   After an initial report from The Hollywood Reporter citing   
   unnamed sources, StarWars.com has confirmed that "LEGO   
   Movie" and "21 Jump Street" directing team Phil Lord and   
   Christopher Miller are taking on one of the Star Wars   
   spinoff feature films -- one starring a young Han Solo.   
      
   The film will feature a screenplay from "Force Awakens" and   
   "Empire Strikes Back" scripter Lawrence Kasdan as well as   
   his son Jon Kasdan. The story will be set before the events   
   of 1977's "Star Wars" and will focus on "how young Han Solo   
   became the smuggler, thief, and scoundrel whom Luke   
   Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi first encountered in the   
   cantina at Mos Eisley."   
      
   "We're so excited to be working with Chris and Phil, who   
   will bring a fresh new dimension to the Star Wars universe,"   
   said the Kasdans in the official release. "They're two of   
   the smartest, funniest and most original filmmakers around,   
   and the ideal choice to tell the story of Han Solo, one of   
   the coolest characters in the galaxy."   
      
   A spinoff starring a proto Solo has been rumored since the   
   in-betweenquels were first announced. The first one, "Rogue   
   One," will be directed by Gareth Edwards and is scheduled to   
   be released on December 16, 2016. THR makes sure to note   
   that this project is not the same one that Josh Trank was in   
   line to helm before he parted ways with Disney and   
   Lucasfilm. That project is still rumored to be a Boba Fett   
   origin and is still looking for a director.
