It ’s cutting it pretty close considering the existent movie ’s out in three months , but we lastly have ourfirstlook(s!)at Solo : A Star Wars Story . And while we still have a lot of questions about what the movie will show us , here are all the clues about the life-time of the untried Han Solo , the seedy earth he find himself in , and the escapade that shaped him into the galaxy ’s most lovable scoundrel .
After a agile vamp of Han ( Alden Ehrenreich ) flicking switches on the dashboard of his future ship , the trailer opens with the young Corellian blaze out a lead in a junky - looking speed demon . “ I ’ve been running cozenage on the street since I was 10 , ” he tells us , as we find that Han is n’t alone in his ride . He ’s join by Qi’ra ( Emilia Clarke ) , who has presumptively know Han ever since those scamming day . Edit : AsAlexander Love point out on Twitter , you’re able to glimpse Han ’s die — the amber pair he finally hangs in the Falcon ’s cockpit — from A New Hope and The Last Jedi hang from the top of the front window !
“ I was quetch out of the escape academy for experience a creative thinker of my own , ” Han continues , as it turn out he and Qi’ra are in the midriff of a chase . The new Stormtrooper — a new excogitation that ’s been come to to in leak out ware for the film as a “ Range Trooper”—we see on a chunky speeder bike is in reality one we experience inset pictures from just beforeformer Solo directorsPhil Lord and Chris Miller leave the film .
Han ’s line about being “ kicked out of the trajectory honorary society ” offers something very challenging for honest-to-goodness flourish Universe fans . In the old Expanded Universe , Han did indeed signal up to join the Imperial Academy as a teenager , desperate at a chance to take flight ships for a sustenance . He was kick back out for a slight more than “ having a psyche of his own , ” though — he was drum out for attack a elderly officer to facilitate Chewbacca , then an regal hard worker , escape captivity . That could still be the case in Solo , which will patently show us howHan play his wookiee friendin the first place . It for certain would n’t be the first bit of EU traditional knowledge to make its way back into Disney ’s Star Wars canyon .
After ditch the Stormtrooper , we get a fast shaft of a few more speeders chasing Han . These too have been seen inprevious product leaks , and are apparently piloted by an alien call Moloch and a human name Rebolt . All this , presumptively , is taking topographic point on Corellia itself , given that weknow it ’ll be in the movieand it is , after all , Han ’s homeworld .
“ I ’m gon na be a pilot . The best in the galaxy , ” Han tot up , as we get to see the young man examining a snowy landscape painting . It ’s potential this is also another part of Corellia , but it could just as potential be a raw satellite altogether — we see a bit more of this world in theSuper Bowl idiot box spot , including a fight atop an Imperial freight train that sees Beckett ( Woody Harrelson ) battle an alien warrior we meet later in this drone .
At last , we finally get a glimpse of the Millennium Falcon — which , in Solo , is n’t exactly the “ hunk of rubble ” it was by the time of A New Hope . On the inside , it much await brand fresh . We get a unspoiled look at the outside later on , but this muzzy dig of Han admiring his next drive is still middling nice , too .
Another macrocosm , and some more new characters to meet . First we see Qi’ra and Han making their way across a flaxen drop-off face to a swanky looking towboat , and then we see Han in a similar environs with our first glimpse at Tobias Beckett , who informs Han that he ’s reckon to build a work party . Harrelson has described Beckett asa criminal and Han ’s “ wise man ” in the photographic film .
look rather more glamourous than she did in the first place , Qi’ra emerges from the Falcon in an elaborate get - up . She ’s join by a cool - looking droid that is perchance Phoebe Waller - Bridge ’s character . We do know the role player is playing a major movement - capture roledescribed as being in the vein of Alan Tudyk ’s performance as K-2SO in Rogue One , so a droid would make sentiency .
Three more members of Beckett ’s work party fly past in spry succession . First is another young translation of a familiar face : Lando Calrissian ( Donald Glover ) , future Baron Administrator of Cloud City and , in Solo ’s prison term , the current owner of the Millennium Falcon .
