Star Wars news: Woody Harrelson just made a HUGE claim about the Han Solo spin-off movie
STAR WARS’ upcoming Han Solo movie is certainly going to make a big impression, according to one of its stars - Woody Harrelson.
Woody Harrelson says the Han Solo movie will be the BEST Star Wars film
In fact, the acclaimed actor has been so bold as to declare that it will be the best Star Wars movie of all time.
In a new interview, he indicated that each of the past movies in the franchise have been slightly let down by one component or another.
This one, however - which doesn’t even have a title yet - will apparently fix that.
Speaking to Collider, he said: “You know, any movie’s only as good as the director or in this case directors.
Woody's role in the spin-off is as yet unknown
Harrison Ford played Harrison Ford in the main trilogy
I really feel like we’re gonna make the best one
“And so I have a suspicion - because if you look at the whole, all the movies, the backlog of every one of these movies, there’s a lot of great stuff, but one might not be not as good with the writing in this or the acting in that or the directing in that.
“This has great actors, great directors, great script, and I really feel like we’re gonna make the best one.”
Harrelson’s role in the film is not yet known, but Alden Ehrenreich is the star who has been tasked with portraying Harrison Ford’s iconic character as a younger man.
He appears alongside Emilia Clarke, Thandie Newton and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, whose roles are also as-yet-unknown.
The cast is certainly promising

What is known is that Donald Glover is playing the young Lando Calrissian, and Joonas Suotamo will be Chewbacca.
Elsewhere, writer Gary Whitta - who penned Rogue One and episodes of Rebels - has revealed which one niche character is highly unlikely to appear in any Star Wars films because some at Lucasfilm “hate” him.
The Han Solo movie is aiming for a May 25, 2018 release.
