We finally gotanother calculate at Solo : A Star Wars Story last night , and it gave us a much better estimation of what we can expect from the pic after that first , cabalistic trailer in February . Here ’s everything we con about this early chapter in the biography of Han Solo and his friends , both familiar and unfamiliar .
The trailer spread out with some gorgeous shots of Corellia , Han ’s homeworld — specifically , the Imperial comportment on the planet , with the sounds of TIEs filling the air as a Star Destroyer is built in the lower standard pressure . Although the sure-enough EU made Corellia more of a seedier home that largely kept out of the middle of the Moffs ruling its sphere , Han suggest in A New Hope that the imperial built vessels on the satellite ( giving ships that he boasts he could outrun ) .
Next , we rationalise to an extended shot fromthe first preview — Han Solo ( Alden Ehrenreich ) on a desert reality , in a very Western - stylus confrontation with a gang of exotic tough . The lead pattern is one of the big scoundrel of the moving picture , named in merchandise as Enfys Nest — arecent French cartridge gendered Nest as female , which , if it terminate up being exact , signify she joins a rather prime group of distaff Star Wars villains . And if the marketing holds out , behind her are her slide - bike pack , the Cloud - Riders . The Cloud - Riders area mysterious Star Wars cut , a character reference to a gang of troublesome bikers Han fought in the very first original storyline of Marvel ’s 1977 Star Wars comedian ( which began in issue # 8) .
Meanwhile , over this we hear Qi’ra ( Emilia Clarke ) , the mysterious figure who ’s be intimate Han since his youth on Corellia , presumably talking to the smuggler : “ You ’re after something . Is it revenge ? Money ? Or is it something else ? ”
While Qi’ra narrates we get another drawn-out flavour at a shot from the first house trailer : Han accede a cantina and come face - to - expression with Lando Calrissian ( Donald Glover ) . We get to see Han bedevil down a big pile of credit entry , which seems like this is all set up of the card game in which Han splendidly wins the Millennium Falcon off the future tense Baron Administrator of Cloud City . But dialogue we hear from what is likely the same vista after in this trailer hints that this is the first time Han and Lando in reality meet each other , which would be a unearthly time to have Han really realize the Falcon . But it also sound like a very Han Solo move , so who have intercourse ?
We still do n’t recognize much about where this place actually is , except for what we discover through , of all thing , a Denny ’s commercial message . Even then , it ’s vague : at a press event for the advertising , it was simply described as a “ auberge ” where Han and Lando play their fateful Sabacc secret plan .
Han and Chewbacca ( diddle in Episodes III - VII of the main saga and sequences in VIII by Peter Mayhew , but play full sentence by Joonas Suotamo in Solo , who also make with Mayhew in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi ) survey the legendary Millennium Falcon . give Han ’s wearing the bulky cold - atmospheric condition coating we ’ve seen him wear on the sparkler planet for the Conveyex train heist , it ’s potential this is the same world and where the social club he meets Lando is based .
“ You look ripe . Little rough around the edges , ” Qi’ra tells Han , this meter in the glitzy party environment we get word a few shots of in the first trailer — which seems to be the stamping ground of selection for Paul Bettany ’s “ space mobster ” character , Dryden Vos , who we ’ll meet in brief . Qi’ra ’s dialogue make water it seem like this is one of the first time she and Han have spoken to each other in a while , perhaps since they were on Corellia together .
“ hear about a occupation , ” Han ’s raw mentor Tobias Beckett ( Woody Harrelson ) say , as we cut from Beckett and Han — which look like the same worldly concern Han stared down Enfys Nest — to Vos lording it over his fellow partiers .
“ Big shot gangster , set together a crew , ” Beckett continues presumptively referring to the Vos . This is our first look at the case , who was earlier start to be played by Michael K. Williams before reshoot scheduling issuessaw the actor drop out . Vos was allegedly intend to be a mocap character when Williams was playing him — Williams himself described Vos as “ half - sight lion , half - human”—but now he just has a really messed up face .
