L-R: Phoebe Waller-Bridge as 元-37, Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, and Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian.īefore Han Solo (Harrison Ford) was the mythic pilot that farmboy Luke (Mark Hamill) and monk warrior Obi-wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) hired to help them save a beleaguered princess (Carrie Fisher), a young Han (Alden Ehrenreich) was a bandit, a thief, and a scam artist trying to survive on the streets of Corellia.
