New Novel Reveals More About Darth Maul's Role In Solo

The new "Solo" novelization will reveal more about Maul's connection to Dryden Vos and where Qi'ra fits into the puzzle.

From Comicbook.com

Solo: A Star Wars Story offered fans a number of connections to the other chapters of the Star Wars saga in both subtle and obvious ways. One of the more surprising connections was the appearance of Maul in the film's final moments, whose last live-action appearance was in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. The character's brief time on screen left many audiences wondering about his significance, which the upcoming novelization of the film shed light on.

In the film, Qi'ra (Emilia Clarke) defeats Dryden Vos and contacts his boss, which is revealed to be Maul. Qi'ra has a brief conversation with Maul, though it's unclear if the two had any previous connection to one another. Author Mur Lafferty shared with StarWars.com that Qi'ra likely had no idea who the former Sith was.

“I don’t think she would have known who he was,” Lafferty admitted. “They sort of implied that Dryden was beholden to someone a lot more powerful than he was. And so she knew that whoever it was scared him, but she didn’t know that the guy used to be a Sith Lord. She didn’t know who he was. She just knew that that button would call Dryden Vos’ boss.”

While Maul was seemingly killed by Obi-Wan in Phantom Menace, Star Wars: The Clone Wars explained how he survived the ordeal and went on to become a ruthless crime lord. No longer a Sith, he abandoned the "Darth" moniker and went into business with his brother, Savage Oppress.

The character has become one of the most recognizable villains in the Star Wars saga, though Lafferty points out that the galaxy of characters is so large that it's entirely possible that virtually no one would know who Maul was in any capacity.

“It’s hard to think that Vader and Maul and all these great villains we’ve known for so many years, a lot of them were behind the scenes and not known to the general public," Lafferty noted. "Han Solo didn’t even believe in the Jedi, so the grand battles and stuff that are so forefront to the audience are not, necessarily, known to the random person growing up on Corellia."

The novel, which expands on multiple different scenes from the film, as well as include scenes that didn't make the final cut of Solo: A Star Wars Story, hits shelves on September 4th.

Solo: A Star Wars Story - A Quick Review

How Alden Ehrenreich found out about Maul’s shocking appearance in Solo

The appearance of Darth Maul in "Solo" blew my mind. I sure hope they make the rest of this trilogy!

From The Express (UK)
By Shaun Kitchener

Towards the end of the recent Star Wars spin-off, the iconic villain from Episode I: The Phantom Menace is revealed as the mysterious superior to Dryden Vos (Paul Bettany), who by that point had been killed by Qi’Ra (Emilia Clarke).

Clarke is then summoned to see him, at which point the film ends.

Speaking to ET Canada, Ehrenreich said the cast and crew were not informed of Maul’s cameo until incredibly late in the process.

“Late,” he said. “Like, when we were going back and doing a few pick-ups.

“There was a part in the script where it said somebody appears but it didn’t say who, so there was speculation among the cast and crew over who it was gonna be.

“Everyone was kind of talking about it. There were a lot of rumours.”

Asked about how he would like any future sequels to play out, the actor said he just wants to share the screen more with Clarke and Donald Glover.

“I think all the relationships between me and Lando, me and Qi’Ra… all those relationships are so dynamic and fun and interesting,” he reasoned.

Sequel news has not been confirmed by LucasFilm just yet, possibly because of the negative press swirling around Solo’s box office.

Although its haul of just under $180 million in the US is good by many film’s standards, it’s substantially lower than the number it needed to make to break even. It’s also, by a long shot, the worst-performing Star Wars film since Disney took over LucasFilm.

For now, the only Star Wars film officially in the diary is Episode 9, the conclusion of the Skywalker saga - due in cinemas in late 2019.

Rian Johnson is also working on a trilogy, as are the Game of Thrones showrunners.

Get Up Off Your Butts And Go See "Solo: A Star Wars Story"!!!

As I am preparing to see "Solo" a second time, it has come to my attention that almost all of you haven't seen it for the first time yet, which is a damn shame. Look I understand your desire to punish Disney for that whole "Last Jedi" fiasco, but trust me here "Solo" is a great movie and you will love it.

From We Got This Covered

As you surely know, Solo: A Star Wars Story‘s Alden Ehrenreich has made a deal with Lucasfilm to portray everyone’s favorite scruffy-looking nerf herder in at least two more movies. Whether he gets the chance to do so or not though depends mostly on how the film performs at the box office, and in that regard, things aren’t going very well right now.

