According to StarWars.com, Lucasfilm announced that yet another film is set to be made in the newly minted Star Wars Anthology series. This film will revolve around a young Han Solo’s exploits as a smuggler and scoundrel across the universe. The script has already been written by Star Wars Vet Lawrence Kasdan along with son Jon Kasdan of Freaks and Geeks fame and is set to be directed by Phil Lord & Chris Miller of Lego Movie/Jump Street series fame. When asked for comment, they stated:

“This is the first film we’ve worked on that seems like a good idea to begin with. We promise to take risks, to give the audience a fresh experience, and we pledge ourselves to be faithful stewards of these characters who mean so much to us. This is a dream come true for us. And not the kind of dream where you’re late for work and all your clothes are made of pudding, but the kind of dream where you get to make a film with some of the greatest characters ever, in a film franchise you’ve loved since before you can remember having dreams at all.”

Considering the talent behind this project, it does appear to be moving in the right direction with a tone that will be both suited to the Star Wars universe as well as a fun, lighthearted fare. While there is no word who is playing Han Solo in this film, no doubt the internet will be calling for Chris Pratt to take another job away from Harrison Ford even before he takes the first one. The film is slated to reach theaters Memorial Day weekend 2018.
