Fans of the Dark Horse STAR WARS comics might be plenty surprised to find a couple of goofballs from yesteryear hangin' around the HAN SOLO spin-off. Recently-appointed director Ron Howard uploaded a photo from the set of the film that shows none other than Tag and Bink, stars of the miniseries Tag and Bink Are Dead.
Though somewhat of obscure characters, Tag and Bink have become cult favorites for older
STAR WARS fans for their Forrest Gump-like adventures throughout the original and prequel trilogies, crossing paths with nearly every major character and accidentally influencing the overarching
STAR WARS plots.
As for the film incarnations, Tag and Bink are portrayed by the film's screenwriter Jon Kasdan and first assistant director Toby Heffernan.
The characters' creator and writer of the Tag and Bink comics, Kevin Rubio, had a bit of a fanboy moment when he saw the image as well:
The as-of-now untitled
HAN SOLO film is scheduled to open May 25th, 2018, and will star Alden Ehrenreich as the titular smuggler, Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian and Woody Harrelson as Beckett.
