Emilia Clarke is moving from the dark scene of Game of Thrones to a galaxy far, far away.
Clarke joins Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover, who have already been cast as Han Solo and Lando Calrissian respectively. She has recently become a well-known actress due to her roles as Daenerys Targaryen in HBO's award-winning series: Game of Thrones. This untitled, standalone film is set before the original Star Wars trilogy and is set for a 2018 release.
