New Details On Gareth Edwards' STAR WARS Spinoff; May Not Feature Bounty Hunters
Remember those reports that Gareth Edwards' 2016 Star Wars spinoff will feature a team of bounty hunters? Well, it now appears as if the team that the movie focuses on will be quite a bit different. Hit the jump for details on that and possibly an update on Han Solo's role...
A pretty dubious sounding rumour recently started doing the rounds which indicated that Han Solo might play a role in the first Star Wars spinoff movie which is dated for 2016. Gareth Edwards is directing, and the same site which broke the story mentioned above also indicated that Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul could end up playing a role (many have since linked him to Han Solo even though there original report didn't). As hard as it is to believe, it does make some sense, especially as we recently learned from a far more reliable source that the spinoff will focus on a team of bounty hunters hired by the Rebels to steal the plans of the first Death Star AND that the Millennium Falcon will factor into the movie somehow. Badass Digest however have weighed in on the rumour, and they mention that this, "matches up with what I've heard recently, that the first film is about a group of 'pirates' as opposed to 'bounty hunters,' which could easily include young Mr. Solo." This does make a little more sense, as a roguish team of heroes would in some ways work better than a group of mercenaries who we saw working with Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back...
