Yesterdayafternoon, word started spreading that a new — and perhaps final — trailer for Solo:
A Star Wars Story would
land this evening. Sometime during American Idol, they said… of course without saying
exactly when.
Turns out: now.
You can see it here:
I
had my doubts after the last trailer, but I’m loving this
one. Donald Glover as young Lando is just perfect.
The
trailer roll-out for Solo started a bit later than most expected, presumably
because of the relatively late director swap out. Ron Howard took over the
film’s metaphorical cockpit in June of last year — about four months into
production — after the original directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller
(also the directors of The Lego Movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and 21 Jump Street )
were taken off the project. Howard’s changes,
while still mostly a mystery,
reportedly involved weeks of reshoots.
Howard tweeted at the
end of March that his edits were “locked” – as of this morning, meanwhile, they
were mixing the musical score.
Whatever Howard ended
up changing, the film will almost certainly end up as yet another point of
debate amongst the fanbase. When you’re tinkering with the backstory of a
character like Han Solo (and Lando!), with fans that have watched the originals
a billion times, contention is a given.
