It’s that time of the year again where we celebrate all things Star Wars and a galaxy far, far away! May The 4th is always honored as “Star Wars Day” in the world, and to celebrate it here’s a throwback to 2018 when “Solo: A Star Wars Story” was released and a couple of cosplay friends and I suited up aboard a pretty good set of the Millennium Falcon!
May The 4th Be With You wherever you are always, and Happy Star Wars day!✨
Set for release later this month and bringing Star Wars fans straight to the early days of a certain smuggler pilot, his Wookie friend, their allies and a certain legendary ship - Disney and Lucasfilm have released a very neat featurette for "Solo: A Star Wars Story" that sees Lando Calrissian actor Donald Glover take fans on a tour around the Millennium Falcon - the famous ship that has played an integral part in the original and sequel Star Wars movies and now makes its chronological first voyage in this prequel spin-off film.

With the world focusing its attention on the inevitable release of the next canonical Star Wars chapter with "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" this December, the folks at Disney and Lucasfilm via the official Star Wars website saw it fit to tease everyone with their next spin-off project - that being a photo featuring the entire cast in the upcoming "Han Solo" spin-off hitting on 2018. Starring Alden Ehrenreich as the younger Han Solo, he will be joined by Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke,Donald Glover as a younger Lando Calrissian, Thandie Newton, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Joonas Suotamo steps in to be the big guy himself, Chewbacca. Filming commenced in February 20, and it's going to be well over a year til we see the smuggler and his early adventures in the big screen next year.
Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the untitled Han Solo film will be released on May 25, 2018.
HOLY COMEBACKS BATMAN! In what will certainly make fans of the Batman movies as well as Lando Calrissian of Star Wars fame happy, actor Billy Dee Williams has revealed that he will be voicing the villainous "Two-Face" in next year's "The Lego Batman Movie", as confirmed by director Chris McKay on his Twitter. Those who remember Tim Burton's epic 1989 Batman movie will know that Williams portrayed District Attorney Harvey Dent - the charming and steadfast lawyer who fought on the side of the law to protect Gotham City's streets from crime. Sadly the actor was replaced by Tommy Lee Jones in "Batman Forever" when director Joel Schumacher took over for Burton and continued his film universe. Now it appears that justice has been done, and Williams will get the opportunity to play Harvey's "bad side" and half-scarred visage when The Lego Batman movie hits theaters!
