While the Star Wars franchise kind of went a bit quiet after the prequels, it seems that in the next few years we should expect the opposite. Last year we got Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and this year we will be getting Rogue One. However if that isn’t enough, how about a standalone Han Solo movie?
Fans have probably heard that such a movie is in the works, but now according to a report from Star Wars News, it seems that the movie will begin filming in January 2017. This was revealed by one of the movie’s writers, Lawrence Kasdan (who also wrote Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, for those wondering).
Naturally details and the title of the movie are not known at this point in time, but for those who can’t get enough of Star Wars, we guess this is worth looking forward to. The movie is currently scheduled to be released in May of 2018 which means that we still have quite a bit of waiting to do, but like we said, Rogue One is coming out later this year.
Also let’s not forget Star Wars Episode 8 is also released next year, so we guess fans will have their fill of Star Wars movies and content before then.
