Little is known about who Clarke will be playing. The article states, “Clarke’s role will round out a dynamic cast of characters that Han and Chewie will encounter on their adventures.”

The movie takes place 10 years before the events of A New Hope. Glover’s casting hints the film might show how Han won the Millennium Falcon from Lando. This could involve a game of sabacc, which has long been a part of Star Wars lore.

Clarke is reprising her role as Daenrys in Game of Thrones‘ seventh season, which is now in production.

The Han Solo film is aiming for a 2018 release.
