The young Han Solo movie might have a young Lando too

There's a Star Wars spin off movie in the works that will focus on the young Han Solo and we might see some of his friends too

Not so many years back if you told fans a solo Han Solo (hah!) movie was in the works they would have been up in arms but after the success of The Force Awakens and the rock solid release pattern crafted by Disney and Lucasfilm it's now starting to sound seriously exciting.

The film is being developed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the folks behind The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street who seemingly can do no wrong despite how ridiculous the set up is. They've cast 26 year old Alden Ehrenreich in the part which is around 10 years younger than Ford was in A New Hope, which makes sense for events taking place midway between episodes three and four.
