Yesterday it was announced that the directing duo Phil Lord as well as Chris Miller, the minds behind such successful comedies equally The Lego Movie  and 22 Jump Street, had been chosen to straight the upcoming Han Solo spin-off for Lucasfilm. The pic is to endure written past times Lawrence as well as Joe Kasdan, Lawrence beingness something of a Star Wars veteran having written The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi as well as the upcoming 7th instalment. Meanwhile, Jon also has an extensive bibliography having written for the much-loved shows Freaks as well as Geeks and Dawson's Creek, as good equally other things that don't destination inwards "eek."

Lord as well as Miller had a suitably hilarious reply to the news, issuing this statement:

“This is the offset film we've worked on that seems similar a adept sentiment to commence with. We hope to take risks, to give the audience a fresh experience, as well as nosotros pledge ourselves to endure faithful stewards of these characters who hateful as well as then much to us. This is a dream come upward truthful for us. And non the sort of dream where you’re belatedly for locomote as well as all your clothing are made of pudding, but the sort of dream where yous teach to brand a cinema amongst roughly of the greatest characters ever, inwards a cinema franchise you've loved since earlier yous tin forcefulness out recollect having dreams at all.”

Personally, fifty-fifty inwards the really capable hands of Chris Lord as well as Phil Miller, I'm non certain that a standalone Han Solo cinema is a peculiarly adept idea. Harrison Ford's interpretation of the grapheme is as well as then deeply entrenched inwards pop civilization at this point, that it volition endure a hard line finding an instrumentalist amongst only equally much charisma equally Ford had inwards his prime. Additionally, at that topographic point is also the peril of the grapheme of Han Solo becoming less pop as well as respected equally a effect of delving likewise deeply into his past, something Darth Vader suffered from afterwards his early on adventures were chronicled inwards the prequel trilogy.

That beingness said, if Lord as well as Miller tin forcefulness out choose the wit as well as pump that they've brought to their previous projects, there's a adept gamble they powerfulness only describe this off.
