    So I've been hearing about new planets that will show up in the solo Han Solo movie, Han Solo: A Han Solo Story. Long known but never seen, they sound interesting!

    Just hope Corellia Stays a Urban/Jungle Planet, and doesn't become another Desert Locations.

    I'm firmly in the camp that thinks this movie will still release in May. If they were going to delay it, they would have announced it when RH was appointed.

    However, I can't imagine that we'll get any new info October to December, so as not to interfere with TLJ. That means that if we don't get any info in the next few weeks, we will head into January with no title, images or trailer. Insane!

    I have to think that we will get a title at some point soon, but yeah... I imagine that it is going to be quiet on the Solo front until TLJ hits theatres.

    MSW seemed very certain about this in their Sept 15 podcast. So I'd guess it's a good bet we'll see both Corellia (which fans have been waiting forever to see) and the mines of Kessel.

    This is pretty big news! Where is everyone?

    ETA: I'd also like for Corellia to borrow from some of the junk planet concept art created for TFA. Perhaps for the Imperial shipyards or something. Like this one (bottom image):

    Well apparently Ronny Is still In Paris so unless they are Filming In Paris or Ron has his assistant Director Directing scenes In London or Ron Howard Is taking a short Chunnel ride back and forth?.

    I'm rather partial to the Fantasy Flight Games take on Corellia. They had some beautiful art in it.

    I was hoping that wouldn't happen, but it's been a possibility whether that random website knows anything or not...

    Alan Horn, The Walt Disney Studios Chairman: “[Rogue One] is terribly important to us because we all know that we could do Star Wars VII – which was The Force Awakens – and we’ll have a Star Wars VIII, and we could continue that progression of Star Wars-related films which are really a function of what’s going on with the Skywalker family and what happened to Han Solo and all of that. To have a picture [Rogue One] that celebrates the Star Wars universe in a more peripheral manner – call it a standalone film – and to have the audience [think], ‘oh this is still a part of the Star Wars universe’ and ‘we like this stuff’ and in fact ‘we love it’ and it was important to us to include in this experience [some] of the original John Williams music even though Michael Giacchino did it. So we want the audience to see familiar characters from the Star Wars that they know and love – like Darth Vader and so on – and it all ties together. So this is very exciting for us.” (December 10, 2016)

    Oh, it's certainly possible that Vader appears in the film. And if done sparingly (and if he doesn't come into contact with Han), I'm not against it. Just don't trust that the website has an inside scoop, that's all.

    Him being in the Obi-wan movie, in some way, makes sense. He is too good for this movie.

    We've seen that set in spy images before, but not these exact images. Looks great.

    Yeah. I don't see the problem with using the most iconic character in the franchise again. If it happens, it's surely going to be done sparingly, ala Rogue One.

    The potential issue with Vader being in this film is simple, it could easily feel like pure fanservice, distracting fanservice. Like even Vader being in RO made sense since he was involved with the Death Star stuff in ANH to (and they used him sparingly in RO).

    Pre-ANH Han was a small-time smuggler, there's no evidence that Vader even knew who he was let alone that they'd actually crossed paths, and Han was a tiny blip in the Empire's radar, at best. So Vader's inclusion isn't immediately as obvious here.

    Now how it could maybe work imo, is if they do an ESB-type of scene. Like the main villain/antagonist, whomever it ends up being, talks with a hologram Vader (like Vader does with Sheev in ESB), or perhaps meets with Vader in-person, and then the latter explains the situation and gives said main villain their marching orders. That could maybe work.

    Looks like Howard tweeted a pic yesterday with the caption "spicey?" Either he's toying with folks or it is the spice mines of Kessel...

    I think the latter is more likely.
