Woody Harrelson Speaks Out About 'Star Wars' Role & Reveals Filming Schedule

Woody Harrelson is speaking out about his role in the upcoming Star Wars young Han Solo spin off.

The 55-year-old actor first confirmed the rumors that he would be playing Han Solo’s mentor Garris Shrike while stopping by Variety Studio during the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.

“I wouldn’t choose me,” Woody joked with People, when asked about his mentoring skills.

Woody also revealed that he would begin shooting the film this March.

The film’s directors, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller also spoke out about the news.

“We couldn’t be more excited to work with an artist with as much depth and range as Woody. His ability to find both humor and pathos, often in the same role, is truly unique. He is also very good at ping pong,” they said in a statement.
