Woody Harrelson on Star Wars, Jack Nicholson and Having Trust Issues #HanSoloEvent

Woody Harrelson SOLO #HanSoloEvent

Woody Harrelson doesn’t trust me. The prolific actor has come quite a long way from his bartending days on TV’s Cheers. He’s been in dozens upon dozens of popular films, including huge properties like The Hunger Games. But none have had quite the legacy and fan base as Star Wars.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge L3-37 #HanSoloEvent

A Star Wars movie wouldn’t be a Star Wars movie without droids. You can rest easy, though, because SOLO: A Star Wars Story doesn’t just have droids, it has L3-37.

Paul Bettany SOLO #HanSoloEvent

British-born actor Paul Bettany is one lucky guy. For starters, he’s British so he has that really cool accent. Then there’s the fact that he’s married to actress Jennifer Connelly.

Director Ron Howard on Dinosaurs, the Complexity of Star Wars and Turning Down SOLO

Ron Howard SOLO #HanSoloEvent

Ron Howard should not be in Hollywood. It’s not that he isn’t talented. Far from it. The former Opie Taylor from The Andy Griffith Show and Richie Cunningham of Happy Days blossomed into an incredible award winning director. Apollo 13. A Beautiful Mind. The Da Vinci Code. Cinderella Man. Parenthood. And his latest out-of-the-galaxy hit, SOLO: A Star Wars Story. No, Ron Howard most certainly is talented. It’s just that he’s also so darn likable! When …
