Aaron Paul Responds to Han Solo Movie Rumors
A rumor recently spread across the Internet that Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul is up for a role in the Han Solo Star Wars spin-off film being developed at Lucasfilm. Now there was no word on who he would be playing, but he doesn’t seem to fit the Han Solo mold, so I imagine it would be another character, if the rumor is even true.
The actor responded to the rumors in a Tweet that said:
Who's starting these rumors? This one is actually making me believe I have a job in 2015. Very exciting. #StarWars

Paul recently took part in in a live-reading of The Empire Strikes Back for Jason Reitman. I imagine that’s what sparked the rumor in the first place. I think it’d be great to see the actor in the Star Wars universe, just maybe not as Solo.