We heard earlier today that the Anthology pic only managed to pull in $83.3 million on this side of the pond – not to mention it bombed in China, too – which is tremendously disappointing and way under expectations. It’s the first true flop for Lucasfilm and has no doubt thrown those sequel plans into question.

But if there’s one person who’s not letting the numbers get him down, it’s Ron Howard. Taking to Twitter earlier today, the director found a silver lining in the situation, saying that though it didn’t quite soar as high as the studio hoped, Solo was still a personal best for him in terms of openings.

As for why exactly the pic did so poorly, well, when you combine the divisive reviews and production troubles, plus the fact that many people weren’t interested in seeing anyone else other than Harrison Ford portray the titular character in the first place, it isn’t exactly surprising that Solo: A Star Wars Story bombed at the box office.

Personally, I’m of the opinion that Disney is perilously close to devaluing the idea of a Star Wars event movie if they’re going to keep up their annual release schedule. Sure, the last couple have been great, but there’s a serious chance of audience fatigue if we hit the mid 2020s and we’ve had 7 or 8 movies in as many years. Even releasing Solo so hot on the heels of The Last Jedi feels a bit cheap. And judging by the box office numbers, that’s a sentiment that many share.

Here is my take on Solo (Again):

By Ken Hulsey

Disney is way better at making Star Wars prequels than sequels.

Let's just cut to the chase, Solo is a really, really, really good movie. I absolutely loved it. It was just the thing I personally needed to wipe the awful memories of "The Last Jedi" from my dorky brain. It is an all-around solid movie with a great story, acting and effects. It also contains enough plot twists and a special cameo that I really want to talk at length about, but can't in fear of ruining the movie for you, to make the movie highly entertaining.

Here is the bottom line, Alden Ehrenreich was really believable as Han Solo. This is of course the most important aspect that makes "Solo" as good a movie as it is. Ehrenreich owned the role and put his own unique take on it. He captured enough of Harrison Ford's mannerisms to effectively portray the character without making his performance an over exaggerated impression. It was very easy for me to accept Ehrenreich as Han Solo and by the end of the film I was completely sold and am now quite looking forward to the future installments with him portraying one of my favorite movie characters.

The rest of the cast was excellent from Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke (Just try to keep your eyes off her ... holy smokes) to much talked about Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian. Glover doesn't steal the show, which is actually a good thing, but ads a whole new level of charm and wit to the suave Calrissian.

Visually "Solo" is an amazing feast for the eyes. I marveled at just how good the special effects were. Star Wars films have always been a showcase for effects and I have to say that this movie looked as real as real could be. This movie will be able to stand the test of time much better than the prequel films, which in my opinion, are starting to look very cartoonish as time passes.

Here's where I rank Solo in the pecking order of Star Wars films. I would honestly put it behind "Return of the Jedi" and in front of "The Force Awakens". Okay so here we go:

1. Empire Strikes Back
2. A New Hope
3. Rogue One
4. Return of the Jedi
5. Solo
6. The Force Awakens
7. Revenge of the Sith
8. Attack of the Clones
9. The Phantom Menace
10 ... Those Ewok movies
11. The Holiday Special
12. ... Star Wars toy commercials
13. The Last Jedi

Actually you could insert anything Star Wars related between twelve and thirteen, which shows just how much I loath "The Last Jedi."

Harrison Ford Raves Solo: A Star Wars Story

Harrison Ford Called Ron Howard After Watching ‘Solo’ to Rave About Alden Ehrenreich: ‘He Nailed It’

From Indie Wire

Film critics have weighed in favorably on “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” but really the only opinion that matters is from Han Solo himself, Harrison Ford. Fortunately, the original Han Solo has nothing but raves to share about the new Han Solo. In Variety’s new “Solo” cover story, director Ron Howard reveals that Ford has seen the movie twice already and personally called him after a screening to share his love for the film.

“I had never heard Harrison effusive about anything, and he was raving about it,” Howard says of Ford’s “Solo” reaction. “He said, ‘Alden nailed it. He made it his own.’”

