VIDEO : 'Solo' Was Being Developed Before Disney Owned Lucasfilm

The new Han Solo spinoff movie is the fourth Star Wars movie to come out since Lucasfilm was purchased by the Walt Disney Company, but it was in the works long before the deal was official.
Screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan, who wrote or co-wrote The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and The Force Awakens, revealed that he was brought on to pen Solo: A Star Wars Story when George Lucas was still calling the shots. He and his writing partner and son Jonathan Kasdan spoke with ComicBook.
