Iain McCaig has worked on both the Star Wars prequels and The Force Awakens, so it's fair to say that the concept artist knows his stuff. That's what makes his comments about the upcoming Han Solo movie so exciting, especially as the vast majority of fans so far seem to have agreed that the spinoff is pretty unnecessary, especially as Harrison Ford obviously can't reprise the role of a younger Han.
"[The Han Solo movie] has by far the best Star Wars script, and one of the best scripts period, that I have ever read," he recently revealed after being asked about how the movie is shaping up. "I laughed, I cried, I did all the things you should do when reading a good script. You’re in for a treat."
That's one hell of an endorsement, but it perhaps shouldn't come as too much of a surprise given the talent involved. After all, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Empire Strikes Back, and The Force Awakens scribe Lawrence Kasdan penned the screenplay alongside his son Joe, while directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller have also been involved with that. As a result, December 2018 can't get here soon enough.
