    Breaking: Full Han Solo Trailer Debuts On Good Morning America

    After last nights sneak peek teaser for “Solo: A Star Wars Story” airing during Super Bowl LII, fans have been eagerly awaiting the full trailer.  This morning their patience paid off and the full Solo trailer was shown on Good Morning America on ABC.

    Check out the full trailer below:

    In the two-minute trailer — we first meet Han Solo, the “Star Wars” icon — long before he met Luke and Leia or became a hesitant hero fighting the Empire.

    “I’ve been running scams on the street since I was 10,” Alden Ehrenreich, who plays the young Solo, says in the clip. “I was kicked out of the flight academy for having a mind of my own.”

    The film follows the young Han Solo and Chewbacca’s adventures before joining the Rebellion, including their encounters with Lando Calrissian.

    The full trailer also shows a few other characters for the first time including; Donald Glover’s young Lando Calrissian and Emilia Clarke’s Qi’Ra.

    “I might be the only person who knows what you really are,” Clarke’s character tells Solo, the clip hinting that they might be friends or have had some kind of previous relationship.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story opens May 25, 2018. Written by Lawrence and Jon Kasdan and directed by Ron Howard, it stars Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Thandie Newton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Joonas Suotamo, and Paul Bettany.

  • Official Synopsis For Solo: A Star Wars Story Revealed

    Official Synopsis For Solo: A Star Wars Story Revealed

    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.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story is slated for release on May 25, 2018.

  • Star Wars: Han Solo Grew a Beard After ‘Return of the Jedi’

    Star Wars: Han Solo Grew a Beard After ‘Return of the Jedi’

    This Friday when Star Wars Battlefront II is released fans will get their first chance to find out what happened to their favorite characters after Return of the Jedi.  This time the game comes with a campaign mode which will offer fans the chance to explore these storylines first hand.

    One of the missions features the Star Wars galaxy’s most infamous smuggler Han Solo, and his grooming habits have notably changed. That’s right, Han Solo has a new beard in the game.

    Warning: Minor spoilers for Battlefront II below.

    While we already know Luke Skywalker also plays a major role in the campaign, which tees off the events of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in a major way, Han Solo’s mission ties into an issue that stems from the prequel trilogy.

    After destroying the second Death Star’s shield generator on Endor, Han decided to help out his best friend and co-pilot Chewbacca in his attempts to rid the Imperial presence on the wookie’s home planet of Kashyyyk. But he needs information first.

    Han travels to Takodana and meets Maz Kanata in her castle, where she’s serving drinks to some of the best and brightest scum in the galaxy. So when Han says he goes way back with Maz in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, he means it.

    Maz chastises Han for not bringing Chewbacca around, and Han admits it’s because Chewie is afraid of her. He admits that they’re on Takodana to get some intel from a defecting Imperial analyst who can give them data on the Empire’s forces on Kashyyyk and Maz gets angry, warning him not to bring the Empire to her front door.

    Han meets with the analyst and, of course, things don’t go as planned, forcing the two to mount an escape while evading Stormtroopers and TIE Fighters.

    Maz, of course, doesn’t appreciate that Han did the one thing she asked him not to do, but he promises to repay her. After destroying the TIEs with the help of Rebel forces, he and Chewie embark on a quest to liberate Kashyyyk. The game jumps elsewhere at that point, treating Han’s journey as a nice diversion.

    Spoiler alert: he doesn’t keep the beard in the future.

    Star Wars Battlefront II releases on November 17.
