Now, this may seem like sour news to roll out of 2022 with, but in the spirit of Liam Neeson announcing he doesn’t do TV before returning as Qui-Gon Jinn in the final moments of Obi-Wan Kenobi, maybe this isn’t the bad news it might initially appear to be.

“The only discussion that I’m aware of about a sequel for Solo is coming from the fans at this point. I don’t think it’s a Lucasfilm priority, as I understand it.”

“But there’s some great characters launched, and the folks from Lucasfilm love the fans and really do listen so I would never say never – but I’m not aware of any concrete plans right now to extend the story or deal with that particular set of characters.”

With 2023 set to be a blockbuster year for Star Wars who know, maybe by this time next year we could be adding a Solo project to the slate.
