Han Solo Film: New Photos Indicate Han Has Been Outrunning Imperials for a Long Time!

Fawley Power Station

 

More stunt-scene photos have been released from the filming of the Han Solo film which show Alden Ehrenreich’s stunt-double trying to avoid some “Imperial entanglements”. Proceed past the jump (to lightspeed) to check them out and read our speculation about this particular scene!

 

 

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

 

 

When we first met Han in A New Hope, he arrogantly boasted about his ability to outrun Imperial forces.

 

“I’ve outrun imperial starships. Not the local bulk cruisers, mind you. I’m talking about the big Corellian ships now.”

– Han Solo in A New Hope

 

Well it appears that Han has been used to being chased by Imperials even before his days as Captain of the Millennium Falcon. These new photos suggest he is running from them in a landspeeder!

 

The photos come to us courtesy of DailyMail.

 

 

 

As you can see in the three photos above, all of which have a stuntman Han Solo in place of Ehrenreich, Han appears to have a white vest over a black shirt, contrasting his look from A New Hope.

 

 

 

Imperial speeders (marked with a white Imperial Crest of the Empire) lead us to believe that Han isn’t joy riding or racing, but being chased down by Imperial Forces. The extras with the white suits covered with robes are definitely stormtroopers as our source also told us yesterday. As we previously reported, recent photos provided to us from the set showed what appear to be Imperial structures, almost like bunkers. It’s looking more and more like Han has found himself in Empire territory and something has transpired which leads him to being chased by stormtroopers on landspeeders.

 

 

The complete photo set is courtesy of DailyMail.com UK and can be seen here.

 

What do you think of these photos? Do you think Han has once again found himself outrunning imperials, but on a smaller scale? It will be interesting to see if he can outrun them without the Falcon! Leave your comments below!

 

 

Special thanks to @yeahclarke for the heads up.

    speeders… they have wheels and the driver is behind a steering wheel. that looks so weird in a starwars movie.

        Luke’s landspeeder and others over the years had wheels too, they edit them out in post-production (at one time they used vaseline over the lense to blur it out!). This will end up being a hovering speeder for sure.

        It appears to be only a small section of the steering wheel is painted green. With that digitally removed the remaining will look more like flight grips. I’m assuming that the full wheel was required for safely.

    Even though we haven’t seen the planet in canon yet, to me all of these vehicles evoke a strong Correllian aesthetic based on the Falcon: big blocky, beefy and industrial.

    Not that impressive to outrun a guy in a Zamboni.

    I’m sure I’ll like this movie. My kids are going to love it! I’m not picky.

    Must be where he learns the steal the trooper armor trick that is so cliché in the films now. No idea if this film will be better than R1 but long as it’s better than TLJ then I’m happy and they’d have to have Rhianna sing the theme song (Hi, JJ!) or something to have it suck more than the ST.

      LOL. Wow. You are sad. You are just rooting for one film to be better than another? Must really suck to be you.

      Why does Han Solo need to be better than another film that isn’t out yet and you haven’t seen, regardless? Wouldn’t it be better if Han Solo was good and TLJ was also good?

      That said, anyone with rose-colored glasses thick enough to look at the prequel trilogy and say that the ST would be in objectively better hands under Lucas’s direction is deluded, so whatever floats your boat.

        The ST would’ve been objectively better if they had used Lucas treatments for them regardless of who ended up directing them. The problem isn’t the direction. The Prequels are more in the spirit of Star Wars than TFA will ever be.

    The bit that interests me the most is that the Daily Mail article reports that Diego Luna was on set. It would be awesome if he had some small part in this movie.

    Who would win in a race between a giant remote control, stapler and flash drive? The Han Solo movie will answer that age-old question.

      Don’t know but I’d be rooting for the stapler because they are retro. Flash drives are for PT fans.

    Is that Simon Pegg in the tank?

    Since Han Solo doesn’t believe in the force, they can’t really include any force related stuff.
