Although [Luke Skywalker](http://time.com/5064407/star-wars-the-last-jedi-luke-skywalker-scene-explained/ "undefined") isn’t likely to pop up in [_Solo: A Star Wars Story_](http://time.com/5247523/star-wars-top-han-solo-moments/ "undefined"), according to [Mark Hamill](http://time.com/5222488/mark-hamill-star-wars-best-order/ "undefined"), another galaxy far, far away great is slated to make a cameo. During a recent appearance on the [_Cape Up_ podcast](https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-washington-post/cape-up-with-jonathan-capehart "undefined"), Hamill seemed to accidentally reveal that C-3PO will continue his streak of appearing in all of the _Star Wars_ movies in the forthcoming standalone flick. “\[Anthony\] Daniels was so happy, ‘cause he’s in every single _Star Wars_ movie. Every single one,” Hamill told host Jonathan Capehart. “All the prequels, he’s in _Rogue One_, he’s in _Solo_… Whoops! I hope that’s not…But anyway, he’s in Every. Single. _Star Wars_ movie. That’s not such a reveal, all _Star Wars_ fans expect him to be in every movie.” It’s unlikely that Threepio will have any direct contact with Han seeing as the two are first introduced in _A New Hope_, but fans should definitely be on the lookout for the over-talkative droid. _Solo_ hits theaters May 25. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5268389/star-wars-mark-hamill-solo/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5268389/star-wars-mark-hamill-solo/"},"headline":"Mark Hamill Might Have Revealed This Iconic Star Wars Character Will Be in Solo","datePublished":"2018-05-07T23:05:41.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T20:12:06.713Z","description":"Be on the lookout for this galaxy far, far away great","url":"https://time.com/5268389/star-wars-mark-hamill-solo/","keywords":["movies","Star Wars topic","mark hamill"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfad95a0d353927f2/69892fbcfb4eac727b8968df/mark-hamill-solo.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfad95a0d353927f2/69892fbcfb4eac727b8968df/mark-hamill-solo.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Mark-Hamill-South-By-Southwest","caption":"Mark Hamill at South By Southwest 2018","creditText":"Gary Miller/FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5268389/star-wars-mark-hamill-solo/","name":"Mark Hamill Might Have Revealed This Iconic Star Wars Character Will Be in Solo"}}]}] ```
