Woody Harrelson is giving up a few tidbits about his upcoming _Star Wars_ role.

While [the cast photo](http://time.com/4677292/han-solo-spinoff-first-look-photo/?iid=sr-link1) makes it clear that Harrelson has a role in the upcoming [_Star Wars_ spin-off ](http://time.com/4653713/han-solo-spinoff-star-wars-greedo-reference/)about the life of the young Han Solo, few details are known about the film let alone Harrelson’s role in it. When he stopped by _The Tonight Show_ on Wednesday, Jimmy Fallon was determined to get some answers out of him, and while Harrelson skillfully avoided spilling the beans, he did drop some promising details. “I’m playing a guy named Beckett, who is kind of a criminal, and I am a mentor to Han,” he said, adding: “That’s all I can say.”

When Fallon sneakily put the cast photo in front of him, Harrelson wouldn’t confirm or deny that the cast, which includes [Alden Ehrenreich](http://time.com/4409714/alden-ehrenreich-star-wars/) as Han Solo and [Donald Glover](http://time.com/4541587/donald-glover-lando-calrissian-han-solo/?iid=sr-link8) as a young Lando Calrissian, were sitting on Solo’s ship the Millennium Falcon. However, was willing to admit that the wookiee in the corner was indeed Chewbacca.

Harrelson’s vagueness wasn’t limited to _Star Wars_ and the presumed airtight NDA he signed, though. When Fallon asked him about the origin story of his recent live-streamed film, _Lost in London_, Harrelson admitted he had a run in with the police, but was otherwise mum on the details. “Sometimes people misunderstand each other, tempers fly, and the next thing you know, you’re running from a sea of blue,” Harrelson said. Clearly the man knows how to keep a secret.