Howard famously stepped in to replace original “Solo” directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller four months into production. The “Beautiful Mind” director ended up shooting 70% of the finished film, enough to give him sole director credit. Ford wasn’t involved in the creative development or the production of “Solo,” although he did meet with Ehrenreich over lunch prior to production starting at the beginning of 2017.

“What [Ford] did so beautifully for Alden was he talked a lot about what he remembered when he first read ‘Star Wars,’ and what George had done with Han,” Kathleen Kennedy said earlier this year. “Who the character was and the conversations he had for so many years with George about how that character developed. He gave Alden that kind of insight which was invaluable. There were several times in the course of making the movie where Alden would actually recount some of the things that Harrison had pointed out. I think that was really, really helpful to him.”

Solo Part Of A Trilogy? Is Lando Next?

From The Playlist

Kathleen Kennedy Says A Lando Calrissian ‘Star Wars’ Spinoff Is “Next”

Ron Howard has talked about sequels (it depends on how the audience reacts to ‘Solo’ and how much money it makes) and the entire cast is signed on for at least three movies). So what’s next for Lucasfilm? Well, there are rumors, unsubstantiated as of right now it should be said, that an ‘Obi-Wan‘ film shoots in the spring of 2019 (still unclear whether Ewan McGregor will star). And there’s been talk of the Simon Kinberg-penned and dormant ‘Boba Fett‘ movie coming back too.

But Kathleen Kennedy herself has revealed what’s apparently “next,” and it’s a Lando Calrissian solo film that would star Donald Glover. “We think that the next spin-off will be dedicated to Lando Calrissian, ” Kennedy told Premiere France. ” Of course, there are still many stories to tell about Han and Chewbacca, but Lando will be next.”

This would be pretty big news considering that (not a spoiler because we know they’re signed on for multiple films) that ‘Solo’ sets up potential sequels and many expect the Obi-Wan Kenobi movie to shoot next. But Donald Glover is signed up for more films, and perhaps Lucasfilm wants their own “Black Panther” and a film that serves the African American audience that will clearly come out in droves if they’re given a good movie.

Solo: Where the hell do you suppose? To rob a train!

As most of you know the latest trailer for "Solo: A Star Wars Story" dropped on Sunday. Upon watching it I was immediately struck by an impression that seems to have escaped both fans and critics alike. Solo is a western, or more over heavily inspired by westerns.

To me this was blatantly obvious from the first sound that we hear, a guitar twang that sets a tone that what is about to follow is story about a gunslinger plain and simple. The imagery was unmistakable to guy like me who grew up in household where my father watched every John Wayne movie that came on TV with as much glee as I watch science fiction classics like "The Day The Earth Stood Still." Oh yes, I've seen them all a hundred times and I can tell you that "Solo" is as much a western as it is a space opera. The scene on the beach where Han reaches down to unstrap his gun with a band of outlaws fanned out in front of him is an homage to a scene that I've seen in at least a dozen westerns before. The poker game with Lando, that's a western staple as well. Then we see Han, Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson) and the rest of the "outlaws" in a scene gathered around a campfire, again a scene from countless westerns. Let us not forget that the whole thing is leading up to a train robbery and nothing says cowboy flick more than that.

This is actually a brilliant play on the part of the filmmakers when you take into account that when George Lucas originally conceived the Han Solo character way back in the seventies John Wayne's character Rooster Cogburn from "True Grit" (1969) was mentioned as one of his inspirations along with Gary Cooper in "High Noon" (1952). Ron Howard knew this and wisely crafted "Solo" to be an equal part cowboy flick as it is sci-fi epic.

Han Solo has been a cowboy from the beginning.

Watch the trailer with this in mind and tell me what you think:

Solo: A Star Wars Story - Ron Howard Pleased With Film's Final Touches

Hey it's has to be better than "Last Jedi" right?

From First Post

Director Ron Howard has confirmed that final touches are being added to Solo: A Star Wars Story.

The film, which explores the story of Han Solo, a role immortalised by veteran actor Harrison Ford on screen, is slated to release in summer. Alden Ehrenreich will play the title role.

Howard took to Instagram where he posted a picture of himself and the editing team as they worked on the opening graphics of the movie.

"Working on opening graphics up at #skywalkerranch. Gotta admit, pinching myself a few times a day as we put on the finishing touches up here," he said.

In another post, Howard said, "Mixing at legendary #SkywalkerRanch Exciting to see and hear #Solo really coming together. We are becoming so eager to share the fun."

