New Star Wars Solo Clip Sees Han And Chewie Fly Together For The First Time

The much-anticipated spin-off Solo: A Star Wars Story finally arrives this month, and Disney's publicity machine is in full effect. Following the TV spot and Millennium Falcon tour last week, we have a new clip.

It's a classic bit of Star Wars action, as Han and Chewbacca pilot the Falcon through some sort of electrical storm with TIE Fighters hot their tail. The big difference here is that Han and Chewie clearly haven't known each other long, and we see the Wookiee takes his seat next to the legendary smuggler for the first time. Co-star Emilia Clarke--who plays Qi'Ra--also appears in the scene, and there's a blast of the classic Star Wars music in there too. Check it out above.

Solo: A Star Wars Story stars Alden Ehrenreich as Han, Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca, and Donald Glover as Lando, plus Woody Harrelson, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Thandie Newton. It hits theaters on May 25, 2018. Ehrenreich recently let slip that his contract covers three appearances as Han, so we could be seeing more of the actor in the iconic role. However, director Ron Howard has said that there are "no concrete plans" for a Solo sequel.

Howard replaced original directors Chris Lord and Phil Miller during the movie's production last year. Last week, Howard appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and spoke about coming onto the movie once it had already been shooting for several months. When asked about his first day on set, Howard said it was "chaotic," and that he was feeling both anxious and "pumped up" at the same time.

It has also been reported that pre-sales for Solo suggest that the movie will be another massive hit. Advance ticket sales went on sale on Star Wars Day (May 4), and according to ticketing company Fandango, sales over the next 24 hours outpaced those of Black Panther, with only Avengers: Infinity War selling more in the same time period.
