Director Ron Howard lit up social media Tuesday when he finally unveiled the title for the highly anticipated stand-alone Han Solo Star Wars movie.

“Hey #Twitterville we just wrapped production so here’s a special message #StarWars,” the 63-year-old famed director tweeted to his 2.07 million followers, along with a video. (RELATED: Watch The First Full Trailer For ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’)

“Well as we wrap up production, I just want to take this moment to thank an incredibly talented cast and crew for all their hard work,” Howard shared on the clip. “And to the fans out there I hope you have enjoyed the pictures that I have been sharing, pictures that I’ve taken from the set … ‘

At that moment, he looks off camera and asks if he can say the name of the movie, before being handed the title by a wookie, which read, “Solo: A Star Wars Story.”

As he mentioned several other pictures taken from the set have been shared on his social media account.

 

The movie features Alden Ehrenreich, who plays the 20-year-old version of Harrison Ford’s character from the Star Wars franchise and Donald Glover, his pal/enemy Lando Calrissian, originally played by Billy Dee William in the earlier films.

“Solo: A Star Wars Story” hits theaters May 25th.
