Solo: A Star Wars Story Theatrical Trailer (2018)

Theatrical Trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story, starring Emilia Clarke, Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson and Donald Glover.

Board the Millennium Falcon and journey to a galaxy far, far away in Solo: A Star Wars StorySolo: 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

While it was first suggested that Ron Howard was brought in to complete this Star Wars spinoff, the latest admission makes it clear that the director basically redid the entire film. And, though there is still drama surrounding the film in regards to crew and some rough acting, Howard looks confident in his social media posts.

So confident in fact that Walt Disney is showing just how much they have his back. The studio recently announced that Solo: A Star Wars Story will have its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.

Judging by this recent Solo: A Star Wars story trailer, it is looking more and more that the story is being built around a major heist. The first act is likely a (re-)introduction to Han, with the second act showing the build up of the team. And, eventually, the final act will be built around a train heist. Does this flow sound right?

In regards to the film itself, I think it looks pretty good! Expectations were low for Rogue One, and I absolutely adored that movie. So let's hope this spinoff can follow suit.
