A New Star Wars Story Unfolds In This Fresh Batch Of Solo Stills

Forget Falcon Heavy; this gallery of action shots for Solo: A Star Wars Story brings us closer to Alden Ehrenreich's scruffy-looking nerf herder.

The scruffy-looking nerf herder has never looked better than in Entertainment Weekly’s gallery of action shots for Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Arriving in tandem with the outlet’s cover reveal, below you’ll find eight ā€“ count ’em, eight ā€“ high-res stills profilingĀ Alden Ehrenreich’s fresh-faced smuggler, the young Lando Calrissian, and Emilia Clarke’s femme fatale, who will be going by the name Qi’ra.

She’s a friend to Solo, a fellow cast-off “just fighting to stay alive” at a time when the Galactic Empire seizes control of the galaxy and everyone in it. And though the Star Wars community has grown accustomed to the grouchy and somewhat temperamentalĀ Han,Ā Ehrenreich’s anti-hero is anything but.

I think the main thing thatā€™s different is that the Han we meet in this film is more of an idealist. He has certain dreams that he follows, and we watch how it affects him as those dreams meet new realities ā€” realities that are harder and more challenging than heā€™d expected.

On his journey through the cosmos, he’ll cross paths with the ice-cool Lando Calrissian, who has an ally of his own in L3-37 (Phoebe Waller-Bridge), a droid that knows its way around the Millennium Falcon.

Speaking of which, director Ron Howard fully believes that the new-fangled Falcon is very much a character in its own right, and history tells us that Han eventually wins his future ship after challenging Lando to a game of Sabacc.

I wonder what that could be? Youā€™ll have to see. The Falcon is a character in the movie, without a doubt. That machine is a defining factor in Hanā€™s future. Every aspect of this movie moves, shifts, and transforms in very interesting and yet plausible ways.

Punch it, Chewie! SoloĀ swoops into theaters on May 25th and when it does, it’ll be remembered as a hand-crafted love letter to the Star Wars films of old. Indeed, Rogue One achieved a similar feat back in 2016, but with characters like Chewie and Lando involved, there’s a real sense of legacy coursing through the veins of Solo.
