Great news, Star Wars fans – there’s going to be a spin-off film about a young Han Solo!

And the even greater news – the guys behind* The Lego Movie* are going to be directing it!

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are joining forces with Lucasfilm for an Anthology spinoff based around young Han Solo.

It is due to be released on 25 May, 2018.

The directing duo said: "This is the first film we've worked on that seems like a good idea to begin with. We promise to take risks, to give the audience a fresh experience, and we pledge ourselves to be faithful stewards of these characters who mean so much to us.

"This is a dream come true for us. And not the kind of dream where you're late for work and all your clothes are made of pudding, but the kind of dream where you get to make a film with some of the greatest characters ever, in a film franchise you've loved since before you can remember having dreams at all."

But who will play young Han Solo?

Well, Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul was once linked to playing a young Han Solo in a Star Wars spin-off, but there is no indication that he is involved with this particular film.
