harrelson is perfect for playing someone almost exactly like Han Solo: primarily laid back, but determined when necessary.
If Woody Harrelson is cast as Han Solo’s mentor, it would be familiar territory for the actor, as he played Haymitch Abernathy, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark’s mentor, in the Hunger Games series.
While we don’t know yet how Han Solo got his start as a smuggler in the official Star Wars canon, having Han learn the tricks of the trade from someone would make sense.
