Chewbacca Will Return in ‘Star Wars: Han Solo’ Spinoff
In the original Star Wars trilogy, Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and his wookie co-pilot Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) were often inseparable, at each other’s sides through the duration of George Lucas’ beloved movies, and the current blockbuster Star Wars: The Force Awakens. In just over two short years, fans will get to see a much younger version of this smuggler in Star Wars Anthology: Han Solo, which is set for release on May 25, 2018. While Disney still hasn’t cast Han Solo quite yet, studio CEO Robert A. Iger revealed during Deutsche Bank’s 24th Annual Media, Internet and Telecom Conference (via The Wrap), that Chewbacca will be present for this “origin story.” Here’s what he had to say about the studio’s Star Wars lineup.

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Almost Had a Yoda Cameo
Star Wars: The Force Awakens went through quite a few rewrites and changes over the course of three years. And we’ve heard a lot about certain classic characters that almost made the cut. Jedi master Yoda may have gotten closest of all, but alas, most of his scenes were cut from the movie, except for a few quick snippets of dialogue. Yoda would have reappeared as a Force Ghost, just as he did at the end of Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi. But that idea was nixed early on in the process. The Force Awakens editors Maryann Brandon and Mary Jo Markey revealed to ET that the diminutive green warrior was being considered for the sequel. They even went so far as to have original Yoda puppeteer Frank Oz come in and participate. Continue reading

Star Wars: Episode VIII pushed to Open December 15, 2017
Disney and Lucasfilm announced that Star Wars: Episode VIII, originally scheduled for release in summer 2017, will now debut on December 15, 2017.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will still be released December 16, 2016.
The move makes sense. Not only does it give director Rian Johnson, who is rumored to be doing major rewrites, more time, it will now mirror the release schedule of The Force Awakens, which is still enjoying massive success over a month after release thanks to a lack of competition. The May release, the traditional date for the previous six Star Wars movies, would mean stiffer competition from other summer blockbusters.
