The Star Wars Show brings the star power this week with Alden Ehrenreich (Han Solo) and Donald Glover (Lando Calrissian) to talk about Solo.
New Last Shot excerpt with Lando, L3-37
StarWars.com is back with our third Last Shot excerpt – this one featuring a pre-Solo Lando Calrissian and L3-37.
The first two excerpts were Han with baby Ben, and Han with Sana Starros. Last Shot, by Daniel José Older, will be out in hardcover and eBook on April 17.
Fine dining, Lando style
We got a big list of Solo merchandise yesterday, and most of it is standard stuff that I’ll leave to the collectors. But as I looked over it this morning, I spotted something new, and it’s super hilarious: The “Lando Tabletop Collection” from seven20.
New Solo pic, Alden Ehrenreich on Han
In USA Today’s summer movie preview, Solo star Alden Ehrenreich reveals the first scene he filmed, and talked about how young Han differs from the Harrison Ford version. We also get a new picture from that sandy location we’ve seen a few times now.
The Last Jedi tops home video sales charts
It might be hard to tell if you have a tendency to spend too much time on social media, but The Last Jedi isn’t having any trouble selling Blu-rays and DVDs. 2017’s top box office earner is now leading home video sales charts “by a wide margin,” per Variety. Second placer Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which debuted at #1 last week, only sold 29% as much as The Last Jedi this week.
Star Wars out this week: Thrawn, Darth Vader comics
Just two comics coming out on Wednesday, April 11: Thrawn #3 and Darth Vader #14.
Next week, though, brings the year’s first all-new novel: Daniel José Older’s Last Shot, which will tie into Solo. It’s the first of the Solo books, with the rest due out on the film’s release date of May 25. Check out our release schedule for the lineup.
New trailer, poster for Solo
The full Solo trailer is here, with more on Han, Chewbacca, Lando, Qi’ra, L3-37 and our first look at Paul Bettany’s Dryden Vos.
Tickets aren’t going on sale tonight, but it can’t be long now. Head under the cut for a look at the new poster and some stills from, the trailer.
New Solo trailer debuts Sunday
A new Solo trailer is debuting Sunday, official accounts are teasing. There’s a promo out there that pegs it as appearing during ABC’s American Idol reboot, which starts at 8:00 p.m. (Since it’s not football season, but honestly… I’d rather watch football. Luckily, it’s 2018 and we have Twitter and Youtube.)

French car commercial gives us a look at Solo’s Conveyex
A Renault commercial features Solo’s Conveyex, Chewbacca, Millennium Falcon and speeder bike gang.
Keeping with the French, we’ve also learned an interesting detail about one of the film’s antagonists. Several new publicity images/posters have also appeared.
New Last Shot excerpt with Sana Starros
Our second excerpt from Daniel José Older’s Last Shot – the Solo tie-in novel – features Sana Starros. Starros first appeared in Marvel’s Star Wars comic back in 2015, and has been a regular in the comics ever since. Last Shot will be her first time in a novel.
The first excerpt, from March, is a moment of Han with baby Ben. Last Shot will be out in hardcover and eBook on April 17.
