Star Wars Spin-Off Featuring Han Solo And Pirates?

After rumours that the new Star Wars spin-off would feature either Han Solo or a bunch of mercenaries, it looks as though both might be true…

After varying rumours that the new Star Wars spin-off would feature either Han Solo or a bunch of mercenaries, it looks as though both might be true…

Let’s be honest here – we still have no idea what the upcoming Star Wars spin-off will be about. No idea whatsoever. But we’ve heard plenty of rumours and speculation about what the plot might be. We’ve seen both Han Solo and Boba Fett linked to the upcoming movie, and even hints of a rather awesome-sounding heist movie.

But which rumour is true? It seems they might not be mutually exclusive…

Star Wars Spin-Off Stars Han Solo & Boba Fett?

According to Devin Faraci at Badass Digest, the first ever Star Wars spin-off could feature everything we’ve heard so far…

“MakingStarWars is hearing that [the first spin-off is a] solo Han Solo (which 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), but more than that they hear there’s a name attached to the movie: Aaron Paul.”

Of course, the rumour about Aaron Paul has been doing the rounds for a good few days now… but  could Han Solo feature alongside a band of space pirates?

It’s no secret that he’s one of the greatest smugglers in the galaxy far, far away… and it’s easy to see how Solo could become mixed up with a group of less-than-desirable characters.

Oscar Isaac Says Star Wars VII Rumours Are All Wrong

Unfortunately, we’ve still got no official confirmation of what the film will actually be about… so for now, it’s pretty much all guesswork. But I can’t help thinking that we might be getting closer. After all, Han Solo is one of the most iconic Star Wars heroes. And his rather chequered past would make for a quite a movie.

For now, we’ll have to wait and see. But there’s no match for a good blaster at your side. Especially when we’re talking about Star Wars spin-offs.

Do you think Han Solo will star in the first Star Wars spin-off? Will it combine elements of the rumours we’ve heard so far? Let us know what you think in the comments below…
