Lucasfilm and Disney released the official trailer for “Solo: A Star Wars Story” on Sunday and it looks like it may be the wildest “Star Wars” movie of all time.
The upcoming movie serves as a Han Solo origin film and precludes the story line presented in the very first “Star Wars” film “A New Hope,” released in 1977. Solo, famously played by Harrison Ford, has always been the renegade of the franchise films so it’s only right that his origin story be an absolute thrill ride.
The official trailer introduces a handful of new characters from Solo’s smuggling life before coming across Luke Skywalker and playing an essential role with the rebellion. As it’s always been with Han, it looks like he was just as wild when in his younger years as he was later on.
Obviously Ford is far too old to play the role for the origin story, but he reportedly served as something of an advisor for Alden Ehrenreich, who plays a young Solo. (RELATED: Harrison Ford’s Fingerprints Are All Over The New ‘Solo’ Film)
“Tell them I told you everything you needed to know, and that you can’t tell anyone,” Ehrenreich said of his advice from Ford. “I gotta stick to my orders from the man himself,” he added.
Safe to say Ford’s fingerprints were all over this one. So it should be just as wild a ride this time around as it’s always been with the captain of the Millennium Falcon.