Next we get out first aspect at Thandie Newton ’s deep character , who we know hardly anything about . A previous place picture from Ron Howard himselfshowed her wearing a costume with the Imperial Insignia on it , potentially hinting at a villainous role for the actress , butrecent toy leakssuggest at some point the movie will see Han and Beckett ’s gang disguise themselves as imperial and infiltrate the planet Mimban ( far-famed in the sometime Expanded Universe as being the setting for the first - ever Star Wars tie - in novel , Splinter of the Mind ’s Eye ) . We potentially take care some of the bent - up for that in the Super Bowl touch , with Han look to sign up for the Academy ( again ) with a gung - ho recruitment officeholder .
in conclusion , we get a brief shot of a multi - armed alien taking the controls of something — peradventure the train from the Super Bowl point ? As with Newton ’s fiber , we bonk nothing about this deep fellow member of Beckett ’s team .
Beckett asks Han if he ’s “ in , ” so it look like that dialog about build a work party is from this white planet , rather than the human race we go steady the wrinkle used with earlier . Beckett get an affirmative in the form of a growling from Chewbacca ( formerly played by Peter Mayhew in the mainline Star Wars pic , butnow played full - time by Joonas Suotamo ) , who unsurprisingly , still looks like the Chewie we all know and love .
Fancily coiffe Guest , include Qi’ra , mingle with each other as a singer serenade them . This political party looks like it could be taking place in the column we saw Qi’ra and Han walking towards earlier — and it also appear like a location we ’ve seen quite a number of from Ron Howard ’s set pictures during filming . The surround matches where we ’ve seenPaul Bettany ’s character(who is allegedly a switch for Michael K. Williams ’ fictitious character in the picture , after the actor ’s scheduleforced him to set down out of reshoots for the film ) , described by the actor asan “ intergalactic gangster . ”
We then get a few intriguing shots cut together : Han train for a tie with a group of masked aliens — including the warrior that we saw Beckett push on top of the wagon train in the Super Bowl spot — an unknown cloak figure struggle in tightlipped quarters , and the Falcon droid from before , beleaguer by activate monitor .
Han , piloting a cargo ship on the snowfall planet , carries what face like a segment of the freight train from the TV slur ( it ’s kind of off-the-wall that those shots are n’t in this preview , honestly ) . It looks like some bikes , driven by what looks like those extraterrestrial being from the sand world , are endeavor to deplumate Han ’s haul away from him , only for the smuggler to lease them have it in a rather volatile personal manner .
We then come back to Han and Qi’ra , who tells Han , “ I might be the only mortal who screw what you really are . ” Given that it seems like she ’s know him since his early days on Corellia , it depend like young Solo has some secret he ’s keeping from everyone else . Whatever it is , we know it ’s not his “ real name , ” at least .
The last scene in the trailer is one of the most intriguing altogether : The Falcon , pursued by a Star Destroyer ( and a new variant of TIE hero that has an extra turret module ) through a stormy corridor , with Han and Chewie at the controls while Lando and Qi’ra watch . Not only do we get a flavour at the exterior of this new - sure-enough Millennium Falcon ( which has not just a blue - and - white pigment job , but a bulkier “ nozzle ” region , which means the ship will likely go through some scrapes and modification before it look like the vessel we ’re all familiar with ) , but we might be getting our first coup d’oeil of Star Wars history .
Ron Howard haslong been teasingthat Solo will include the major planet Kessel , a spice - mining world in Star Wars made ill-famed by the “ Kessel Run ” Han tout in A New Hope as something he make out in the Falcon in 12 parsecs , sparking off years of debate about what he actually meant ( and why he use parsecs , a measuring of distance , rather than clip , when vaunt about it ) . Plus , a leaked version Lego set for the moviedescribes this version of the Falcon as the “ Kessel Run Millennium Falcon . ” Could this sequence be our first glimpse of the historic run being made ?
Whatever it is , it ’s going to be a dangerous tripper for the work party — not only do they have Imperials to administer with , but a giant , tendril - wave alien creature inhabiting this tempestuous corridor , too .
Anticipation for a glimpse at Solo , especially in the viewing of its manager turnover , has been sky high . With the picture show just months away , this first spirit provide us with almost as many question as we had before we ’d seen little more thanthe cast and the picture show ’s X - directors hanging out in the Falcon cockpit . Just who is Qi’ra to Han ? How do the things we saw in last night ’s TV spot fit in to what we saw in this house trailer ? What is the actual news report of the flick beyond what looks like a few luxuriant quad heists ?
We ’ll presumably be learning a pile , lot more in the next three months , since Solo : A Star Wars Story arrive at theaters May 25 .
