10 Things We Learned From The First Solo: A Star Wars Story Trailer

We finally have our first look at Solo: A Star Wars Story in the form of a short TV spot and the first full teaser trailer. The prequel movie's had a very trying time of it so far, as its problems behind the scenes have been well-documented. Yet, after the firing of original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, Ron Howard shepherded the film over the finish line and things seemed to show a lot more promise.

New Locations

The TV spot gives us a look at what could be a thrilling set piece in the movie.

At one point, we see a strange-looking alien train or monorail of some kind which is winding through a desolate snowy landscape. A later scene returns to the same location and sees two individuals engaged in a deadly blaster battle on top of the train. It’s difficult to make out, but we think this might be Woody Harrelson’s character battling some unknown villain. And no, despite what every fan might be hoping, we’re 100% sure that it isn’t Boba Fett.

Secondly, another new location is introduced in the TV spot. It seems that Solo and his pals will visit some gold-plated night club at some point in the movie, as we glimpse one such place here. Fans will be pleased to note that there are a couple of classic Star Wars aliens dancing in the club, too – namely, Twi’Leks – the green-skinned race with head-tentacles.
