DEBUNKED: No, Han Solo And Qi’ra Will Not Appear In The Mandalorian Universe
Rumors are very interesting. Sometimes they are very reliable depending on the source, and sometimes they turned out to be absolutely false and very unreliable. In the age of scoops on the internet, a major franchise like Star Wars is a prime example of scoops and rumors being reported on a daily basis. It’s about educating and trying to come up with a conclusion about a piece of information whether the story is valid or not. According to a story about one of the most popular streaming shows out there, The Mandalorian, we are to expect a certain appearance from an iconic character and a newly created character from the Disney era of Star Wars within the franchise.
We Got This Covered ran with a story recently about Han Solo and Qi’ra appearing in The Mandalorian timeframe, and we at Culture Slate can say that the story is false.
Original story:
“We’re coming up to three years now since the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story and we’ve still yet to see any kind of sequel project materialize. There is a Lando TV series in development, though we don’t know whether it’ll feature Donald Glover or Billy Dee Williams (or maybe both). Given its disappointing box office haul, then, the best bet for more of young Han is a return on Disney Plus, and one might be might on the horizon in The Mandalorian corner of the saga.
We Got This Covered has heard from our sources – the same ones who told us Luke Skywalker would appear on the aforementioned show, as well as Ahsoka Tano, both of which were correct – that Lucasfilm has plans for young Solo and Emilia Clarke’s Qi’ra to turn up in The Mandalorian universe soon. It’s unclear if this will be in the Pedro Pascal vehicle itself or in one of its upcoming spinoffs, but the pair will definitely feature somewhere.
It’s worth pointing out that our intel didn’t specify that Alden Ehrenreich will be back as young Han, but you would imagine that’ll be the case. Then again, it might be strange to have him play the role once more in the post-Original Trilogy timeline, so it’s feasible that they could pull a Luke Skywalker and use CGI to recreate a younger Harrison Ford. Clarke’s return, meanwhile, is more straightforward and we might finally get to find out what happened to Qi’ra’s partnership with Maul.
Of course, the aforementioned villain is dead by the time of The Mandalorian, so it’s possible she’s risen up the ranks to become a big deal in the galactic underworld. In which case, The Book of Boba Fett might be a good fit for her. And an uneasy reunion – and maybe alliance against Qi’Ra – between Fett and Solo would be a lot of fun to see.”
There have been many rumors suggesting that Han Solo and Qi’ra might be returning in one of the upcoming Star Wars shows. I’ve been hoping to see Alden Ehrenreich and Emilia Clarke return as Han Solo and Qi’ra ever since I watched them in Solo: A Star Wars Story. But it doesn’t make a lot of sense having their characters cross over into the current storyline on the hit Disney+ streaming series.
Ehrenreich was brilliant in Solo, and that goes for Clarke as well since I was hoping that would be her big break in her film career post-Game of Thrones. I won’t hear anyone say otherwise. Ehrenreich also had an impossible task in Solo. However, he filled Harrison Ford’s boots remarkably well in the movie. Hopefully, we’ll see them again in the Lando limited series.
The Mandalorian season three is currently in pre-production.
