Fans were enthusiastic about Woody Harrelson's possible casting in the Han Solo standalone movie, so the confirmation from Disney and Lucasfilm was definitely a welcome one. However, there were no details shared about Harrelson's character other than that the "True Detective" actor would play a sort of mentor to Alden Ehrenreich's young smuggler. Naturally, fans began speculating about the identity of the mentor and his possible connection to another possible mystery role: Han Solo's first wife.
The Hollywood Reporter has reported on the possibility that Woody Harrelson will play Garris Shrike, the pirate who raised Han Solo. If this is true, the "Hunger Games" actor could end up in a major showdown with Alden Ehrenreich's character in the Han Solo standalone movie. However, some also believe that the mentor could be someone who introduces Han Solo to his first wife.
It hasn't been made official just yet, but fans have been speculating on the possibility that the Han Solo standalone film is looking for an actress to play Sana Starros. According to Variety, Lucasfilm is testing Zoe Kravitz, Tessa Thompson and Naomi Scott for a mystery role in the Star Wars movie. Fans believe one of these actresses could be chosen to portray Han Solo's first wife, who was introduced to Han by Woody Harrelson's character.
It is best to point out that the details on Woody Harrelson's character and his connection to Han Solo's first wife are based on speculations, which means the information should be taken with a grain of salt. The Star Wars Han Solo movie is expected to premiere in 2018.
