A scoundrel in the making - Han Solo trailer 2 first thoughts

April 2018
Alastair Clark

With opinion still divided on The Last Jedi, I think it’s safe to say that expectations are building for Solo. I for one am hoping that this is a film that expands on what we know from the past in a positive way and brings all the Star Wars community back together, so no pressure then.

So let me break down just a few of my personal favourite takeaways from the trailer:
Picture
​The opening shot of the trailer could be Corellia, the shipyard planet where Han Solo was born.
​
Picture
​According to Lucasfilm, the Falcon in Solo is “the closest we’ve ever seen to what a brand new or well-taken care of version of a Corellian freighter would look" and this trailer delivers, just look at the forward mandibles.
Picture
​Is that Chewbacca with another Wookie?

​Could it be his wife Malla and canonise his history that was previously established in the Star Wars Holiday Special?
Picture
​Here’s our first proper introduction of Lando’s droid sidekick, L3-37.

So this is a Ranger Trooper. From the packaging of a Star Wars: The Black Series six-inch action figure.

​“The Imperial expansion requires the settlement of vital operations on remote worlds,” and “These frontier Stormtroopers form a backbone of stubborn defense against would-be thieves and pirates”.
Picture
This is the weapon of Dryden Vos with his brass knuckles lighting up with a laser-blade similar to what we saw on the Praetorian Guards in The Last Jedi.
What did you think of the trailer? What were your favorite moments?
