Ron Howard’s latest Han Solo Star Wars set photo features a new R2 unit

August 3, 2017 by Gary Collinson

It seems a day doesn’t go by without Ron Howard giving us a peek at Lucasfilm’s Han Solo Star Wars Anthology movie, and sure enough he’s been back on social media today, unveiling a behind-the-scenes image of himself alongside a brand new R2 unit…

Howard also shared a second photo of a different kind of droid hard at work…

Meanwhile, the filmmaker also spoke briefly to THR about his excitement over the project (which saw him stepping in as a late replacement following the firing of Phil Lord and Chris Miller), stating that: “It’s a fantastic script, a great cast and I am having a fantastic creative experience with it.”

Han Solo stars Alden Ehrenreich (Hail, Caesar!) as the famous smuggler, Donald Glover (Atlanta) as Lando Calrissian, Woody Harrelson (War for the Planet of the Apes) as Beckett (Solo’s mentor), Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca and Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag), Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones), Thandie Newton (Westworld), Ian Kenny (Sing Street), Michael K. Williams (The Night Of) and Warwick Davis (Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi) in as-yet-unrevealed roles. It is set for release on May 25th 2018.