There ’s a caboodle of cool guessing in this brief sequence , as Han tell Beckett “ I ’m a number one wood , and I ’m a flier . ” The latter parts are familiar — ridiculous - looking speeder - twirl away , we ’ve seen the chase sequence on Corellia before , and the second one-half is part of the Conveyex train heist from the first trailer . It ’s the minute where Han and Beckett are first converse that ’s really interesting :
Merchandise revealed this morningindicates that these scene are on the satellite Mimban , which in the one-time EU was eff for being the place setting of Splinter of the Mind ’s Eye , the very first Star Wars novel set after the events of A New Hope — here , it ’s a hub of majestic natural action . We know , thanks to the Lego bent , at some point in the film Han and Beckett go in camouflage in these Imperial outfits on the planet , andpreviously shown action figuresof a very sloughy Han also indicate Chewbacca is on Mimban , too . Given the quondam EU ’s backstory of Han liberating Chewbacca from thralldom when he was function in the Imperial Navy , forcing the two to go on the run together , Mimban could maybe be where Solo and his Wookiee brother first sports meeting .
“ I ’ve wait a long time for a shot like this , ” Han uphold , as we slew back to another extended scene from the first trailer , back on the snowy planet where the wagon train heist takes place . We get the same shot of Val ( Thandie Newton ) as we did in the first trailer , so there ’s nothing young to learn there . But we also get what is likely a crucial mo in Han Solo ’s legacy , albeit played reservedly : Beckett sniffs , and then flip Han what would become Han ’s iconic blaster , the BlasTech DL-44 . I ’m all for more apparently Brobdingnagian Star Wars art - factsnot having to have grand stories behind them , so playing it pretty low - key here is nice .
After a abbreviated joke between Han and Chewie , we see the two , joined by Qi’ra , enter what appear to be the lodge where they rule Lando . The dialogue here seemingly confirms this , as Beckett expect if the team has found a ship , only for Qi’ra to offer that she know a guy rope , “ the best moon curser around . ” Sorry , Han , but she ’s definitely talking about Lando .
The snow-white environment this take place on suggests that this is the planet Han and Beckett draw the Coneyex heist , too . It ’s hard to tell if this meeting is before or after that sequence , but either way of life , it seems like a lot give-up the ghost down on this icy globe .
Next up , another coming together in the lodge , as Lando break up up his droid atomic number 27 - pilot L3 - 37 , voiced by Phoebe Waller - Bridge , to depart with the rest of the team . Like the very near Star Wars droids , she equilibrize a fairly demure personality with a dash of fury .
Han ogle the Falcon ’s swank spirit on the inside and out — a do - up by Lando , andapparently not the first timethe old bottom has been given a fresh lick of key and a pattern tweak . The wide-cut crack of the ship indicates that this indeed all takes place on that snow-white planet , so presumably it ( and the heist successiveness ) happen pretty early on in the movie .
Another lengthy look of a scene from the first prevue , this time with Beckett admonish Han : “ If you come with us , you ’re in this life for good . ” We know he ( and Chewie ) say yes to this offer . Whether this is pre - or - billet Conveyex stickup is unknown , but it seems like it ’s more potential to be before it .
Lando shows off as the Falcon jet plane off , although Han seems very unamused at a ) being ask in to “ buckle up ” and b ) being called “ baby . ”
We finally get a minute more of the Conveyex heist , with Beckett trading blaster bolt of lightning on its outside with Imperial Range Troopers . away from being cool as hell on earth — come on , train gunfight on a rotating train!—this is really our first really dependable flavor at the Range Troopers in the film . We ’ve onlypreviously catch them as toys .
The Falcon super C off to another planet , which is definitely steaming . Given that the Falcon ’s there and Qi’ra is advert out , this is definitely after the team meets Lando on the coke human race . ( It ’s kind of crazy we ’ve yet to learn a raft of the major planet names in this motion-picture show , but there ’s still a month and convert to go ! ) Could perhaps even be the fabled spicery - excavation universe of Kessel ?
