With that in mind, here's a pitch: #MakeSolo2Happen (credit for the hashtag goes to fans who have been lobbying tirelessly on Twitter for months for a big-screen follow-up). Originating the role, Harrison Ford was mesmerizing as the space mercenary who tried hard to hide his innate decency but who ultimately always followed his conscience, whether he liked to admit it or not. This is the guy, after all, who saved the day in 1977's Star Wars, turning up in the Falcon at just the right moment during the Battle of Yavin to help the Rebel Alliance take down the Death Star. Although it still surpassed $200 million in North America, with international tallies topping $390 million, by Star Wars standards, that's not exactly hitting the jackpot.Įverything to Know about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerīut if anyone knows how to stage a comeback, it's Han Solo. Dogged by reports of on-set turmoil after Ron Howard was brought on to replace original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, Solo just couldn't quite catch flight at the box office.
Released on the heels of 2017's The Last Jedi, which sparked controversy for some of its moodier and more daring narrative choices, Solo: A Star Wars Story had a hard time shaking its reputation as a troubled production. This time, however, the odds weren't exactly in his favor - even if, as we all know, he makes the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.
Played by Alden Ehrenreich, Han is just about to steer the Millennium Falcon through the dangerous Kessel Run, a kind of interstellar obstacle course littered with carbon-bergs and tentacled creatures, not to mention a collection of black holes known as the Maw. "I've got a really good feeling about this!" It's what a young Han Solo exclaims in a key moment in Solo: A Star Wars Story, the standalone action-adventure released in May 2018 that explored the formative events in the life of the cynical pilot-turned-hero.
