Young Han Solo film teases the presence of the Empire in new still

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

So my interest in this solo HAN SOLO film plummeted when it was announced previous directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord – of 21 JUMP STREET and CLONE HIGH fame – were fired. While I like the cast, especially Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo and Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, I am less than thrilled that Ron Howard is taking over. Nothing against the guy – he makes serviceable-to-great films, depending on the material – just that I know he won’t take the kinds of risks Miller and Lord would.
Especially after they were fired specifically for taking chances.

Anyway, Ron Howard went on Twitter to tweet this ominous image:

I mean, it’s STAR WARS…why wouldn’t the Empire loom large? Anyway, what do you guys think of the new HAN SOLO movie? Either way, sound off below!

Meanwhile, YOUNG HAN SOLO will shoot first in theaters May 25th, 2018.
