Watch The Latest Trailer For Solo: A Star Wars Story Just Released

The official trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story made their debut today, and they have us wishing we could just make the jump to May 25 already. Take a look below at the new movie poster just released today as well.

The trailer clocks in at over two minutes and shows us more of the movie than ever before, including great Han-and-Chewie moments, a super-cool Lando and the equally super-cool droid L3-37, and some kinetic Falcon action.

“I’ve got a really good feeling about this,” Han says while flying. The exact opposite of the famous line uttered by Solo in Star Wars: A New Hope in an obvious nod to the famous movie quote. Take a look at the trailer below:

More details on the plot are clear now. Obias Beckett (Woody Harrelson) recruits Han for a mission to rip off an notorious gangster (Paul Bettany) and Lando, Chewie, the mysterious Val (Thandie Newton) and Qi’ra (Emilia Clarke), possibly an old flame, are all along for the ride.

“You might want to buckle up, baby,” says Donald Glover who plays the notorious smuggler Lando Calrissian.

The newest poster was released today as well. It’s got a definite retro vibe with an earth-toned, Western-movie-style image, featuring beautifully-painted takes on the main characters and a world from the film.

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.

Disney Removes Weapons from New ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ Movie Posters

Disney has removed the weapons from the movie posters for Solo: A Star Wars Story. They released new imagines of Solo: A Star Wars Story’s cast without their iconic blasters.

As you can see in the images, with the same ease that the Empire can erase a planet with the Death Star, Disney has eradicated all traces of blasters from all of the movie posters for the upcoming Han Solo flick with the stroke of a digital pen.

There is not word from Disney about the alterations, but the change on the Solo posters appears to be in response to the recent gun control concerns following the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida last month as well as some plagiarism charges by a freelance artist, according to Movie Web.

Is this a step too far? We’ll leave that for the readers to decide, but blasters have been a part of Star Wars since Episode IV and it’s not like they are going to go back and digitally remove all guns like they did with E.T. and replace them with walkie-talkies… Well… at least we hope not.

I can’t help but think of Han Solo’s famous line here:

“Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.”

Disney likes to be a head of the curve on social issues, evident with the removal of the bride auction from Disney World’s Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Their plans for the change started way ahead of the #MeToo movement, though it should be noted that the Redhead is now is packing heat herself. So pirates can’t auction brides, and they can carry guns, but space smugglers cannot carry them… Got it!

The new Solo posters maybe aren’t as cool to look at, but they’ll keep Lucasfilm and Disney from getting sued and they take them out of anybody accusing them of promoting gun violence. Perhaps it’s the appropriate time to be sensitive for the moment, because it’s not like they will be removing them from the movie or anything that extreme. It’s just a poster and if these were the posters they released first, no one would have even gave it a second thought.

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.
