'SOLO': SMOOTH CRIMINAL!


Where there's a young hotshot Han Solo, there's got to be a young Lando Calrissian too, and who better to bring him to life for this prequel adventure - Solo: A Star Wars Story - than rising star talent actor/writer/musician Donald Glover, who, from the early teaser looks a confident and comfortable fit in the role originally brought to suave and heroic life by Billy Dee Williams. In these early days of his charismatic era of adventure, we'll see him as the original owner of the Millennium Falcon (certainly a much cleaner and fully repaired version than the one we'll see with Han years later), working alongside his trusty droid, the feisty but inspiring L3-37.

Glover talks about becoming, and inheriting the legacy, of Lando Calrissian:
http://ew.com/movies/2018/02/07/harrison-ford-solo-star-wars-story/


Before the film gets released, look out for Lando as one of the main characters of the upcoming Han Solo all-new prequel adventure novel: Last Shot, out April 18th in the UK, from Century. His visage bares the book's alternate collector's hardcover jacket, which, like Lando, is very cool.

Get Last Shot here:

EPISODE VIII: DELETED SCENE NEWS...


In his ancient rock hut on Ahch-To, shut off from Rey and Chewie, Luke Skywalker shows grief with the news of Han Solo's murder, in a deleted scene from The Last Jedi that, despite the pacing issues, really, really shouldn't have been cut out of the film!

COMING SOON: 'SOLO - LAST SHOT'


He's been an important and enduring part of the Expanded Universe of STAR WARS original novels since 1978/79, so it's great to see an all-new prequel era adventure for Han Solo, with lovable Chewbacca and smooth-operator Lando Calrissian tagging along: Last Shot, coming out just in time before the cinematic release of Solo: A Star Wars Story in May 2018.

Here's the latest press info on Last Shot from UK STAR WARS book release giants Century:

Han Solo and Lando Calrissian star in an action-packed novel that ties into the new Han Solo film - due to release May 25, 2018.

Han Solo and Chewbacca team up with the galaxy’s most charming rogue, Lando Calrissian, in an epic novel that spans decades – set both around the events of the new Han Solo film and years later, after Return of the Jedi.


Read the full announcement here: 



Get Last Shot in UK hardback (from April 19th, 2018) here:

BEHIND THE SCENES: BACK IN THE BEGINNING...


On a warm day during Summer 1976, the Death Star hangar interior set at Elstree Studios is about to get very busy with action and pyrotechnics galore, as writer/director George Lucas goes through the upcoming battle of the heroes escape with his main cast, and most notably Harrison Ford, inhabiting the ever blaster weapon firing smuggler/pilot, Han Solo.

With the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story, find out how Ford and Lucas made their own unique behind the scenes contributions to the origins adventure...

EPISODE VIII: REY THE JEDI?


Whether or not these have already fully appeared online I don't know, but here's two great costume reference/marketing shots nonetheless of the new look Rey, as played by Daisy Ridley, looking cooler and more Jedi-like than ever in the face of her ongoing encounter with the mysterious and emotionally haunted Luke Skywalker, for the upcoming The Last Jedi.

EPISODE VIII: THE NEW 'ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY' COVERS DEBUT!





Looking decidedly very Alec Guinness-y, Mark Hamill's bearded and cloaked Luke Skywalker makes an atmospheric and no doubt ominous appearance whilst gracing the first of two covers for Entertainment Weekly's start-up proper coverage of The Last Jedi, out today on US newsstands, of which the second cover features the heroic, ready-to-take-a-stand lightsaber wielding figure of Daisy Ridley's Rey, in her latest outfit, also on the remote and mysterious island world of Ahch-to, likely home to the original Jedi of generations past.


Check out the web coverage and the newly released film images for EPISODE VIII here:

ROGUE ONE: THE ANTI-THREEPIO!


A STAR WARS film without a lead droid just wouldn't be the same, would it? And with ROGUE ONE, the storytellers are going for something a little different but no less memorable with the seven-foot electronic creation that will be helping Jyn Erso and her commando squad infiltrate the enemy enclaves of Scarif: the former Imperial droid newly programmed with unexpected attitude and glib comebacks, often to his true friend in Captain Cassian Andor- the tall and bulky K-2SO, whom we're sure, thanks to great CGI and sci-fi genre favourite Alan Tudkyk, will be a scene stealer and action hero in his own right.

ROGUE ONE: WELCOME BACK, LORD VADER!


As if there was any doubt that the Emperor's right hand servant for darkness wouldn't be in ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY! Vader may ultimately be in it for one specific sequence, hopefully in a mask/costume in continuity with EPISODE IV, but we're sure it'll be a great one.
