In a truly astonishing crossover, Emilia Clarke of “Game of Thrones” will be joining the “Star Wars” universe. This is not a drill, we repeat, the Mother of Dragons is going to join “Star Wars” canon forever.
Clarke, known for her current role on HBO’s fantasy series, will be joining the still yet-to-be-named Han Solo origin story.
The announcement comes via news release, but unlike the previous casting news that revealed “Community” and “Atlanta” star Donald Glover would be donning a cape for a younger Lando Calrissian, there are absolutely zero details as to who (or what) Clarke will be playing in this Solo spinoff.
