Star Wars Han Solo spin-off title released
It went down well with fans on social media.
Star Wars’ Han Solo spin-off will be titled Solo: A Star Wars Story, director Ron Howard has announced.
The filmmaker unveiled the eagerly-awaited movie’s name in a video message on Twitter as he confirmed production on the film had wrapped.
He thanked an “incredibly talented” cast and crew for their hard work on the film which stars Alden Ehrenreich as Solo alongside Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Thandie Newton and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
It is scheduled for release on May 25 2018 and has endured a tumultuous production schedule after directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were replaced by Howard in June this year over reported creative differences with Lucasfilm.
The film’s title went down well with fans on social media.
