While talking to Deadline, Anderson explained, “Well I have a feeling I would probably ultimately get replaced on the film because I don't know if I have all the right action chops. But at least I know the characters from the old films.”
However, Wes did admit that he would love to have a go at doing a Han Solo early years movie, “I don't think I would do a terrible job at a Han Solo backstory. I could do that pretty well. But maybe that would be better as a short,” he added.