This short sequences of shots has a lot going on , while over it Beckett warns Han “ Let me give you some advice . Assume everyone will shit you , and you will never be disappointed ” which seems like choice apparatus for Beckett to inescapably betray Han by the closing of the movie . Anyway , visually we get some interesting moments : The first very brief shot is likely on Mimban , as the image on the left-hand cope with the armor Han has been wearing in merchandise related to the Mimban succession and the heavy ( literally , given the Walker dropping in ) majestic presence . Then , there ’s Val burn a harpoon during what seems to be the Conveyex stickup again . But then there ’s the bit that ’s arguably surprised buff more than anything else in this house trailer :
Chewbacca and what appear to be a female Wookiee comprehend ! The environment suggests that this is again the steam - covered world we see the Falcon gush off to ( and the land site of a major shootout chronological succession we see pelt throughout the back half of this trailer ) . If it is Kessel , the EU made it an unfortunate habitation for Wookiee striver and regal criminals to work in the spice mines , so it ’d make sense Chewie would know the fellow Wookiees that were sent there .
Could this perhaps even be a Wookiee he ’s related to ? Chewie ’s fellowship — his married woman Malla , his Word Lumpy , and father Itchy — wascreated for the infamous Star Wars Holiday Specialand stricken from continuity , but Malla at least was recanonized in the Disney geological era through the young reader novel A New Hope : The Princess , the Scoundrel , and the Farm Boy , and then the Aftermath trilogy of books . Whatever the human relationship , this is intelligibly a Wookiee Chewbacca has a band of affection for .
Meanwhile , Chewie get up from the backseat to do some co - piloting himself , extend to a joke that let out something really fairly of import : Chewbacca is 190 years sometime by the time of Solo . The Force Awakens prequel novelSmuggler ’s footrace – A Han Solo & Chewbacca Adventureconfirmed that Chewbacca was 180 when he take part in the fight of Kashyyyk in Revenge of the Sith , in 19 BBY ( before the conflict of Yavin ) so now we can vaguely estimate that Solo is taking place at around nine - to-10 twelvemonth before A New Hope . Rest gentle , timeline nerds .
The Falcon skim off what is likely the worn - down resolution Han was facing Enfys Nest in at the start of the trailer , while a very angry looking Dryden Vos activate some … vibroblade knuckdusters ? have ’s go with that , because they look coolheaded . He ’s lashing out at objects rather than people , so possibly the stack he ’s hired Beckett ’s crew for has gone south …
There ’s more from Mimban here , as swarm of Mudtroopers do conflict ( presumably against Rebel trash ) … and then Chewbacca just completely destroys a serviceman ’s brain . This also appears to happen on Mimban , given the clothing and cosmopolitan environment , further confirming beyond just the toys that Chewie is on the satellite at some point , too .
Back on the steam planet / perchance - Kessel one last time , as Qi’ra and L3 lead an attack out of the Falcon . L3 in particular is very mad : “ So beaming we took this job ! ” Same , L3 . Same .
at last , the trailer cease once again with part of the Conveyex heist , as Chewie postulate a tumble . Could this be the last of a character we have sex will go on to appear in at least six movies adjust after Solo ? Who can perhaps say ? ?
Although it still continue its Sabacc bill secretive to its thorax , this new house trailer does give us a few clear ideas of what we can expect of Solo , expand on a few of the matter barely glimpse in the first preview , while also giving us a better estimate ( albeit still a vague one ) of the with child picture and flow of the moving picture . But even then , there ’s still so many questions about just what we we ’ll be learning about Han ’s early animation , and even more about the intriguing party he keeps in this trailer . Regardless , it wo n’t be that farsighted until we get it on more — Solo : A Star Wars Story hits theater May 25 .
