There is no doubt that Han Solo fans are already looking forward to the upcoming 'Star Wars Anthology' film about the wise-cracking smuggler.
Although not much is known about the Han Solo standalone film, Kathleen Kennedy wants the fans to know that the film will do justice to the captain of the Millennium Falcon.
The Lucasfilm president recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly about 'Star Wars Anthology: Han Solo,' where she confirmed that the film will be careful in choosing the right details to show.
"There's got to be a reason for [the stand-alone film] to be," Kennedy said. "And obviously the thing that 'Star Wars' has always done so well is it doesn't spend a lot of time [explaining] the stories that have come before. We don't want to do that either. We don't want to spend time going back and answering a lot of questions that, quite frankly, I don't think people want answered."

Luckily, the Han Solo standalone film will not just be listing down a list of events that the smuggler went through before his appearance in 'Episode IV: A New Hope.' But what exactly will the movie reveal about Han Solo?
Kennedy admits they are still figuring that out. "I think the key here is that we are identifying an event or events in Han Solo's life that gives you some idea of who he is and why he is the character we have all known to love," she said.
There is also a good reason why '21 Jump Street' directors were chosen to helm the standalone film.
"You can imagine, given who we've chosen to come in and direct, it should be very entertaining and funny," Kennedy said. "Han Solo is the character inside 'Star Wars' that everybody knows has a wit and sense of humor. So that's what this should be."
But will the film feature a pre-pubescent Han Solo?
"He'll definitely be probably in the high teens, low 20s," the Lucasfilm president said. "We're not introducing you to a 10-year-old Han Solo."
The 'Star Wars Anthology' Han Solo standalone film will be released on May 25, 2018.
