Lucasfilm seems to be keeping a tight lid on all details about "Solo: A Star Wars Story," but one important information may have just been revealed, courtesy of Google.
The search result for "Solo" on Monday reveals the film's total length is at 2 hours and 23 minutes. It is unclear where exactly Google is pulling the information from. However, Comic Book speculates that the "assembly cut" of the movie might have been completed last week, which could be the source of Google's runtime projection.
Assuming it is accurate, "Solo" would be a minute longer than the "Attack of the Clones," making it the second-longest "Star Wars" film behind "The Last Jedi." Episode II runs for 2 hours and 22 minutes, while Episode VIII runs for 2 hours and 32 minutes.
"Solo" promises dark and dangerous adventures for the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy. Per its official synopsis, the anthology pic follows a young Han Solo, to be played by Alden Ehrenreich, "through a series of daring escapades deep within a dark and dangerous criminal underworld" where he meets who would later become his co-pilot, Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) and the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover).
Lucasfilm has yet to release the first trailer for the film, and it does not have a specific date for that. However, the latest rumor claims it is scheduled to debut in theaters alongside "Maze Runner: The Death Cure" on Friday, Jan. 26 and online on Wednesday, Jan. 24.
Of course, there have been similar speculations before that were proven incorrect, so fans will have to treat this one as a rumor pending an official announcement. If it turns out wrong again, the next plausible date would be when the New England Patriots take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII, on Feb. 4. Either way, fans will not have to wait much longer.
"Solo: A Star Wars Story" opens in cinemas on May 25.
