Young Han Solo director finds the perfect way to reveal filming has begun
We are one step closer to the Young Han Solo movie we all so desperately want and crafted the perfect tweet to tell us.
Director Chris Miller declared to the world that filming for the movie started today by tweeting out a photo of the film's very first clapperboard, showing that they are on roll one, take one.
The Lego Movie writer accompanied the tweet with the words, "Han first shot," a clever homage to the decades-old discussion about Solo shooting Greedo first during the two characters' tense encounter in A New Hope.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
At this point, we don't really care who old Solo shot as long as young Solo continues getting shot.
It's also worth noting that the name of the film as it currently reads on the clapperboard is Star Wars: Red Cup. The "red cup" is, of course, in reference to the disposable party cups from the Solo brand. Get it?
We doubt this working title will become the film's final title. But the fact that all of these clever references are being used to inform us about the movie bodes well to the playful but badass tone we hope this movie takes.
It's what Han Solo would have wanted, after all.
