Han Solo is back, and younger than ever.
A new Star Wars spinoff film has been announced, centering on Han Solo's origin story. The film will be directed by Chris Miller and Phil Lord, the same duo who brought you The Lego Movie.
Now that the film is in the works, it's time to figure out which lucky young actor will take up Harrison Ford's iconic role. Who could possibly capture both Ford's timeless cool and his behind-the-scenes contempt for Star Wars -- an essential component of the role, as pointed out by Mike Ryan of Uproxx?

What makes Han Solo work is that he is played by an actor who thinks Star Wars is stupid. It will probably be hard to find that today.— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) July 7, 2015
Though the film's casting directors may very well take a chance on a relative unknown, here are 8 young actors whose names deserve to be tossed into the conversation.
