SOLO Writer Jon Kasdan Is Feeling Conflicted About a Potential Sequel to the STAR WARS Film

Solo: A Star Wars Story actually has a pretty strong fanbase! While it didn’t make a billion dollars at the box office, it was actually a really well-made movie that ended in a way that left fans wanting more. A lot of fans even enjoyed Alden Ehrenreich’s take on Han Solo.

I’m one of those fans that have been hoping to see the story continue in some way with a sequel or spinoff series. There has been a Lando series in development with Donald Gover attached, but it’s been a while since we’ve had any update on that. I hope it happens, though!

Anyway, Solo writer Jonathan Kasdan was recently asked about the possibility of a sequel and he explained that he’s been conflicted about it. He told ComicBookMovie:

“Yes, you know, I’ve been very conflicted about it over the past couple of years. I feel that too. I’m certainly one of those people, and when that time of year rolls around, immediately, my imagination goes to all the things we intended to do. But then, on the other side, I’m so overwhelmed by how much great Star Wars content is coming into the world at this moment. I’m excited for the movie that Damon Lindelof is going to make. I’m excited for another season of Andor, possibly the best Star Wars show in history. Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau are just knocking out great, fun pieces of candy every six months that we get to enjoy. You know, I think if there’s a reason for a Solo 2 is if there’s a great reason. Certainly, I’d be game if there were.”

Solo crossing paths with Darth Maul at some point was also brought up in the conversation and in regards to that, he said:

“Me too! That feels like there’s so much fun. That was another version of there were so many great characters we were able to establish and, for me, I guess the strangest argument for a Solo 2 is that the movie was Alden’s journey to owning that mantle. By the end of it, I thought he really did, and he didn’t get the fun of just inhabiting it for a movie. I’d love to see him back.”

I seriously doubt that we’ll ever see Ehrenreich back in the role of Solo again, but I hope that I’m wrong and that we get to see him encounter Darth Maul in some kind of project! But, we do have that Lando series coming, so that’s something to look forward to! That is… if it hasn’t been scrapped!
