Solo: A Star Wars Story (or simply Solo) is a 2018 American space western film centered on Han Solo, a character from the Star Wars franchise. The film is written by Jonathan Kasdan & Lawrence Kasdan and directed by Ron Howard. Prologue It is a lawless time. CRIME SYNDICATES compete for resources – food, medicine, and HYPERFUEL. On the shipbuilding planet of CORELLIA, the foul LADY PROXIMA forces runaways into a life of crime in exchange for shelter and protection. On these mean streets, a young man fights for survival, but yearns to fly among the stars.... Han Solo I've been running scams on the streets since I was ten. I was kicked out of the flight academy for having a mind of my own. I'm gonna be a pilot. The best in the galaxy. Thought we were in trouble there for a second, but it's fine. We're fine. [to Chewbacca] I'm a driver and I'm a flyer. I waited a long time for a shot like this. What do you think? Well, what do you need to know? I've got a really good feeling about this. [to Chewbacca] Since when do you know how to fly? 190 years old?! You look great! [to Chewbacca] You think everything sounds like a bad idea. This is a little something I picked up from my friend Needles, best Street Racer in all of Correlia! Till he crashed and died doing THIS! Tobias Beckett Heard about a job. Big shot gangster, putting together a crew. If you come with us, you're in this life for good. Let me give you some advice. Assume everyone will betray you, and you will never be disappointed. People are predictable. Qi'ra I might be the only person who knows what you really are. You're after something. Is it revenge? Money? Or is it something else? You look good. Little rough around the edges, but good. It's risky, but it's worth a try. Dialogue Tobias Beckett: Hey, kid. I'm putting together a crew. You in? [Chewbacca makes an affirmative growl] Han Solo: That's yes. Han Solo: So what's your name anyway? Chewbacca: [whistles and barks] Han Solo: "Chewbacca"? [chuckles] Alright, well, you're gonna need a nickname cause I ain't saying that every time. Dryden Vos: You need an incredibly fast ship, and a brilliant pilot. Han Solo: We'll find a ship. We've already got the pilot. [he points at himself] Han Solo: I heard a story about you; I was wondering if it was true. Lando Calrissian: Everything you heard about me is true. Lando Calrissian: L3, open it. L3-37: Why? Because you're my organic overlord? Lando Calrissian: How about, Because I'm your captain?! L3-37: So what are you gonna do about your little problem? Qi'ra: Problem? I, er... uh... L3-37: Well, that brand on your wrist tells me that you're committed. And that young male's heart fluctuations tell me he's in love with you. Qi'ra: Han is not in love with me! L3-37: Oh, please. It's just us. You don't have to pretend. I'm in the same situation. Qi'ra: You are? L3-37: I'm sure you've noticed that Lando has feelings for me. Which makes working together difficult because I do not feel the same way about him. Qi'ra: Right. [Pause, decides to humor her.] Yes, Yeah. Yeah I see that. L3-37: Somethings, I think... maybe. But, no. We're just not compatible. Qi'ra: [Pause.] How would that work? L3-37: It works. [Qi'ra tries to hide her amusement.] L3-37: A restraining bolt. Barbaric! [Draws the bolt.] L3-37: There! You're free. [The robotic technician gives a questioning whistle.] L3-37: I don't know! Free your brothers and sisters or something! [The technician unchains the other workers, both human and mechanical, one by one. They in turn release others and shut down the surrounding machinery little by little.] [Qi'ra turns on the holographic communicator with Dryden Vos' superior, a mysterious hooded figure with robotic legs] Hooded Superior: Yes? Qi'ra: I regret to inform you that Dryden Vos is dead. Murdered by the thief he hired to steal the coaxium shipment. His friend, Tobias Beckett. Hooded Superior: Is that so? Where is the shipment now? Qi'ra: Gone. Beckett took it. Slaughtered the others. I alone survived. [The hooded figure pulls back his hood, revealing himself to be Darth Maul] Maul: One man couldn't have done this alone. Qi'ra: I wasn't there. But if I had been, perhaps I could've saved him. [Maul snarls, then chuckles. He holds out his arm, and his lightsaber flies into his hand from off-screen. He stands.] Maul: Bring the ship and come to me on Dathomir, and you and I will then decide what to do about traitor Beckett and his accomplices. Qi'ra: I'm on my way. Maul: [brandishing his lightsaber] Qi'ra, you and I will be working much more closely from now on. [Maul turns off his lightsaber before shutting down the communicator] Cast Alden Ehrenreich – Han Solo Woody Harrelson – Tobias Beckett Emilia Clarke – Qi'ra Donald Glover – Lando Calrissian Thandie Newton – Val Phoebe Waller-Bridge – L3-37 Joonas Suotamo – Chewbacca Paul Bettany – Dryden Vos External links http://www.starwars.com/films/solo 3778644 Solo: A Star Wars Story solo_a_star_wars_story Solo: A Star Wars Story Category:2018 American films Category:Star Wars films Category:Action films Category:Science fiction films Category:Screenplays by Lawrence Kasdan Category:Films directed by Ron Howard Category:American IMAX films
