Likewise, itās also been said that Han Solo might be appearing in Star Wars: Rogue One as his younger self, possibly played by Alden Ehrenreich, who will be starring in the upcoming Han Solo movie. Thatās not happening, either.
āIām not sure if Iām allowed to do this, but I think I should. I can put to bed Han Solo is not in the movie,ā director Gareth Edwards said.
Edwards also wouldnāt talk about another rumor that says Star Wars: Rogue One ends ten minutes before A New Hope begins.
āI canāt talk about things like that,ā Edwards said with a smile.
