The HAN SOLO Film May Tell The Story of How Lando Lost the Millennium Falcon to Han
Last week it was officially announced that Donald Glover will be taking on the role of Lando Calrissian in Lucasfilm’s upcoming Han Solo movie. The announcement came with a little insight into what the plot of the film will entail:
[The Han Solo Star Wars Story movie is] bringing two iconic Star Wars characters back to the big screen, but at a time in their lives previously unexplored. This new film depicts Lando in his formative years as a scoundrel on the rise in the galaxy’s underworld — years before the events involving Han, Leia, and Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back and his rise to Rebel hero in Return of the Jedi.
There are now reports that offer us a little bit more information, and it involves the Millennium Falcon. The rumor originates from THR’s Borys Kit who says, “A couple of sources tell me the #HanSolo spin-off will tell how Lando Calrissian lost the Millennium Falcon to Han.”
A lot of fans were hoping that this part of Han and Lando’s history would be a part of the film, and it looks like that could actually be the case! It’s too early to tell, but we’ll learn more hard facts about the film as it continues to be developed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller.
The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on May 25, 2018.
