In the first batch of photos from Solo: A Star Wars Story [1], Han Solo's life has never looked more fun. The upcoming standalone spinoff isn't due out until May 25, but fortunately we have plenty to keep us busy until then. Not only is its first-ever trailer [2] full of exciting moments — a blossoming friendship with Chewbacca! A Twi'lek! The Millennium Falcon looking . . . different! — but the aforementioned photos give us an excellent look at the film's stellar cast [3]. See Alden Ehrenreich, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, and the rest of the gang in action below.
A tense moment in the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo), Beckett (Woody Harrelson), Qi'ra (Emilia Clarke), and the man himself, Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich).
We don't know much about Harrelson's Beckett so far, other than that he recruits Han for a job.
To be honest, this photo of Clarke as Qi'ra wouldn't be out of place in some lavish period drama.
Thandie Newton's Val looks like she means business, no?
Is your heart bursting?
If anyone can do Billy Dee Williams justice as Lando Calrissian, it's Donald Glover.
Just look at how flawlessly he pulls off that giant fur coat!
Han taking it all in with some help from Riverdale's fog machines [4].
Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge plays a new droid, L3-37, who we can only assume will be full of sarcastic quips.
OK someone needs to tell us what that coat is made of ASAP.
And also where we can buy this coat. Solo: An Excellent Collection of Coats Story.
Feast your eyes on The Conveyex.
Han gets ready to do battle. Who do you think will shoot first?
Beckett and Han having a chat (something tells us their friendship won't end well).
