Han Solo Anthology Film to be Lawrence Kasdan's Final Star Wars Film

Lawrence Kasdan's return to the Star Wars universe appears to be nearing its end.  The screenwriter, who's credits include The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens, and the upcoming 2018 Han Solo Anthology film, told the German Tabloid Bild that the Han Solo film would be his last Star Wars film.  Kasdan cited his family as being the main reason he decided to do the Han Solo film (which he co-wrote with his son Jon) and that he wanted to get back into directing films.

The good news is we still have two more Lawrence Kasdan Star Wars movies to see, with The Force Awakens being released this December and the Han Solo Anthology film slated for a May 25th, 2018 release date (with The Lego Movie's Phil Lord and Chris Miller directing).

I would much rather an Obi Wan anthology film. Recasting Han Solo is a big gamble. At least everyone is used to Ewan McGregor playing Obi Wan.

John I would guess that they will go back in time and show Han from his early years.

My main concern with recasting is that unless the movie takes place during Han's childhood, there's not not enough time between the events of ANH and the Han Solo movie. That is, there's not a whole lot of difference between a 20-yr-old Han or the 30-something Han we saw in ANH...And I don't think anyone wants to see Han as a kid. That's not even taking in account trying to find somebody that can accurately capture Ford's swagger and personality.

Totally agree. I couldn't care less about a young Han. You just can't recast that.
