When the Star Wars anthologies — now Star Wars stories — were announced , the intention would be that they were standalone , one - off films . They told a story , whether it was the larceny of the Death Star design , or the early aliveness of Han Solo , and then were done . But a new hearsay suggest that at least one Star Wars story could develop into its own franchise .

TheNew York Daily Newsis reporting that when hiringAlden Ehrenreich to play the young smuggler , Disney really ratify him on for a three - moving picture peck . The site ’s insider claim it ’s because executives at Lucasfilm and Disney are currently not just trance by the young actor ’s tryout , but with the idea that the Han Solo motion-picture show ( or films ) can tell a broad variety of stories within the Star Wars universe , that do n’t necessarily have to involve the champion fighting the Empire .

Although the whole point of these standalone picture show was to tell a one - and - done story , if there ’s truth to this report it makes a good bit of sense of Disney and Lucasfilm . Not only would it attach down Eherenreich for the electric potential to do more films , but it ’s also been very clear they desire to do a circumstances of stuff with Han Solo , even after the character perished in The Force Awakens . While projects like Rogue One might appease as one - offs , a grapheme like Han has too much potential to stick to just one picture .
