A Falcon Flying the Nest: Set Pictures Point to Han Solo's Home Planet for 'Star Wars' Anthology
Away from herding nerfs, #AldenEhrenreich is slipping on his leather jacket and slipping his blaster in his pants to play #HanSolo in Disney's next #StarWars anthology film. Taking over the role that #HarrisonFord so brilliant played for 38 years *sob*, the latest movie will track the roguish smuggler's early days before he was falling for princesses or taking a saber to the chest.

C-3P-Whoa: First Poster For 'The Walking Dead' Season 8 Goes Full Star Wars
Just imagine a #StarWars and #TheWalkingDead crossover? Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan comes to chop the head off Chandler Riggs with a lightsaber, only to be attacked out of nowhere by Chewbacca. While we already know that the Breaking Bad universe exists inside #AMC's zombie apocalypse, don't expect Rick Grimes to be hopping in the Millennium Falcon anytime soon.
