Update 2! New Concept Art Featuring Ship Designs and a Costume from the Han Solo Movie Have Surfaced on eBay!
Multiple brand new concept art images featuring ship designs and a sketch of Han Solo’s costume from the movie have surfaced on eBay from a person claiming to have been associated with the Star Wars “Red Cup” (Han Solo) project. Hit the jump to see the pieces for sale.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
The listing says that these are genuine pieces of concept art in A3 size from the production. They seem legit at first glance.
Update 1!
First, a closer look at Han Solo himself (click the images for bigger versions):
Cool haircut. Looks exactly like Alden Ehrenreich.
And some ships:

He loves all things Star Wars, but when he's not spending time in the galaxy far far away, he might be found in our own galaxy hanging out in Gotham City or at 1407 Graymalkin Lane, Salem Center, NY.
Are the last two photos upside down AT-AT’s?
Looks to be. The sad thing was I didn’t notice it until you said it. It’s been an off day. Cool artwork, if legit or not.
Even At-Ats like to have their belly scratched!
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…
I kinda hope its not Solo going around killing Stormtroopers.. I want him fighting Bounty Hunters or other pirates
Well…as a smuggler, he’s going to have plenty of run-ins with the law, too.
Yup, “Even I get boarded sometimes.”
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.)
RE UPDATE:
Holy crap!!
And that’s not an enclosed speeder ship — it looks like it’s a speeder bike.
Or a swoop bike. Any takers we see Han cause the scaring on Dengar’s face in this flick?
Someone’s going to jail…
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!
Aha, well, I meant the guy/girl that posted those for sale. Please explain to me how could Lucasfilm would allow anything like that (selling their shit on ebay) unless they are in it too? btw, I like those ships too, very McQuarrie like.
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).
So this could be an Imperial prisoner transport that Han frees Chewie from. Hmmm.
I really hope we see that and not a new version of how their friendship (life debt) started
I am pretty sure, that they won’t just do a legends reshoot.
Just like the new trilogy, they’ll write their own stories.
Well they’ve brought some stuff from legends (Thrawn) maybe this too
Do we know when exactly this movie takes place relative to Episodes 3 and 4? For example, is it 2-3 years after E3?
A long time ago…
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.
Jones is 33 atm, so no, she wasn’t.
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.
Leia should get an anthology too… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/45fd6c8ad27e14c84d8501243295e2379dec9289a29d60b90e6cd6569bd82971.jpg
Okay actress but her 5 head is bigger than Rhianna’s there.
JESUS CHRIST WHAT IS THAT KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!
Looks more like battletech than Star Wars IMO :/
Just glad we aren’t getting more OT ripoffs like in the ST.
About time we had some info about a real SW film on here. The concept designers from TLJ should take notes on this film.
I like that Han is rocking the Bespin look which is the last time he was portrayed with any balls in the saga.
the concept designers for TFA were fine, it was was JJ Abrams fault for making things look unoriginal.
Please…stop talking.
ikr..? This guy….. again…..
If a concerted effort to utterly and completely ignore this guy were made, he’s eventually get bored and disappear. Not that I always follow my own advice in this regard….
Why would you think they have to take notes? From the minute of film you saw in the trailer. WTF are you even talking about?
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.
In legends, Han was part of the imperial military force…
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.
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.
Its good to see some original ship designs. Finally!
I hope they don’t think Han Solo has to wear the same clothing because that’s like his Han Solo uniform or something.
But if he wears anything different, the dumb masses will be confused. Same reason why Mon Mothma wears that same white toga in Rogue One.
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.
“You’re an idiot.” – “…a tiny mind like your”…
You should try and discuss things like an adult.
Unfortunately adults don’t exist anymore, blame media brainwashing.
Sure they do. I’m an adult. Lots of other folks here are adults.
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.
People just feel they can be huge dicks behind computers because of the anonymity. I was sitting here like “whoa this dude just jumped down your throat for the smallest, stupidest reason ever.”
Maybe he’s got some anger issues.
Tell that to end-of-ESB Lando :-)))
Yes! Thank you!
