As you wipe of the sweat from your brow after absorbing all of this information, the final note has to be the most bittersweet. Kasdan notes that there are great Star Wars movies that can be made without monstrous budgets, using this point to keep hope alive for a follow up to Solo, to which Kasdan adds he would jump at the chance to write assuming the cast and Ron Howard also returned.
All we can do now is simply hope that comes true, but until then we can all enjoy Solo: A Star Wars Story whenever and wherever we please with the movie now available on digital download! And if you are able to somehow practice patience, the movie will be available on 4K/Blu-ray in 11 days which happens to also come with the digital version of the movie.
