Chewbacca Han Solo Star Wars classic photoHan Solo will have an important role in the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII according to the latest rumors.

According to Deadline, Harrison Ford’s iconic hero will have a “gigantic” presence in the first of the next three sequels.

Their report gives fans the latest in casting rumors: “Inside Llewyn Davis star Oscar Isaac is in line for a major role, as is Adam Driver and Attack the Block’s John Boyega, both of whom have been rumored.
