Disney's Han Solo "Star Wars" spinoff movie finally has an official title: "Solo:A Star Wars Story."
Director Ron Howard, who stepped in after the studio booted original directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller ("21 Jump Street"), revealed the title in a video he posted to Twitter to mark the end of production on the movie starring Alden Ehrenreich in the titular role originally portrayed by Harrison Ford.
"As we wrap up production, I just want to take this moment to thank an incredibly talented cast and crew for all of their hard work," Howard tells the camera before asking someone off screen, "Can we even say the name of the movie?"
