Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 Jump Street, Lego Movie) from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Jon Kasdan, the Force Awakens director recently told Fox News: “I can tell you it is an amazing script and the cast is obviously extraordinary.”

“I think it is a thrill to be a part of something that meant so much to me as a kid and to be part of allowing it to mean so much for kids now. It is fun to see it live on in various forms and ways even five years ago I would have never imagined it would have continued and knowing what is coming up is even more exciting,” he added.

The film will star Alden Ehrenreich (who will play a young Han Solo), as well as Game Of Thrones‘ Emilia Clarke, Woody Harrelson, Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) and Fleabag‘s Phoebe Waller-Bridge. See a cast photo here.
