Han Solo movie director begins shoot with a hat tip to Greedo

Shooting for Star Wars' standalone Han Solo movie has started and director Chris Miller gave a shoutout to the Greedo controversy as he shared the images from the first day on set.

Miller is collaborating with his screenwriting and producing partner Phil Lord, the very people responsible for bringing us The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street. The cast of the movie includes Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo and Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian. Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke and The Hunger Games star Woody Harrelson are also part of the movie.

The image Miller shared on his Twitter account shows the clapper board with the details of the shot written on it. The board bears the name 'Star Wars: Red Cup', another joke involving the red cups from American manufacturer of disposable consumer products including beverage cups, disposable plates, and bowls, Solo Cup.
