Advertising so far for Solo: A Star Wars Story has been pretty light so far, especially considering that the film is being released at the end of next month. That might be one of the reasons why it is currently tracking towards the lowest opening weekend of any Star Wars film since the franchise was rebooted in 2015. Will this new trailer that just dropped for the film change any of that? Maybe. It certainly gives some new images that whet the appetite, even if the train/monorail robbery sequence looks as if it was lifted from an episode of Joss Whedon’s late, lamented Firefly TV series. Despite rumors, Alden Ehrenreich’s interpretation of Han Solo seems just fine and everything we see of Donald Glover’s Lando Calrissian looks great. And is that second wookie we see with Chewbacca a member of his family? Are we actually going to see a part of the dread Star Wars Holiday Special brought into canon?
Here’s the official studio synopsis –
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.
Solo: A Star Wars Story opens on May 25, 2018.
Look best :)
