Donald Glover is officially a young Lando Calrissian!
Lucasfilm announced today that Donald Glover, an acclaimed actor, award-winning writer, and Grammy-nominated artist, will be playing the part of Lando Calrissian in the still-untitled Han Solo Star Wars film, helmed by directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Glover will join Alden Ehrenreich — previously cast as Han Solo — in bringing two iconic Star Wars characters back to the big screen, but at a time in their lives previously unexplored. This new film depicts Lando in his formative years as a scoundrel on the rise in the galaxy’s underworld — years before the events involving Han, Leia, and Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back and his rise to Rebel hero in Return of the Jedi.
“We’re so lucky to have an artist as talented as Donald join us,” said Lord and Miller. “These are big shoes to fill, and an even bigger cape, and this one fits him perfectly, which will save us money on alterations. Also, we’d like to publicly apologize to Donald for ruining Comic-Con for him forever.”
Glover is best known for creating and starring in the critically acclaimed FX series Atlanta (which had the highest premiere numbers for any basic cable comedy show since 2013), as well as for starring in four seasons of the show Community, and for his Grammy-nominated album Because the Internet, performed under the name Childish Gambino. In addition, Glover appeared in the Academy Award-nominated The Martian, and will be seen in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming.
The untitled Han Solo movie is set for release in 2018.

Retcon the Skywalker Saga.
What if they muck it up again? Turn it into Spiderman, and keep on rebooting it every five years? Star Trek has been shit since JJ left. The last one was better, but not enough [Reply]

If Disney finds a good caretaker for the Star Wars Franchise then it will be good( Matthew Vaughan was attached but Kathleen Kennedy fucked it up)
Kennedy needs to be uninvolved with the project for to succeed. [Reply]
Prob already addressed but that certain appearance late in the movie is impossible no?
He was killed when Anakin was 6. Anakin was 20ish when he had Luke. Luke was 20ish when he met Han. (Therefore Han met Luke 34 years after this guy was killed which means that Han would have to be like 54 for that to be possible - andhe loooked 39-35 in Star Wars) [Reply]

That wasn't the question being asked. It has nothing to do with darth maul at all, it's about Han's age.
Let's try again: Anakin age 6, Maul killed. Anakin lives another 14 years before Luke comes. Luke is 20 when he meets Han. That means Han met Luke 34 years after Maul was killed.
But Han was 20 when Maul was alive here in this movie. Since we know Gan met Luke 34 years after Maul died, that means Han was 20+34 when he meets Luke. It doesn't work [Reply]