Han, I can’t make exceptions. What if everyone who smuggled for me dropped their cargo at the first sign of an Imperial starship?

Is THIS iconic Star Wars character making a shock RETURN? ‘It’s a huge secret’

Possible Spoiler Alert!

STAR WARS’ iconic villain Jabba The Hutt is allegedly making a return in the upcoming Solo movie.

From The Sunday Express

The Han Solo prequel will reportedly introduce fans to Jabba and reveal why the beast has such a problem with Han in the original trilogy.

According to a new report, the appearance was being kept a closely guarded secret by bosses.

“It’s a huge secret but Jabba is returning to the Star Wars universe,” a source told The Sun.

"Fans will learn why Han ended up owing him so much money.”

They added: "Yoda was brought back for The Last Jedi and now Disney wants to bring back another legacy character.

“Jabba is so synonymous with the franchise.”

Jabba was famously strangled to death by Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi, one of the most iconic movie moments of all time.

Solo is due out in May and stars Alden Ehrenreich as the character made famous by Harrison Ford.

He is joined by Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Thandie Newton and Woody Harrelson among others.

Ron Howard took the reigns as director following the controversial dismissals of Phil Lord and Chris Miller mid-way through production.

‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ Takes Place Before ‘Star Wars Rebels’ & ‘Rogue One’

From The Playlist

As the “Star Wars” galaxy continues to expand with new trilogies and film series outside the main saga, you’re going to need a flowchart to keep track of where the (new) canon stands. As you might recall, when Disney purchased Lucasfilm, any developments in the expanded universe were scrapped, and a new canon was created going forward from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” Disney didn’t waste much time turning on the licensing machine, and there has already been a plethora of books and more that fill in the gaps between movies. This all brings us to this spring’s “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” and you might be wondering where it lands in the chronology.

Well, DelRey books has created a handy timeline that clears things up, revealing that ‘Solo’ is set in the three year gap between the books “Star Wars: Tarkin” (which is set 14 years before “Star Wars: A New Hope“) and “Star Wars: A New Dawn” (which is set 11 years before ‘A New Hope’). Luke Skywalker is about eight years old at this time, in case you’re wondering. Another way to look it: ‘Solo’ takes place before the events in “Star Wars Rebels” and “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” and is currently closest of the new films to the events of “Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith” and the Empire’s rise.

Thankfully, you don’t actually need to know this knowledge before going to see the film, but if you’re a “Star Wars” dork (as many of us around The Playlist are), it’s the kind of deep intel that we dig.

“Solo: A Star Wars Story” opens on May 25th.

Solo: It's the nature of the business It's the smuggler's blues

From Indie Wire

This summer’s blockbuster movie-going season will get a galaxy-sized injection of origin story when Ron Howard’s “Solo: A Star Wars Story” arrives in May, promising to fill in all sorts of backstory-centric questions regarding lovable rogue Han Solo (played here by Alden Ehrenreich). The film has notably taken its time rolling out marketing — last night’s Super Bowl spot was the first official footage to be released, followed quickly by a much longer teaser that expanded upon some of the more intriguing elements of the film.

So what was a young Han Solo like? And how did he become the beloved scoundrel who has for so long been one of the best parts of the “Star Wars” mythos? “Solo” has some ideas, and not all of them appear to hinge on the introduction of other classic characters (though Chewie and Lando are both very much here) and locales (can you count the Millennium Falcon as a single locale?).



The feature has, of course, not been without its controversy. When original directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord were hired to helm the film, it was expected that they’d bring their signature humor and free-wheeling style to “Solo,” an idea that proved out in the worst possible way: they unexpectedly left the project in June, with weeks of production still left.

Howard was announced as the new director of the Han Solo film in late July. “I’m beyond grateful to add my voice to the Star Wars Universe after being a fan since 5/25/77,” he wrote at the time. “I hope to honor the great work already done & help deliver on the promise of a Han Solo film.” In October, he shared on Twitter that the production had finally wrapped.

A Super Sunday For Solo: A Star Wars Story?

From The Playlist

We’re now less than four months away from the still penciled in release date for “Solo: A Star Wars Story.” The questions about the film’s release have reached a deafening pitch: will it be pushed back? Will Disney blitz their blockbuster into cinemas anyway, even with such a short timeline? Well, the answers are coming very, very soon.

