Ron Howard says Star Wars Solo Sequel not a Priority

Ron Howard says Star Wars Solo Sequel not a Priority

Any hopes that ‘Solo’ fans held about an future sequel cooled-off faster than temperatures at night on the planet of Hoth. Ron Howard who directed ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ addressed rumors of a sequel by saying, “”The only discussion that I’m aware of about a sequel for Solo is coming from the fans at this point…I don’t think it’s a Lucasfilm priority, as I understand it.”

This statement is not surprising given Solo’s performance at the box-office. The film struggled bringing in $36 million over opening weekend, falling woefully short of expectations for a Star Wars theatrical film. Another origin story, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story raked in $155 million during its 2016 debut weekend. Solo would eventually gross $393.2 million worldwide.

Donald Glover had hoped to reprise his role, playing Lando Calrissian in a spinoff series, but producer Kathleen Kennedy walked back any and all speculation of that project. Lucasfilm has yet to commit to any further projects featuring characters from the film itself.

Despite the bleak outlook on future Solo films, Howard hasn’t completely given up hope saying, “The folks from Lucasfilm love the fans and really do listen, so I would never say never. But I’m not aware of any concrete plans right now to extend the story or deal with that particular set of characters.”

Do you want to see Alden Ehrenreich, Emilia Clark, and Donald Glover return for another ‘Solo’ project? It seems logical that Solo could fly again on the streaming service Dinsey+ as a viable alternative to a theatrical release. After all, given the critical acclaim that Andor received, fans are hungry for more stories in the Star Wars universe. If Ron Howard is busy, his daughter could certainly take the helm of a potential series. Let us know in a comment how you feel about ‘Solo’ and it future prospects.
