Fans are super excited about "Star Wars: Episode 8" and though the release is still a year away, some update has emerged about Han Solo.

It looks like Harrison Ford aka Han Solo might return in "Star Wars: Episode 8," reports The Melty Galaxy. In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Ford indicated at the return of his character. Though he did not say anything when asked about his return, his mime act was enough to spark rumors of a possible return.

When Kimmel asked Ford if he is still part of Episode 8, Ford took a pause and then performed a small mime act of locking his lips and throwing the imaginary key away. After this act of the 74-year-old actor, it is being said that Han Solo might reappear. However, some also think that he might be taking viewers for a ride. He is known to be a funny man and his act might be a prank.

So it is still not confirmed if viewers will see him again but if he comes back, it would definitely cheer up fans. Many believe that Rian Johnson has planned something for him. Notably, Han Solo died when Starkiller base blew up. His body was incinerated.

Meanwhile, another theory about Snoke and Leia has emerged, claims International Business Times. It says that "Star Wars: Episode 8" will explore the connection between Leia and Snoke. The next movie will reveal how Leia knew him.

For those who do not remember, one scene in "The Force Awakens" saw Leia telling Han Solo that it was Snoke's fault to seduce their son to the Dark Side and YouTuber Mike Zeroh suggests that Solo did not know about Snoke.

It was his wife who told him about Snoke and "Star Wars: Episode 8" will reveal how she knew him. She is expected to build up the villain by shedding light on his backstory. According to Zeroh, the identity of the leader of the First Order will be a big part of the upcoming Star Wars movie.

"Star Wars: Episode 8" is slated to hit theaters on Dec. 15, 2017.
