Solo: A Star Wars Story Trailer: Han Flips an Old Catchphrase, Lando Speaks
Solo: A Star Wars Story is barreling ahead and it’s finally time we got a good look at the entire cast. A full trailer was released on Sunday, chock-full of galactic goodies: Lando Calrissian finally speaks! As does L3-37, the droid voiced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. And Han himself (played by Alden Ehrenreich) puts a silly, naive twist on an old catchphrase.
“I’ve got a really good feeling about this,” he says as he maneuvers the Millennium Falcon. Oh, to be young (Solo)!
The story revolves around the amateur smuggler and his pal Chewbacca (who’s revealed to be 190 years old) getting their first major job for baddie Dryden Vos (played by Paul Bettany), an intimidating gangster with long red scars down his face and a peculiar trademark weapon that appears to be a small, brass-knuckles version of a lightsaber. With some help from the mysterious Qi’ra (Emilia Clarke) and ne’er-do-well mentor of sorts Tobias Beckett (played by Woody Harrelson), Solo and Chewie set off to complete the mission. First stop: a visit to the infamous Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover), where we finally see Han and Lando engage in a little bar-room tête-à-tête. “I heard a story about you, I was wondering if it was true,” Solo asks the fellow smuggler.
“Everything you’ve heard about me is true,” Lando replies.
Solo purists will also enjoy watching the young smuggler as he gazes upon the Falcon for the first time, awe-struck as he climbs into the ship that’s about to shape his entire smuggling career. And life, for that matter! Solo: A Star Wars Story flies into theaters on May 25.
