For our MakeSolo2Happen friends: Writer JonKasdan tells us he wants Jon Favreau to help those Solo storylines continue in the StarWars universe!
As the Star Wars franchise continues its small screen expansion, Solo: A Star Wars story writer Jonathan Kasdan has offered teases of which characters from the film could return. Kasdan took over writing credits on the anthology movie when his father, Lawrence Kasdan, was tapped by Lucasfilm and Disney to pen the script for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Alden Ehrenreich led the cast of Solo: A Star Wars Story as a young Han in his early days in the criminal underworld where he meets his future companion Chewbacca and sets out on a dangerous heist. Alongside Ehrenreich, the cast for the film included Donald Glover as a young Lando Calrissian, Emilia Clarke, Woody Harrelson, Thandiwe Newton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca and Paul Bettany.
"I think someday we're gonna see what happened, and how Qi'ra advanced through the world and through the crime syndicates. I've talked to Jon Favreau about it; he's a big fan of that movie and some of the stuff we built out. I always say,"Well, you're the guy to figure it out." I always look to him to keep the story alive and keep it going. Star Wars is going in so many fun directions.
While a variety of plot threads were left open by the end of the film, one of the biggest that audiences have continued to cite as needing expansion is that of Emilia Clarke's Qi'ra. The action-packed climax saw Qi'ra kill Paul Bettany's Vos and take command of the criminal empire the Crimson Dawn and being called by Darth Maul to venture to Dathomir to meet him and plan a course for their future.
Audiences have also expressed interest in seeing Solo's Enfys Nest make her way back to the Star Wars universe in the future, with actress Erin Kellyman herself saying she would totally play the character again if the opportunity arose.
