Updated on 1/22/2016 at 9:00 PM

Even though The Force Awakens has only recently hit theaters, we're already gearing up for the next round of Star Wars mania: the new Han Solo spinoff movie. When it comes to casting the role, Disney and Lucasfilm are willing to search galaxies far, far away to find the perfect person. While we previously saw a longer list of potential stars to play a young Han Solo, Variety is reporting that Disney has narrowed down its list to a handful of young actors. The ages range from 17-29, with choices that include Ansel Elgort and award-season breakouts like Emory Cohen. We're getting closer to a decision, so keep reading to see which actors are in the running to slip on Han's iconic vest!

Logan Lerman

Lerman has proved his acting chops in big-budget movies like Noah and Fury, and you can see him next in this year's Indignation.

Dave Franco

Franco became a household name thanks to movies like Neighbors and Now You See Me, and his sarcasm combined with his impeccable comedic timing could be a perfect fit for playing Han.

Ansel Elgort

Elgort broke hearts in The Fault in Our Stars and put on a brave face in the Divergent series, but is he Millennium Falcon material?

Miles Teller

Teller has shown time and time again that he can handle the pressure of a big franchise, with roles in movies like The Fantastic Four and Divergent already under his belt.

Jack Reynor

This Irish actor fought next to Mark Wahlberg in Transformers: Age of Extinction and is playing Malcom in the Macbeth reboot.

Emory Cohen

The Brooklyn star has no doubt been getting more attention since the film is an award-season darling.

Scott Eastwood

At 29, Eastwood is the oldest actor on Disney's shortlist to play a young Han Solo.

Blake Jenner

The former Glee star, 23, is among the actors being considered for Han.
