No thanks, I'm good.
So, a tiny snippet of information regarding the Star Wars Han Solo movie has been cajoled from those in the know. Specially, WHEN the movie will be set.
Wanna know?
The information, apparently, has been out on the interwebs since the 21st of December in which the Directors Guild of America had a Q & Session with Star Wars screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan and J.J. Abrams and then posted it on Youtube (I’ve put the video at the bottom of the post).
Kasdan will be writing the Star Wars Han Solo movie, but was more than a little hesitant to get back involved in the Star Wars franchise.
“I wasn’t sure I wanted to be involved. And I was a little relieved when they said Michael Arndt had been hired to write ‘Episode VII,’ because whoever writes that episode, I don’t know what you do with it. But they said, ‘Here are these other stories we’d like to do.’ And the one that caught my attention was a young Han Solo because that’s my favorite character,” he explained.
With the conversation in full flow, Kasdan then shared just exactly when the Star Wars Han Solo movie will be set.
“It will not be here’s where he was born and this is how he was raised. I think what it will be is, what was he like 10 years earlier, maybe a little earlier, you’ll get a glimpse”
“But Kurosawa once said the heroes are the ones that are still changing and the villains are locked and petrified into what they are. And Harrison embodies in Force Awakens someone who is still not settled on who he is.”
Pretty interesting stuff, huh? Now here’s that video of the full Q&A session I promised.
TL;DR: The Star Wars Han Solo movie will be set around about ten years before A New Hope.
