According to the studio’s new release, the film will look at Han and Chewie’s “adventures before the events of ‘Star Wars: A New Hope,’ including their early encounters with that other card-playing rogue from a galaxy far, far away, Lando Calrissian.”

“Watching such inspired people from all over the world, with such unique voices, come together for the sole purpose of making art, is nothing short of miraculous,” Phil and Christopher said in a joint statement. “We can’t think of anything funny to say, because we just feel really moved, and really lucky.”
