Yes, you read that headline correctly. A couple of classic Star Wars comic book characters have managed to make their way into the untitled Han Solo standalone film! Tag and Bink are canon!
Director Ron Howard stirred up the fanbase earlier today when he posted a photo on Twitter of himself on set with a duo of Imperial officers with the caption; "TagAndBink?". Of course, this led to a flurry of excitement coming from fans of the comics, and even the creator of Tag and Bink, Kevin Rubio, shared his reaction to the news. Soon after Jon Kasdan, who co-wrote the Han Solo film with his father Lawrence Kasdan, further confirmed that Tag and Bink are indeed in the film, and that himself and first assistant director Toby Hefferman will be playing the parts:

Thank You, Kevin. I'm a huge fan and I had to get 'em in there, and then had to play it myself (with Toby Hefferman) to do it justice— Jon Kasdan (@JonKasdan) October 14, 2017
For those who aren't familiar with the characters, Tag Greenley and Bink Otauna starred in a handful of comics series in the early 2000's, debuting in their very own comic series, "Tag & Bink Are Dead", on October 3rd, 2001. Tag and Bink are best known for their humorous storylines which intertwined with the plotlines of the Original and Prequel Trilogies and had them crossing paths with many of the main characters of the saga. A great example of their adventures can be seen below:
