Aaron Paul Says Star Wars Han Solo Rumors Are Exciting

About a week ago, a rumor hit the net stating that Aaron Paul is being eyed for a Star Wars spinoff movie featuring Han Solo.

The rumor didn’t specifically state Aaron Paul was up for Han Solo, but it’s not that hard to connect the dots.

Now Paul has noticed the rumor as well. 

Aaron Paul took to Twitter to mention the Star Wars rumor is “very exciting” and jokes about having a job this year.

“Who’s starting these rumors?” Aaron Paul tweeted “This one is actually making me believe I have a job in 2015. Very exciting. #StarWars“

The rumor also stated that the Han Solo Star Wars spinoff would overlap filming with Star Wars: Episode VIII and had the working title “Luminac Industrial Goods.”
