10 Things We Learned From The First Solo: A Star Wars Story Trailer

We finally have our first look at Solo: A Star Wars Story in the form of a short TV spot and the first full teaser trailer. The prequel movie's had a very trying time of it so far, as its problems behind the scenes have been well-documented. Yet, after the firing of original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, Ron Howard shepherded the film over the finish line and things seemed to show a lot more promise.

The final shot of the TV spot is sure to make Star Wars fans everywhere well-up. No matter who it is playing these characters, there’s just something so heartwarming about seeing Han Solo and Chewbacca being pally, reminding us of one of the best friendships in the whole franchise.

In this particular snippet, we see the pair from behind, as they look out over the sea. We’ve no idea what’s happening, but it seems like Han might be in a dark place, so Chewie is giving his friend a pat on the back to comfort him. It’d be hard to mess it up, but it’s encouraging that Solo looks to be nailing the easy affection that the two characters have for each other. Even at this early stage in their lives.

In the full trailer, this is supported by another scene where Han translates Chewie’s cries for the benefit for Harrelson’s character. It just shows that the duo have always been on the same page from the beginning.