We need a new photo for Han movie stories. That cockpit one is disheartening and I can feel my enthusiasm draining every time I see it
Huh. Bespin outfit. Wouldn’t have expected that. And ‘bumper car #4’ – I’m thinking there’s going to be some kind of pod race analog, just with more deliberate crashes, where we see Han’s piloting skills on display.
If he pod races..then that will for sure add to the “Han is force sensitive and doesn’t even know it” debate.
What has podracing to do with the force?
So Sebulba is force sensitive, too? Or the the “little egg from Alice in Wonderland”
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.
“Or the the ‘little egg from Alice in Wonderland'”
….what?
I think he was talking about that ridiculously cartoonish (even more so than all the others) CG podracer who’s racer wouldn’t start. He banged on his controls and then his engines flew off in all different directions and slammed into stuff.
Oh, Ben Quadinaros? lmao
Anakin: “I’m the only human who can do it.”
Qui-Gon: “You must have Jedi reflexes.”
So…for humans, the Force has a lot to do with it.
If î remember rightly, in the old lore, wasn’t Han supposed to have a swoop race against Dengar which resulted in his bandaged appearance? Would be cool if that found its way into the movie.
Yeah. The Bespin outfit. Which means, in the 10-15years he’s been out there bombin’ around, he never swung by a clothing store and picked up a second outfit. WTF does he wear on laundry day? Chewy? :/
the terrain was hardly suitable for AT AT’s. Besides there were AT AT’s on Endor. One delivered Luke to Darth Vader
“You are so right.” https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/087a13e54630202c79c7c0b6da1a43f6ea8a8b059222c808bac2e2110a05ce00.gif
Perhaps they are not as ‘all terrain’ as advertised!
I was expecting the vest, but I guess this is better than going for his most iconic look because it might have come off as Alden Ehrenreich in Han Solo cosplay. It also keeps with the pattern: Spinoff – Jacket, ANH – Vest, TESB – Jacket, ROTJ – Vest, TFA – Jacket.
they were on Endor.
I was kind of hoping they’d leave out the Empire on this movie and concentrate on the underworld. Of course, there’s no guarantee these pictures are genuine.
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.
I think they look very good. They are definitely Star Wars, but are also just different enough to make them feel fresh.
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’m hoping the Han Solo movie will be like episode 3 meets Raiders Of The Lost Ark.. that’ll tie things together well.
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.
I am so bored of stormtroopers, X-wings, AT-ATs and Tie Fighters.. please just kill them all off and give us a new threat.
yeah, i wonder if disney has really thought this through – star wars as a concept, little grey and white ships shooting at each other against star fields- worked so well when the films were released every three years, with many years between trilogies. now we’re getting a new one every year. it’s a bit monotonous.
THE EMPIRE IS BORING
THE FIRST ORDER IS BORING
Just wipe them out and let some sith lords directly threaten the galaxy with an army.. i’m sick of them being lapdogs.
pic 9-11 look as if they made an actual miniature (!!)
“Ships”? It’s a bike and just one troop carrier.
to me those ships kinda look like some sort of crane ship
He does NOT look like Harrison Ford/Han Solo at ALL!!!
Neither did Tom Hardy when he played Mel Gibson’s role of Mad Max but a couple of minutes into the movie I accepted him as the new face of Max Rockatansky. Just look at James Bond for example. To some Bond is Sean Connery to other’s he is Daniel Craig. Don’t focus on the visual aspects alone. A character is rarely brought to live simply by his/hes appearance.
there is only one ship that matters in a Han Solo movie…
Image number 10 & 11 appear to be full scale set builds !…..clearly in real life scale, you can see that the pic is taken outdoors and you can see part of the outside of the studio in the back ground.
Pics 12 & 13 : AT-AT SPOTTED ! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4dc1bfae775be42c8c192b49381bff16918bc0f0514b705a518ebf75401ccf1e.jpg
Please!!! Not another pod race!!!
The new ship has some resemblance to a Y wing combined with a U wing…
I will call it the W wing XD
