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

Han’s Scams And Street Racing

Now onto the full-length trailer. First off, it repeats the beginning of the TV spot – briefly showing Han piloting a ship by pressing the buttons in a rhythmic manner. It then cuts to him engaging in a bit of reckless racing as he plows a podcar through an Imperial backlot. You’ll note that Emilia Clarke’s character (more on her in a moment) is in the car with him.

Ehrenreich also provides an opening voiceover, just in case any of us aren’t familiar with the sort of guy Han Solo is. “I’ve been running scams on the streets since I was ten,” he explains, to someone unseen. “I was kicked out of the flight academy for having a mind of my own. I’m gonna be a pilot… The best in the galaxy.”

This narration will likely come from later on in the movie, as the overlayed scenes of Han going wild with a podcar are probably the reason he got kicked out of the academy. Though the last line seems to be taken from the moment where he signs up for the position, as seen in the TV spot.
