Is Chewie going to have a reason to be jealous? Variety reports that the young Han Solo movie is going to feature a new CG character that'll be played by Pheobe Waller-Bridge. No other details are provided, but whoever she's playing will apparently be "a significant part of the ensemble, similarly to key Star Wars characters like Chewbacca and C-3P0". 

Waller-Bridge should be recognizable to our British readers from the likes of Broadchurch and Drifters, and has recently found critical acclaim for her Amazon series Fleabag, which she created and stars in.

The still untitled Han Solo movie recently commenced production and is set to hit theaters on May 25, 2018. The film will also star Donald Glover, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke and Alden Ehrenreich as the budding space smuggler of the title.

Maybe as a droid. We haven't really seen a female one yet, have we?

I wonder if people really like Glover's Lando if we might see a Lando-centric solo film in the future.

@IronGenesis - Well they do exist.

Personally, I want them to start mixing the Prequel asthetic into the new films. That is to say the "new" species of the Prquels (Togruta, Keldor, Nemodian etc) shoudl be appearing in the films , even just in the background.
Say what you want about the story of the prequels (i grew up with them and love it) but the Era itself as so much potential.
They will eventually have to have them in the back ground.

Taika's a genius:

Interviewer- "Would you ever be interested in making a dark drama, or something with no comedy at all?"

Taika- "Nah. Zero interest. So what I’m saying is I never want to go to an awards ceremony."

@ScarletWarlock - The thing is, I kind of love that guy, but he's just so damn smug about how clever he is.
