After a rough start and months of production we finally have details on the plot of Solo: A Star Wars Story. Lucasfilm revealed the official synopsis for the film, Tuesday, offering some new details on the upcoming film. Check it out below:
Board the Millennium Falcon and journey to a galaxy far, far away in Solo: A Star Wars Story, an all-new adventure with the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy. Through a series of daring escapades deep within a dark and dangerous criminal underworld, Han Solo meets his mighty future copilot Chewbacca and encounters the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian, in a journey that will set the course of one of the Star Wars saga’s most unlikely heroes.
Usually by this point we would have some publicity shots of the movie’s star Alden Ehrenreich as young Han Solo or at the very least a teaser or a trailer. So it is real nice to finally get the lowdown on the plot.
We now know that Solo won’t be laughing it up with the fuzzball when the film begins. Instead it seems that audiences will get to witness the first meeting between the smuggler and Chewbacca, who we know end up being best pals.
While not much else is known about the film, director Ron Howard has kept everyone up to date on the production status of Solo: A Star Wars Story through social media. The film wrapped up filming back in October.
