Due for release in theaters in 2018 the Han Solo spinoff movie, likely to be called Han Solo: A Star Wars Story will be directed by LEGO movie helmers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. As previously reported, Alden Ehrenreich is currently the forerunner for the role of everyone's favorite smuggler, although Jack Raynor (Transformers: Age of Extinction) and Taron Egerton are also reportedly in contention for the much-coveted role.
Eager to begin production, half of the directorial team Miller has tweeted a familiar prop from the movie...

As Star Wars fans we expect the Han Solo will likely bring together all that audiences associate with the character such as the Millennium Falcon, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian and Boba Fett. If the latter is to appear in the movie could that mean the planned Boba Fett spinoff has been shelved, possibly replaced with an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie?
