UPDATE – The website ScreenRant.com is reporting that Disney has told them that the image below isn’t official. Is this Disney trying to keep this under wraps for now, or is it legitimately a fan made piece of art? I guess we will find out when the promotional stuff actually starts appearing. So take the article and image below with a grain of salt for now…

We now have our first official look at Alden Ehrenreich, Donald Glover, Joonas Suotamo, and Emilia Clarke from Solo: A Star Wars Story thanks to a Russian Licensing site. Thanks to Orions Belt Creations for the heads up!

As you can see from the photo below, there is a lot of neat stuff going on. Lando appears to have a nice hairdo going on, and Han looks about like expected. The biggest reveal is that of the Millennium Falcon. If that is the Falcon in the picture then it looked a tad different in the beginning compared to where it ends up by Star Wars: A New Hope.

Enjoy!

There is also a description of the film as well. The PDF is in Russian, but a quick google translate reveals:

“Solo is an exciting story about intergalactic adventures, telling the adventures of young Han Solo, about how he got into difficult situations and found an outlet from them, as he became a smuggler, a rebel, a bully, a hero, whom we all love.”

As always, leave your comments in the appropriate places!

Han Solo Cast

We have our first cast photo from the upcoming Han Solo film!  The gang is all here, and boy does Alden Ehrenreich look more like a young Harrison Ford than ever!

Cameras are rolling on the adventure-filled past of the iconic scoundrel and everyone’s favorite Wookiee; principal photography on the untitled Han Solo Star Wars Story officially began February 20 at Pinewood Studios, London.

The movie will explore the duo’s adventures before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, including their early encounters with that other card-playing rogue from a galaxy far, far away, Lando Calrissian.

“Watching such inspired people from all over the world, with such unique voices, come together for the sole purpose of making art, is nothing short of miraculous,” Lord and Miller said. “We can’t think of anything funny to say, because we just feel really moved, and really lucky.”
