The next chapter in the new Star Wars run at Disney goes back to tell the tale of the early days of Han Solo’s criminal career, as he teams up with a veteran thief, his former love interest and future allies Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian to pull a seemingly impossible heist for a major crime syndicate.

Probably due to a variety of factors and some big competition at the box office, Solo did not perform up to the expectations of Disney over the holiday weekend, making far less than any of it’s predecessors in the new wave of Star Wars films.

The first full month of Summer 2018 closes out with the next spin-off side story of the Star Wars saga in Solo, as a young Han Solo joins a criminal crew working a job for a major underworld boss.

Han Solo and his partner Chewbacca join a criminal crew being assembled by a dangerous underworld figure in the upcoming Star Wars Story prequel, Solo, arriving in May.

After lots of messy and public behind the scenes drama, our first look at Solo, the next “Star Wars Story”, is here as Alden Ehrenreich takes on the iconic role in a prequel that finds the young smuggler joining a crew for a job that includes Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian.
