First full trailer has been released for the new Han Solo movie coming out on May 25th.
Set prior to the events of the original 1977 film, it explores the adventures of a young Han Solo and Chewbacca, including meeting Lando Calrissian. The film stars Alden Ehrenreich as Solo, alongside Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Thandie Newton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Joonas Suotamo, and Paul Bettany.
Principal photography began in January 2017 at Pinewood Studios, under the direction of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The pair left the project in June 2017 after reportedly being fired over "creative differences" with Lucasfilm, and Ron Howard took over directing duties.
They finally released the trailer...only 3 and a half months before release date. Let's hope the rumored chaos behind the scenes doesn't blatantly show in the final product.
I hope it is good. But if it bombs due to "creative differences", I hope it kills all desire for prequel movies and they start making original characters. Just give me a noir detective film on Coruscant or something.
Edit: So does he get the Falcon, become friend with Chewie and Lando and do the famous run all during the length of this film?
Trailer looks pretty cheesy, not very hyped. Also he seems to want to be a hero already while he's supposed to be a greedy, first shooting, scoundrel. I want a scoundrel movie. I feel like he only turned semi good guy after meeting Leia. At least he gets to charm the mother of dragons
All I want from this film is the Kessel Run though
Obi Wan hasn't even officially been announced or cast yet, though it has been rumored for a long time and Stephen Daldry is in early talks to direct it. But any trailers for it released so far would be fan trailers.

It would be hard to find the same way looking Han. So get over it and let's hope it gonna be better then TLJ.
This guy looks close enough...
I'm on the same boat as Plansix, hopefully this shows that recycling original characters and stories from the previous films doesn't work and we finaly get something new.
This idea is particularly stupid because the best part of the Solo story in the orginal SW is his personal arc, turning from a rogue selfich A-hole to a hero. Either he's going to be a A-hole the whole movie (without the Ford charisma) or they are going to shoe-in the fact that he's been a hero the whole time...
I'm just sad that Ron Howard is involved. I wish he would stick to well written moveis instead of the Dan Brown shits or this.
Yeah.... I'm not buying that guy's Solo... idk, there's a lot of stuff in the trailer that rubs me the wrong way. I hope that "new" Falcon isn't the real falcon....I'd be disapointed because that kinda ruins the magic and charm of the original Falcon. It also wouldnt make sense that the Falcon went from THAT to the Falcon we know, all rusted in like, 5-10 years?
Also Han has never really expressed any need to be some amazing pilot previously that I'm aware of. His motivations seem way out of character. It makes his motivations seem way too similar to Luke's.
Also It's less impressive if the hotshot pilot" wins in the fancy new hotness than it is if he does it with old and busted ship.
Well, it depends how they do it. I won't mind if they make Han a true believer in the Empire when he signs up, then has a dose of reality, but becomes a cynic- a sort of, 'heroes get shot, I might as well get as much money as I can and always escape to live another day' sort of attitude. He is the archetypal rogue with a heart of gold, so it could make sense to begin with the ideal and noble Han and end with a pessimistic and mercenary Han.
However, after Last Jedi, I'm not too confident about coherent story arcs. We'll see.
It'll be interesting to see if all the spin-offs play around in the old universe. The new trilogy hasn't really set up a lot to play around with- the story focus is so tight, you have no idea what else is going on in the galaxy, they Battle of Jakku is only one year after Endor, so there's basically thirty years of truce... not exactly good story telling material, and they've re-established a bipolar universe, instead breaking off into multiple factions, which would increase the amount of storytelling options for any future spin-offs.
