It was under development by George Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan prior to the Disney deal. http://www.slashfilm.com/george-lucas-han-solo-movie/ It was already being written. Disney did not really want to do this movie but they wanted Kasdan to write The Force Awakens, so they agreed to let him do the Solo movie if he agreed to work with JJ Abrams on VII. It's also pretty obvious looking at it why Kasdan wanted Solo to be done ... he pushed Disney to bring his son on as a screenwriter, so likely this whole thing was about getting his son's screenwriting career a huge leg up. |
Lucas had the idea originally in 2012, told Kasdan about it, and then fucked off with only bits of advice later on.
Lawrence and Jonathan Kasdan wrote the script that's in the movie. Whatever Lucas worked on previously was either heavily reworked or scrapped.
If DIsney didn't want it, they wouldn't have done it. Quit acting like Kasdan bullied a company that made over $55 billion last year.
I like how you know who actually wrote the movie, but keep bringing up Lucas. Can you be consistent? Just for once?
