UPDATE! Ron Howard Teases New Costumes from the Star Wars Han Solo Set.
The Han Solo stand alone movie is proceeding with the filming in full throttle under the new director Ron Howard. Howard has just posted another image on Twitter from the set, teasing some costumes from the movie. Can you guess to which character they belong to? Check them out.

As you can see this is a rather colorful set. The first major character that comes to mind is of course Lando Calrissian mainly because of his blue and gold costume from the Original Trilogy:
EntertainmentWeekly made a good point reminding us of Lando’s outfit from Star Wars: Rebels, that seems rather colorful as well:
It’s a very good guess. One thing is certain – from the leaked Han Solo photos from a few days ago we surely can dismiss Han himself, together with Beckett and Emilia Clarke’s character from the possibilities. Could these be for a new character? If this was the case then the tease would seem rather pointless. What do you think?
UPDATE!
And it seems that Ron Howard posted a different image with costumes on his Instagram (thanks to @yeahclarke for the heads up):
Very colorful and extravagant indeed.

Don’t know if I like that front one. Red, Yellow, Orange, Black and Grey.
Maybe they meet at a Space Mardi-Gras ??
It is definitely from the 70’s or 80’s!
It’s very late 70’s Soul Train
Space pimp cape,best thing I’ve seen about this production so far.
CAPE!!! RIGHT THERE!!!!! Yeah, I’m not even a huge Lando fan, and I’M looking forward to seeing him rock the cape in this movie.
If this were a film that most fans were eagerly anticipating then I don’t think delaying the film would be a big deal but if it got quietly cancelled then I don’t think most on here or elsewhere would give any fucks about it. Especially if Obi-Wan replaced it.
BRAVO! 🙂 My god that would make me happy!!!!
I couldn’t agree more this movie just doesn’t seem like it will be very good. Why force a bad movie when the money can go to funding other SMARTER choices. Almost no one I have talked to thinks a Han movie with no Harrison is a good idea in the first place, and with changing directors and a weak cast aside from Woody Harrelson this movie could be doomed. I will still watch it opening night but I just hope I’m not cringing every 5 minutes.
Every second that i realize that this movie is actually going to be released a piece of me dies…this is going to be a Guardians of the Galaxy rip off
You do realize that Lando has always had a colorful wardrobe, right?
You say that based on literally nothing concrete.
concrete us too deep…
bad choice for actor, whom needs lifts in his boots, an acting coach and had 3/4 of the movie directed by the guys that made 21 jump street.
is that a good start? lol
No, bc the first is an opinion, even Tom Cruise uses lifts so that’s a non-factor and 21 Jump Street was a huge success.
Try again.
c’mon…21, a good movie? maybe if your a 6th grade boy. this guy isn’t Tom Cruise by no stretch.
Critically and commercially successful and funny as hell? Yeah, a good comedy.
Well, I guess you are too mature for us all then. Since Star Wars skews younger, you might have outgrown it. Move along.
Tom Cruise was merely an example. Many actors wear lifts. Robert Downey Jr does as well, as do others.
Him wearing lifts is a non-factor. You are probably just sad that Ingruber didn’t get the part.
SW…is much different than 21 Jump. SW isn’t or hasn’t had crude humor. If you like 21, fine…not my cup with constant crude humor. I’m just stating that guys that bring that type of humor shouldn’t be involved with SW movies…imo.
I didn’t want anyone to get it because it’s a story not needed for the character. And all of your reference actors did not have a actor before them play the same character. Especially not one over 4 inches taller with a huge career. whomever was cast is doomed because they will have to live up to Harrison’s version of Solo.
I’m glad you look forward to this movie, and maybe…just maybe since my expectations are sooo low. it could surprise me. But all the early problems are not a good sign.

Yes and THX-1138 was much different from Star Wars. Looper is much different than Star Wars. Just because someone made one style of movie doesn’t eliminate them from making a different style.
The prequel’s weren’t NEEDED either, but we still got them. Rogue One wasn’t NEEDED, but it was great.
Alden’s version will be his own because he is playing Han at a different time of his life. He might be bad. He might be great. But just wait and see.
we need a beer to discuss all of this! lol
I’d like to remind everyone that such colorful clothes already existed in the star wars universe.
Yeah, in the prequels. The stuff in the new trilogy is all drab greys, browns, blacks, and the shades in between. Oh- and the orange X-wing jumpsuit.
prequels are star wars. By new trilogy you mean the sequel trilogy?
wonder if they can do anything to get people more excited about this movie??? Still think they should walk away from it!
Why?
just voicing my opinion that it wasn’t a great idea to begin with and as of yet, I’ve not read a single item that makes me think it could be a great sw movie.
it’s probably a split in fandom about this particular movie to begin with, as to I’d we really wanted a Solo origin film.
I didn’t want Rogue one and I loved it. Maybe you don’t think you want it until you have it. Give it a chance.
I second guess myself all the time so me guessing the first time is no good.
Highly, HIGHLY unlikely these TWENTY or so outfits are all costumes for one character ( i.e. a Lando )
Most probably for background extras. We’ll unlikely see the principal actors in more that 2 or 3 outfits – max – during the course of the movie.
I also think Lando’s or any other main character’s outfit would be kept separately from any other costumes, so this is seemingly a big fuss over nothing, as colourful as the costumes may be.
Or that could ACTUALLY be a closet, which will be shown in a scene in the movie. (Lando reaches reaches in and cooooly pulls out a hanger holding a green satin dinner jacket).
Good idea! Would love to see that.

Can we see something not lame like a gun rack for all the different blasters?
Give it time… I have a feeling Ron Howard’s Twitter account is just getting warmed up.
