No matter what anyone says, the love for Star Wars is truly unique! Thankfully, fans of the series have been smiling a lot in recent years after patiently waiting for sequels. With the recent releases of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rogue One, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, anticipation is at an all-time high for the upcoming blockbuster, Solo: A Star Wars Story!
Let’s explore four reasons why we’re eagerly awaiting Solo: A Star Wars Story, which focuses on one of the most important characters in the series, Han Solo!
Because Han Solo is Irreplaceable!
If there’s a character that Star Wars enthusiasts adore even more than Luke Skywalker, it’s undoubtedly Han Solo! Before this film, the character played by Harrison Ford, who has become legendary on the big screen, is actually an anti-hero, but his undeniable charm makes it impossible not to love him. Initially a lone space smuggler, Han Solo is later known for winning everyone’s heart in the galaxy, perhaps due to his love for Princess Leia. The chance to witness Han Solo’s rebellious, cheeky character in his younger years along with his cool demeanor is sure to excite fans immensely.
The Queen of Hearts, Emilia Clarke’s Impact
One of the thrilling aspects of this film is definitely seeing our beloved Khaleesi, Emilia Clarke, grace the screen. Making her debut in the Star Wars universe, Clarke portrays a driven young woman named Qi’Ra. During the oppressive imperial era ruled by Darth Vader, Qi’Ra fights for survival alongside Han Solo, as two partners who grew up together. However, reports suggest a romantic connection might blossom between these two characters in the film.
A Deep Dive into the Millennium Falcon
In recent films, we’ve seen Han Solo with his old and worn-out spaceship, the Millennium Falcon, alongside his loyal friend, Chewbacca. However, in Solo: A Star Wars Story, we are expected to see how Han won the sparkling Millennium Falcon from Lando through a gamble, along with several references to Luke’s witty remarks about this iconic ship. In short, one of the central characters in Solo: A Star Wars Story will undoubtedly be the Millennium Falcon, which is sure to capture the imagination.
An Experimental Star Wars Experience with a Western Flavor
For those who have followed the older Star Wars films, Han Solo’s distinctive, rebellious cowboy style will feel familiar. The film Solo: A Star Wars Story embraces this style, presenting a storyline steeped in Western vibes. With meticulously planned cinematography, viewers can expect numerous nods to the Wild West, including camera angles typical of Westerns and thrilling heist tales.
