Okay, here's what I think is great about this poster. Sure, it doesn't look like a "traditional" Star Wars movie poster. You know what it reminds me of?

The old paperbacks that came out post-IV but pre-V:




Which I think this movie is trying to go for....that pulp paperback look/feel that's just a bit outside the Star Wars Universe we've seen in the movies before.

Big shot gangster!?

Putting together a crew!?

Jabba the Hutt PLEASE be Jabba

Doubtful... in fact on rewatch it very much appears that they are referring to the scarred face man that they show in close-up while that line is said and just before in full length.





Is the scar-faced guy Paul Bettany's character?

I feel better about the movie after watching the trailer. I know Han is a huge role to fill for all the reasons previously discussed, but don't forget Lando's role as well. Not sure if Donald Glover can bring that effortless suave and smooth persona that Billy Dee Williams had. That will be a critical of the movie for me,

From reddit. This is Harrison Ford, 10 years before ANH. (Ie. The age he would be in Solo.)

Damn. That's a lot closer than I would have thought.

Damn. That's pretty close.

Let's hope he can channel the same swagger/confidence Han has.

Oh so is this the same crystal skull Indiana was looking for from the "aliens?" So really he found an object that he probably stole many years ago in a galaxy far far away. It would be a sweet tie-in between franchises

Just imagine how 1/6 would've played out if DC hadn't had such strict gun laws.

Two people starred his post as of the time of this signature. Those 3 people are allowed to vote in the US.

I'm pretty stoked after that trailer. I particularly am looking forward to the Han-Chewie banter. I get a very Butch Cassidy-Sundance Kid vibe from it.

They're going definitely going more grungy/textural for the look of this, which as a designer is super intriguing to see as it's so different from past Star Wars media. A few more pieces from this tweet:

I just can't put my finger on whom he looks like. It's not Ford, imo.

How great of a line is this for young Han Solo knowing what we know:
"Assume everyone will betray you, and you will never be disappointed."

Edit: Advice given to him (wasn't clear in my post).

he definitely could have done the role....15 years ago.

No, I'm saying the new Solo actor looks more like Mal than Han.

I know I was just saying he would have been an obvious choice...then.

Ok....am I missing something or is the background definitely Tatooine? Got 2 suns, desert, and those buildings in the background are bringing up memories of ROTJ.

Also, are those rebel bunker busters (sic) in the background?

I don't think you're missing anything. Tatooine is where we first met Han.

So have we talked about the fact there's a character named Therm Scissorpunch? (from the Denny's trading cards)

Calling my shot now. Final scene is on Tatooine.

Could be Corellia. Those look like Corellian corvettes (same as Leia's ship at the open of Star Wars).

Although, strong odds it's just Tatooine

final scene is the...wait for it...very last moment before Luke and Obi-Wan walk up to the table!

TOTAL MIND BLOWER

Camera from behind Chewie and Han as they watch Obi-Wan slice off an arm, would be cool.

I think you're more likely to just see Obi Wan walk by in the background or bump into Han outside the cantina.

I'd just like to find out why Evazan and Ponde Baba disliked Luke so much that they were instantly willing to escalate to murder.

It was laid out in Tales from the Cantina, but that is no longer canon.

Prediction: Final scene is not Obi Wan. Final scene is Han meeting a new client about a smuggling job, uncomfortable look on his face as he sees client for the first time, Jabba laughing in background... cut to black.

Ties back to OT and leaves door open to Solo II: An Oxymoron Story.
