[Original story] We haven't even gotten to the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story, but it looks like Lucasfilm what the next standalone movie will be, and it looks to be about the fan-favorite smuggler, Lando Calrissian. Many of the reviews that are coming out about the film praise Donald Glover's performance as Lando, and Lucasfilm is enamored by it as well. Speaking with Premiere France, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy confirmed that Lando will be getting his own Star Wars Story, saying that:





"We think that the next spin-off will be dedicated to Lando Calrissian," Kennedy said. "Of course, there are still many stories to tell about Han and Chewbacca but Lando will be next."





Disney has been alternating each year between the standalone movies and the ones that deal with the Original trilogy. With Star Wars: Episode IX coming out in theaters in 2019, it appears that the next available spot is in 2020. There is no word at this time about what exactly "next" means, whether it's 2020 or some other date. Or, if "next" means the next film to go into production.

Solo: A Star Wars Story comes out May 25th. Ron Howard took over the project in June after the original directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were fired. It features Alden Ehrenreich ( Hail, Caesar! ) as Han Solo, Donald Glover ( Atlanta ) as Lando Calrissian, Woody Harrelson ( War for the Planet of the Apes ) as Tobias Beckett, Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca, Phoebe Waller-Bridge ( Fleabag ) as L3-37, Emilia Clarke ( Game of Thrones ) as Qi’Ra, Thandie Newton ( Westworld ) as Val, Ian Kenny ( Sing Stree t) as Rebolt, Harley Durst ( Wonder Woman ) as Moloch, Jon Favreau ( Spider-Man: Homecoming ) as Rio Durant, Tien Hoang ( Now You See Me 2 ) as Moloch’s henchman, Paul Bettany ( Avengers: Infinity War ) and Warwick Davis ( Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi ).
