With no trailer or official images released at this stage — plus Ron Howard coming on board midway through shooting as a replacement director — some fans are worried about the movie.
Hoping to diminish those worries, LucasFilm has finally released an official synopsis for the anthology instalment. Unfortunately, the studio has decided to give absolutely nothing away.
“Board the Millennium Falcon and journey to a galaxy far, far away in Solo: A Star Wars Story, an all-new adventure with the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy,” the synopses reads.
“Through a series of daring escapades deep within a dark and dangerous criminal underworld, Han Solo meets his mighty future copilot Chewbacca and encounters the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian, in a journey that will set the course of one of the Star Wars saga’s most unlikely heroes.”
Speaking earlier this month about the upcoming spin-off, Donald Glover — who plays Lando — commented on the director change, saying the production barely changed.
Solo: A Star Wars Story reaches cinemas 25 May, 2018.
