Han Solo will be getting a spin-off series. And we think it's important to mention that, no, this is not a rumor.
Directors Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, the guys who directed "The Lego Movie," have agreed to work on an anthology project focused on a young Solo. (Video via ScreenSlam)
That's a good point, Chewie. I'm not sure how much I'd enjoy a solo-Han act without you either. Which is why we're proposing three other Star Wars characters who could, or should, get spin-offs. (Video via Lucasfilm)
First off: Admiral Ackbar.
"This is a ploy! No. It's a ruse! No. It's an ambush! A subterfuge — no. A confining device! A snare; a box propped up with a stick. It's a frap! It's a wrap! Where's my hat? It's a trap," shouted Admiral Ackbar.
OK, maybe there's only one line he's really know for. But because of that, there's so much room to expand and make him into a character we'd love to watch.
We already think Han is awesome. So one wrong move could cause the series to fail really, really quickly.
Next up: Jango Fett.
The original Fett died in "Episode II: Attack of the Clones" and we really never got to learn that much about him.
On the other hand, we learned a lot about his son, and weren't that impressed. But Boba's actually getting a spin off. It was announced in May.
Last but not least: Lobot!
Lobot was a potentially awesome character that only appeared in one Star Wars film: "Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back." Where'd he get that headgear from in the first place?
Plus we're already obsessed with the delicate line being drawn between humans and robots. A Lobot spin-off could be right up there in popularity with "Battlestar Galactica" or "Star Trek." (Videos via Syfy, CBS, Universal Studios, and Orion Pictures)
These suggestions aside, this Han Solo spin-off is happening. And it's set for release May 24, 2018.
