00:45Howard took over directing duties in June after Phil Lord and Chris Miller were let go due to creative differences
00:51between the duo and Lawrence Kasdan, the veteran screenwriter who pinned the script with his son.
00:56Howard has been teasing set pieces and character hints on Twitter for the past few months,

01:06and keeping warm with Kasdan on a chilly Corellian night. But almost all of those teases included the hashtag
01:12UntitledHanSoloMovie. Now we know that Solo A Star Wars Story will be the film hitting theaters May 25th, 2018.
01:20Meanwhile, there's only two months left until the next Star Wars film when The Last Jedi opens on December 15th.
