Collider post: “Cinematographer Bradford Young Teases ‘Unexpected’ and ‘Dramatic’ Young Han Solo Movie”
Bradford Young: “These cats are subversive, don’t let it fool you (laughs). They are prepared to say exactly what they wanna say and it’s complex, it’s layered, it’s smart, it’s visual, it’s dramatic, it’s funny, it’s uneasy, it’s unexpected. These cats are—I’m honored to have them in the list of directors I’ve worked with, that’s for sure.”

Tricia Barr Interview:
New York Times article: “How Female Fans Made ‘Star Wars’ Their Own” (Nov. 3)
“On Twitter, Johnamarie Macias, the proprietor of the popular “Star Wars” site ‘The Wookiee Gunner,’ lamented that the franchise remained stuck on its daddy issues instead of exploring a mother-daughter dynamic. ‘Super happy that Jyn is the lead,’ she wrote, but added: ‘Why does the father have to be the scientist? GAH!’ And on the podcast ‘Fangirls Going Rogue,’ the three hosts discussed the role of Jyn’s mother with guarded enthusiasm. ‘Mothers tend to get erased, or they’re there to die,’ the co-host Tricia Barr said. ‘Hopefully we’re not continuing that trend.’ ”
