That’s according to the first full-length trailer for _Solo:_ [_A Star Wars_](http://time.com/5104584/last-jedi-mens-rights/?iid=sr-link2 "undefined") _Story_, released on ABC’s _Good Morning America_ on Monday. Super Bowl watchers got [a brief teaser for the film](http://time.com/5132872/star-wars-solo-super-bowl/?iid=sr-link1 "undefined"), which featured Alden Ehrenreich as the young Han Solo off jetting through that far-away galaxy in a new-looking Millennium Falcon with his trusted sidekick, Chewbacca, and best frenemy, Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover). The full trailer tells a little more of the story. In the clip, Ehrenreich’s Solo says that he’s been running scams since he was a kid, was kicked out of a flight academy for “having a mind of my own,” and meets a man named Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson) who is putting together a crew, _Ocean’s Eleven_ style. If that’s not enough to get [_Star Wars_](http://time.com/4936666/star-wars-actors-almost-cast-leonardo-dicaprio/?iid=sr-link9 "undefined") fans excited (or at least willing to give _this_ prequel a chance), there’s also _Game of Thrones_ star Emilia Clarke in her role as Qi’Ra and plenty of TIE fighters and star destroyers. As for how this all explains the [origin story](http://time.com/5105969/star-wars-the-last-jedi-rian-johnson-rey-parents/?iid=sr-link1 "undefined") of young Han Solo, fans will undoubtedly get a few more hints during the months-long build-up until the film is finally released on May 25th, 2018. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5133267/the-first-full-trailer-for-solo-a-star-wars-story-is-here/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5133267/the-first-full-trailer-for-solo-a-star-wars-story-is-here/"},"headline":"The First Full Trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story Is Here","datePublished":"2018-02-05T16:14:16.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:50:19.914Z","description":"Come for Han Solo, stay for the Lando Calrissian","url":"https://time.com/5133267/the-first-full-trailer-for-solo-a-star-wars-story-is-here/","keywords":["movies","Newsfeed","Star Wars topic","Han Solo"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2768b41a8be551ca/6988fa9bab6d776ba76b19c9/solo_a_star_wars_story_xlg.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2768b41a8be551ca/6988fa9bab6d776ba76b19c9/solo_a_star_wars_story_xlg.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"solo_a_star_wars_story_xlg","caption":"","creditText":"Walt Disney Studios","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5133267/the-first-full-trailer-for-solo-a-star-wars-story-is-here/","name":"The First Full Trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story Is Here"}}]}] ```
