      I hope this doesn’t mean that AT-AT’s are in this movie. I mean, really? We had (pretty good) walkers in Rogue One and now we know that “gorilla walkers” will be in TLJ. We don’t need any more walkers in these movies!

    Might be too “inside baseball” but it would be interesting/nice that if Han Solo does have an ESB style jacket in this film that it’s brown instead of blue to tie in with the comics. Then again if it’s blue it gets us that much closer to an ESB/Bespin Han.

    I hope this movie explores a lot of the time before Han had the Falcon, but I also hope that the Falcon has a good part in the movie. I would hate to see it end with the first shot of the ship like TFA did with Luke.. Just my two cents…

    Here are my initial thoughts/theories:

    The first ship looks inspired by the X-Wing. It could be a small, single-seater craft. There’s a call-out box that apparently says “[WORDS] OF SPEEDER”. (“FRONT” or “BACK”?) Wish we had a side view of it. If we did, fans could already make a model of it!

    The next illustrations (up to the upside-down AT-AT) look to be three variants of what is supposed to be the same ship. Looks to be a small Stormtrooper transport.

    So this confirms that OT era Stormtrooper uniforms will be in this? (Specifically, the refined designs from Rogue One.)

      No one is going to jail or getting fired or whathaveyou. SWNN was the
      first to post Luke and Acbar from E7 and they’re still here. As is MSW
      which posted the entire plot and SWU which first revealed Kylo Ren and
      all the E7 trailers. Last and not least it was MF.com who dumped the 3
      dozen E7 concept arts then posted the entire shooting schedule revealing
      for the first time that Kylo Ren is the son of Han and Leia!

      This is a massive leak and has me very optimistic about Han Solo 2018. Kudos to SWNN once again!

    I believe this will have something to do with Han Solo freeing Chewbacca from imperial custody per “legends”. Solo was an imperial cadet until killing an imperial officer who was beating Chewbacca, saving Chewbacca’s life. Chewbacca then devoted a “life debt” to Solo as is Wookie custom.

    Also in “legends” young Han Solo raced Swoop Bikes on his home planet of Corellia even causing fellow Corellian, Dengar, to crash (reason for his bandages).

        There is a way to figure that out, as his ages were published when Kennedy mentioned it, & I think we know how old he was in ANH, But I know it takes place over a period of years & starts when he’s like 19 or something like that?

      I don’t think it’s been stated yet. Alden Ehrenreich is 28, and Ford was 30 when he was in ANH.

      Ehrenreich could be playing Han as much younger, though. Jyn was supposed to be just 21, but Felicity Jones was 35 at the time.

        Ford was 34 when he filmed ANH, but he was playing a 29ish Han Solo.

      A decade before or so before ANH, Not long after III. Anything more or less would not be believable.

      The movie is meant to go for a few years it’s his life from 18 years old to 24 years old. In episode IV Han is about 29 so this prequel is quite a bit before then.

      They already said it takes place about 10 years before ANH. Han was supposed to be 30 in ANH, and this movie will be him at 20.

    If I remember correctly, in legends Han was a part of the correlia military force, which is why his pants always had those stripes. The jacket is more empire, but maybe if they kept that idea, we’ll get to see a little bit of a military Han solo.

    Also, all those ships are rad, nuff’ said.

      Yeah, Han was from Corellia, but he was in the imperial military. That’s when he saved Chewbacca and went AWOL. At least that used to be the story, they might change it now.

    I don’t like them very much. They seem a pretty generic sci-fi stuff, and not very Star Wars to me. But they could be early concepts as well. I liked what they did with Rogue One, hope they will repeat the magic with Han Solo.

      The speeder bike is nothing special. We’ve seen enough of them in the Prequels, Clone Wars and Rebels.

      The Imperial ship looks potentially interesting. “Flying catwalk with AT-AT head” is how I describe it. I’d be curious to see a fan modeler make this so we can have an early idea as to how this may look in physical form.

  • May 12, 2017 at 1:39 am
    Permalink

    Some more thoughts/theories about the “Imperial transport”:

    Its two arms could extend in length, like a telescope. This could explain why the drawings depict the arms at obviously different lengths. Either this, or the longer length version of this ship is an earlier concept, because I think the shorter length one looks more like a final depiction.

    The armor plating design looks to be inspired by the head and body of the AT-AT. So this may explain why two of the images are of the underside of the AT-AT — it could be used as reference for the artists and set builders. So it may not mean that AT-ATs will appear in this movie.

        You’re an idiot. The characters in Star Wars almost never wear the same thing movie to movie and everyone handled it just fine. And she wore the same toga in Rogue One just like politicians all wear suits to work. I know these are tough things for a tiny mind like your to process, but give it a shot, champ.

          I love it when people can’t express an differing opinion without resorting to cheap personal attacks, and then present themselves as being intellectually superior. It really demonstrates that they have no clue what they’re talking about when all they have is insults.

          There’s nothing that prevents Mon Mothma from wearing a different color or style of dress or necklace. It’s really nothing like wearing a suit. Politicians in the SW galaxy wear a variety of different clothes. Look at Padme, who changes clothes every 5 minutes.

          Of course most of the characters wear the same/similar thing movie to movie. Are you kidding me?

          Darth Vader: same costume from Episode 3-6
          Boba Fett: same costume from Episode 4-6
          Palpatine: same costume from Episode 3-6
          Obi Wan: Jedi Robes – prequel era – Episode 6
          Yoda: Brown tunic with tan robe – prequel era – Episode 6
          Han Solo – same basic look from Episode 4-7, alternating vest with jacket
          Mon Mothma – white toga with necklace – R1-Episode 6

          The only prominent post-prequel characters who change their clothes from one movie to the next are Luke and Leia. The uniforms of the Empire and Rebels, of course, stay the same.

          The point of the podracing (apart from creating computer game friendly action scenes) is to showcase Anakin’s force powers. Anakin is the only human who can control a pod – he uses the force were other species have extra sensory organs and limbs.

          Well being that Anakin is the only known human to survive multiple pod races, and that Qui Gon said Jedi reflexes could be a reason for it, I would say you need to need to be pretty force sensitive.

      I am pretty sure they are genuine. A single artist would not draw concept arts in different styles, model and render them and maybe even build (?) fake concept art just as a hoax. We might not get to see these concepts in the final movie but they are way too elaborate and numerous to be made by a single person so either a whole group of designers wasted their time on creating a hoax or someone leaked the images.

    Love the ship design. Relatively simple geometrical shapes put into an interesting silhouette and then covered with visible machinery, metal plating and wires. Feels really Star Warsy and suprisingly retro to me. I also like this speeder bike. As some people have already pointed out it is nothing special, but visually in seems like a hybrid between Episode I podracers and the OT and I am happy about that. I have always had an issue with the visual language difference between the PT and the OT which unfortunately Episode III didn’t fix as well as I had hoped for. However, it seems like the Anthology movies are doing a great job in terms of connecting the PT visual language and the OT visual language. Vaders castle and this concept speederbike are great examples for that which is why I am really excited about these designs.

        I hope so too and by the looks of it we are going to see a hybrid between PT and OT. The sixeyed creature for example reminded me of a Terryl Whitlatch design but it was more believably executed than the PT CGI aliens. I also think that while Gareth Edwards chose more realistic designs for his standalone movie Phil Lord and Chris Miller will have a more colourful approach given wwhat we have seen in “The Lego movie”. So yeah, a hybrid seems quite likely imo.
