Screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan is leaving the Star Wars universe after the solo Han Solo prequel / spinoff, and while that film won’t hit theaters until 2018 — and we don’t even know who is playing Han — Kasdan has been offering a little insight into what the film may be like. During a chat with The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams, Kasdan delivered another bit of information about the upcoming film, which is being helmed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens will kick off a new era of the franchise in just a few days (we’re so close!), but there’s already talk of Lucasfilm’s future plans, which include two more sequels and at least three spinoffs under the Star Wars Story banner. One of those films is Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s untitled Young Han Solo project, which has already met with thousands of actors to fill Harrison Ford’s iconic shoes — but according to Star Wars screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan, their approach isn’t that simple.

Several days ago it was revealed that at least one character from The Force Awakens will return for Star Wars: Episode 8, which is being written and directed by Rian Johnson — though we know pretty much nothing else about the sequel since The Force Awakens hasn’t even hit theaters yet. According to franchise screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan, we should expect something very different from Episode 8, while another major player has been confirmed to return.

Lawrence Kasdan’s contributions to Star Wars cannot be understated — the co-writer of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi recently returned to the franchise to co-write and produce The Force Awakens with J.J. Abrams, and is attached to do the same for the untitled Han Solo project. According to Kasdan, that’s enough Star Wars for him, as the famed screenwriter may be done with the franchise after the Han Solo movie.

Last night’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens panel has already gone down as one of the biggest triumphs in Comic-Con history. While there wasn’t a new trailer or new footage, there was something special in the air. The enthusiasm of the cast, old and new, was palpable. A behind-the-scenes featurette moved the audience to tears. Even grumpy ol’ Harrison Ford bothered to show up and he…actually smiled? A lot? And yes, there is video evidence of this phenomenon because the whole hour-long panel has made its way online (and it’s all nice and official, too).

Billy Dee Williams’ name was absent from the cast list for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which left many fans feeling slightly disappointed (I say “slightly” because most of you are still pretty stoked for a new Star Wars movie with or without him). A few months ago, Williams cryptically teased fans about the possible return of his beloved Lando Calrissian character, giving us all a little hope. And now veteran Star Wars writer Lawrence Kasdan is adding to that hope, further teasing Lando’s return.
