Did Chewie eat that porg? Who shot first? Important 'Star Wars' questions answered by 'Solo' cast
We sat down and covered myriad topics with the folks from Solo: A Star Wars Story, talking about the reactions of Harrison Ford and Billy Dee Williams to the film, Ron Howard taking over directorial duties, Thandie Newton breaking new ground in a Star Wars movie, and Donald Glover previewing “This Is America” for the cast one night outside the Millennium Falcon.

Has Ehrenreich ever met his son … Adam Driver? (In the new trilogy, Driver plays Kylo Ren, born Ben Solo… eventual spawn — and murderer — of Han Solo.) “No,” he hasn’t. Though we may have scared him there for a second.
