A fan who claims to have seen the trailer for Lucasfilm's upcoming "Solo: A Star Wars Story" has shared its details online.

The description, posted by user Risssk on Reddit, is a hypothetical rundown of what he/she caught from the alleged trailer. According to the tipster, the footage includes cropped shots of Han Solo's holstered blaster and dice; wookies getting transferred somewhere in a never-before-seen planet; Woody Harrelson's character, Beckett, looking paranoid; and Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) roaring next to Han. Lando (Donald Glover) is reportedly heard narrating as well, saying, "it's not worth the risk," and another unseen character stating, "l'll make him pay."

Seeing the comments on the post, majority do not buy the alleged trailer description not only because the Redditor did not provide any context on how he/she received the information but also because leaked descriptions are rarely ever spot on. Still, some of the shots sound plausible enough to be featured.

According to Screen Rant, the "Han Solo" spinoff will cover Han's fateful first meeting with the Wookie warrior Chewbacca and winning the Millenial Falcon from Lando. This suggests the scene where wookies are being transferred and Solo's iconic gold dice may end up in the actual trailer.

At this point, Disney has yet to announce the release date of the spinoff's first promo but with "Solo" a little over five months away, it may arrive sooner than later. In a separate article, the same publication estimates Disney would drop it around January.

Lucasfilm often rolls out trailers at big events or during TV shows on Disney-owned networks like "Good Morning America" on ABC or "Monday Night Football" on ESPN. However, since there are no major celebrations next year, the "Solo" trailer may debut on one of the two, with MNF likely to air it on Jan. 8, 2018.

"Solo: A Star Wars Story" will premiere on May 25, 2018.
