Check Out Han Solo On This Weeks Cover Of Entertainment Weekly Along With Some New Details
Entertainment Weekly's upcoming cover story this week is none other than Solo: A Star Wars Story. Two trailers & now this back to back to back are trying to make up for the lack of exposure, at least for a Star Wars film, unusually close to the May 25th release date. With more coming throughout the week they dish some little nuggets on what Lucasfilm prez Kathleen Kennedy describes as "A heist, gunslinger type movie". Speaking of which, that monorail on steroids in the trailer? That's the Conveyex, a train Han must break into & steal something from to impress his new cohorts. Figuring thats the start of where she gets the heist portion from. Han's described as immature, less experienced, & needing to "gain the respect of the people he interacts with, even if they're the lowest of the low." Throughout he'll befriend Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo), go crazy in love for shadowy Qui'ra (Emilia Clarke), & of course there's Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover) & his droid L3-37. The young smuggler will also cross paths with "career crooks" Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson), blaster wielding Val (Thandie Newton), & crime boss Dryden Vos (Paul Bettany). Ehrenreich is then quoted as saying he thinks Han is really just trying to figure out who's good & who's bad. This, the trailers, so far this film sounds awesome. It all is going to hinge on Alden Ehrenreich's portrayal of Han Solo. We'll just have to wait & see. There'll be more coming from this article, there was already some more pics with more details on some of these characters. Until then, what do you think about where this is at so far? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
