There is not much known about "Solo: A Star Wars Story" yet, but its leaked new LEGO sets may have just revealed a few details that could have huge implications for the upcoming spin-off.
Photos of the new playsets recently surfaced online, giving fans a look at the Millenium Falcon and other "Star Wars" ships. It offers information about the new characters, too, while also featuring the film's key characters like Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian. However, the most intriguing part of the leaked LEGO set is another minifigure of the human smuggler dressed as an Imperial officer.
Check out the photos below:
According to Comic Book, it could hint at a quick scene in "Solo" that would see the young Han in such guise. Of course, not everything on a LEGO merchandise reflects on its tie-in movie. But as the publication notes, making that particular design for the lead character looks like a tip for a plot point.
Paul Bettany, who boarded the spin-off in an undisclosed role, previously described the film as a
"gangster movie." Given it will focus on Han Solo's early years as a smuggler, the film is expected to be a mix of origin, caper, and heist genre. If anything, Han and his comrades could very well be on a mission to snag an important artifact from the Empire.
Other clues from the leaked merchandise include the Corellian Hounds, which fuels previous rumors that the film will feature Han's home planet of Corellia; and the white and blue Millenium Falcon called Kessel Run, teasing the space freighter's new appearance in the movie.
With a few months left until its premiere, the trailer should be here anytime now. Disney has yet to formally give a date for the release of the trailer, but writer-director Ron Howard recently teased on Twitter that it "won't be long" before the first footage arrives.
Starring Alden Ehrenreich as the galaxy's greatest smuggler, "Solo: A Star Wars Story" premieres in theaters on May 24.
