The first Star Wars spin-off (anthology) movie, Rogue One, which Gareth Edwards is directing, will debut in theaters on December 16, 2016 (see “Male Lead Cast for Star Wars: Rogue One”). The new Han Solo Star Wars spin-off should not be confused with the Star Wars Anthology film that Josh Trank (Fantastic Four) left recently (see “Second Star Wars Anthology Film Loses Director”).
The film that Trank was to direct (and which is still in development) is a Boba Fett origin story—and should not be confused with the Han Solo saga that Miller and Lord are prepping for 2018.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Miller and Lord’s involvement in the Star Wars spin-off film puts their efforts on a Flash movie for Warner Bros. in serious doubt (see “The Flash Movie Treatment”).