THR reports that the marketing campaign for ‘Solo’ is expected to kick off during this weekend’s Super Bowl. So for nerds like me who couldn’t care less about game day, I now have a reason to track down a Super Bowl party (I’ll bring the dip!). Given that the going rate for prime time space during the Super Bowl runs for approximately $5 million for thirty seconds, don’t expect a full trailer. Could Disney easily shell out for a one-minute spot? I wouldn’t be surprised. There are all kinds of expectations riding on this — particularly given the extensive reshoots, and the surprise exit of original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller — so Disney and Lucasfilm need to show everybody they made the right decisions here.

In case you’re wondering why there hasn’t been kind of teaser until now, it’s believed that Disney and Lucasfilm didn’t want to override the release of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” with marketing for ‘Solo,’ which makes sense.

Until we know otherwise, “Solo: A Star Wars Story” is still opening on May 25th.

Solo: A Star Wars Story - Look Who's Coming To Dinner ... Maybe

From Movies.com

Something that could become a big rumor following the logically minded speculation of Nerdist News that Ewan McGregor could appear in Solo: A Star Wars Story. The actor is possibly reprising his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi for that character's own future standalone spin-off, but perhaps we'll first get a tease of that with a cameo appearance this summer.

The theory stems partly from McGregor sporting an Obi-Wan-like beard at awards shows last week and partly from the idea that such an appearance could help lure audiences into what's been publicly seen as a problem-ridden production. Yes, Nerdist News host Jessica Chobot acknowledges this is still razor-thin guesswork. But she says:

"Either Ewan is performing the most 'notice me Senpai' move in the history of films, or something's up. Solo is having another round of reshoots later this month. The timing of a recent very-Obi-Wan-looking McGregor attempting to get into shape while simultaneously trying to reinsert himself in the Star Wars news cycle could be a sign that we'll be seeing him make a surprise cameo in the film."

They offer a suggestion for how Obi-Wan could fit into the story considering he clearly had never met Han Solo before the Mos Eisley scene in the original Star Wars. There's no indication that Chewbacca hadn't previously meet the Jedi master -- the Wookie even fought alongside Yoda years prior as seen in Revenge of the Sith -- and was actually introducing Han to Obi-Wan.

Will Han Solo Take Us "Back to the Future"?

From Hello Giggles

While we might have just gotten a brand new Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi, another one is already on the horizon: The Young Han Solo movie. The movie, which is really just called “Solo,” opens in a mere 144 days. Amazing, right? The more Star Wars movies the better, and this one is another stand-alone film, just like Rogue One. And though we don’t have a single poster for the movie, or let alone a trailer, we do have a few pictures. Ron Howard just shared another one to Twitter, and it’s a great way to start off the new year.

And wherever Han Solo and Chewbacca are going they might not need roads — because they’ll be flying around in the Millennium Falcon, obviously. Or maybe…not quite yet. This latest picture doesn’t show the Falcon, but rather some other speeder and it doesn’t look like any sort of cockpit we’ve seen before. It actually looks more like Back to the Future’s DeLorean, with all sorts of gadgets and gizmos and trackers in the front seat.

'Star Wars’ Spinoff To Have Both Boba Fett And Han Solo?

From The Inquisitr

As of this writing, most fans aren’t even thinking about the Star Wars spinoff films we’ll be getting in the coming years. The film that’s likely on everyone’s minds is J.J. Abrams’ upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But if Disney plans to release the films yearly as originally scheduled, then there’s bound to be significant overlap in production schedules.

As such, we’ve been getting a lot of news regarding the upcoming spinoffs — one rumored as a Boba Fett movie and the other as a Han Solo movie. The latest rumor comes from Latino Review, and states that Han Solo and Boba Fett may both be in the first spinoff from Godzilla director Gareth Edwards.

“I want to reiterate for you literal minded readers out there that the only new thing I’ve contributed to this conversation is that I heard a rumor that the Han Solo and Boba Fett movie that we assumed was two movies has become one movie.”

The potential existence of Boba Fett in the movie does lend some credence to the recent info Making Star Wars got on the project that “bounty hunters are important to the film,” though bounty hunters would probably be important regardless of whether or not it was Han or Boba leading the flick. One last bit of information we have is that the movie will be filmed, at least partially, in Mexico.
