'Han Solo: A Star Wars Story' Cast, News & Update: Young Millennium Falcon Pilot Chosen, Harrison Ford’s Replacement Expected To Fail

"Hail Caesar!" star Alden Ehrenreich won over all young hopefuls to fly the "Star Wars" Millennium Falcon as the new Han Solo. Despite the victory, Alden Ehrenreich is already experiencing opposition against filling Harrison Ford's shoes.

His first major entry into the "Star Wars" universe will take Alden Ehrenreich into a standalone "Han Solo: A Star Wars Story" anthology. However, "Star Wars" buzz says Alden Ehrenreich may soft launch Han Solo in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story."

Alden Ehrenreich is not being rejected personally. New York Daily News points out that no matter who won the selection process will experience outright rejection from "Star Wars" fans. Harrison Ford and Han Solo have a unique and exclusive chemistry between actor and character. Han Solo is Harrison Ford.
