Little is currently known about Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s standalone Han Solo movie. We don’t even know who will be playing the younger version of everyone’s favorite scruffy-looking nerf-herder, although a shortlist has been released. Given Han’s friendship with a certain wookie, however, we all figured that Chewbacca would appear in the film. At the Deutsche Bank 2016 Media, Internet & Telecom Conference, Disney chief Bob Iger revealed that Chewie is indeed on board.
According to The Wrap, Iger said that the Han Solo film will “come after Star Wars 8 in 2018. And then there’ll be possibly be more thereafter.” Iger additionally discussed Star Wars: Rogue One, confirming that it will be set before A New Hope and be “about a band of rebels plotting to steal the plans to the Death Star.”
It’s still remains unclear how large of a role Chewbacca will have in the Han Solo movie. He could either be a major player or reduced to a minor cameo. In any case, we’re all eager to see Han and Chewie together again.
