Han Solo won't be in Rogue One

Alrighty so there's a new Star Wars movie out this week and its the first theatrically released movie in the franchise which isn't part of the numbered flicks originally conceived by George Lucas.

This first spin off is a pretty big deal, and its setting up all manner of things to come, including a dedicated movie for the great Han Solo himself, as played by young Alden Ehrenreich. That's going to be lots of fun when it debuts in a couple of years but a recent rumour had suggested we might get to see the character early, with a cameo in Rogue One.

That's not true though, at least according to Rogue One director Gareth Edwards, who should probably know.
