Until now, this Star Wars spinoff’s primary talking point has been the firing of co-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller — who were replaced by Ron Howard with just three weeks left to the production in June. Still, fans of the episodic sci-fi serial are champing at the bit to see Alden Ehrenreich’s embodiment of a young Han Solo in this stand-alone installment — variously described as a “space Western” and a “gangster movie” — which is set prior to the events of 1977’s original Star Warsand plotted around the roguish galaxy-far-far-away smuggler’s pre-Rebellion adventures with Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover). In the absence of a first trailer, details remain scant, but hot rumor has it that longtime Solo nemesis Boba Fett puts in an appearance.
