TMZ Reveals Leaked Star Wars: Han Solo Set Footage & Photos.
TMZ has just released some leaked set pictures and visuals of a scene that was filmed when Phil Lord & Christopher Miller were still directing the project. These give us our first good look at what Han, Chewie, Beckett, and possibly Emilia Clarke’s character will all look like.
From the looks of things, this appears to be the estate of some kind of aristocrat – possibly Imperial, but not necessarily (as the set does not have the standard hallmarks of an Imperial office). Judging by the footage glimpsed at below, the people in the first image that are leading Han, Chewie, and Beckett to somebody’s desk. And while we can’t quite tell who the woman in the second image is, it’s not hard to imagine that it might be Emilia Clarke. Judging by the brightness of the images seen above compared to the darkness of the footage seen below, it seems likely that the images were brightened artificially, as this appears to be the same set.
The set video below has trouble embedding here – if it doesn’t load at all, then I would recommend checking out the original article on TMZ:
Visually, this set looks very distinct – although I’m reminded of Thrawn’s office on Rebels, I believe that there’s more to it than that Just looking at it actually got me a little more excited for the movie after the messy firing that happened less than two and a half weeks ago, so hopefully this is a good sign that we’re going to be looking at a Star Wars movie with its own visual style.

Grant has been a fan of Star Wars for as long as he can remember, having seen every movie on the big screen. When he’s not hard at work with his college studies, he keeps himself busy by reporting on all kinds of Star Wars news for SWNN and general movie news on the sister site, Movie News Net. He served as a frequent commentator on SWNN’s The Resistance Broadcast.
Looks cool. But with that cinematographer, we knew it was going to look amazing.
The new Han Solo looks to be dressed as a colonial warrior from Battlestar Galactica circa 1978.
I thought it was Poe Dameron and old man Luke with a nifty moustache at first.
Perhaps a slight homage to that, in fact?
I love the U-Wing design, but when images of it were first released, it kinda reminded me of the Starfighter from the Buck Rogers TV series (in the spirit aesthetically speaking, not in function).
A lot of the original BSG design was McQuarrie, so if you’re going to borrow, it might as well be from the same shared resource.
Cool, let’s hope we see Starbuck and Apollo!
thats a dissected ewok? thats mean!!
Holy moly my hype just went over 9000

This gif is scaring me.
Don’t stop looking at it
I wont…
Just wondering if Lord and Miller’s creative difference was having Chewie wear his bandolier over the wrong shoulder…. I see now how that could be reason for dismissal
wow….. that is pretty messed up, actually…
Maybe this leaked footage we’re seeing is flipped, or the final footage will be flipped? (Sometimes in a movie/TV shoot, things will be purposely staged and shot so that the final image will be mirrored.)
Yep I understand that things are sometimes flipped in movies but Han’s holster is on his right hand side which is correct
If you look closely, it looks as if Chewie may actually be wearing two bandoliers, one over each shoulder. Maybe he originally had two of them, loses one in the film, and decides to stick with just one for the next 40 years. *shrug*
A few observations/questions:
-I’m curious about what seems like an Ewok in a glass case. Plus, there are those huge, lush windows looking out onto a lovely view, and more generally kind of high-class vibe to the scene. Maybe this is the home of some enormously wealthy collector of curiosities that hires Han and company to smuggle or steal some precious artifact?
-Beckett looks to be sportin’ a ‘stache. If so, they’re going with that sweet 70s fashion vibe of ANH, perhaps.
-I guess it’s hard to tell from the low quality pics and footage, but Han’s hair looks a bit too dark. Who knows how it will appear on screen in high-def digital and with color correction?
-Can anyone make out the bit of dialogue in the footage? Sounds to me like “Everyone you like, too.”
Wouldn’t it be the 60s being 10 years before ANH?
Re: the hair, on set photos that were previously leaked and a picture Woody posted, the color at least was spot on. I think it looks darker due to the lighting. Also, yes, the post does wonders.
Maybe it’s the home of King Prana??
I’m thinking the same thing, although there is a slight Imperial flavor to the room.
Yeah that totally looks like an Ewok. So is it alive, or stuffed? Either way, that’s disturbing!
Is Han wearing a brown jacket?
Poe has a brown jacket, Finn has a brown jacket, Cassian had a brown jacket, and now Han?
Not a big deal, but it’s getting a bit bland now.
Maybe Chewie will get one too ? It’d go with his coat colour at least.
Dudes like brown jackets.
And I do have a brown jacket too!
Yeah, give me black jacket. Spice things up, dammit.
Most of the Rogue One gang had brown jackets as well (Jyn, even Bodhi). Brown is the go-to wardrobe color in the SW galaxy I guess.
Feels like Guardians of the Galaxy, Collector’s place
This is interesting timing for “leaked” images. I think we may see some more stuff at D23 like a short teaser or some more stills. They need to get the whole Lord and Miller bad taste out of our mouths. Think of it as a mouthwash teaser.
Even just by looking at these pics, I’m like “Lord and who” ??
It’s another Star Wars movie man !!! Bring it on !!!
Han Solo: Space Raiders of the Last Artefact
I was thinking something similar. Actually, I’d probably be okay with that: a struggling Han is hired to obtain a certain object of interest to a powerful individual with a great deal of means. Perhaps Lando is going after the same object, but in the employ of someone else.
These photos remind me of a recent comic (last couple of years). Think it was the Lando one. A heist to steal sith artefacts from a Star Destroyer I think was the plot. I don’t read them, only skim through the posts about them here.
This movie may also have homages to American Graffiti — landspeeder racing for drag racing.
Are those lifts on Han’s boots?
“C’mon, Solo. Everybody knows that you’re heightening!”
I’m pretty sure they are ticked-soled boots. Just to add an inch to get him closer to Harrison. 🙂
LOL! So they got a guy to play Han who’s absolutely nothing like Harrison Ford, and he even needs lift-boots so he doesn’t look comically short.
“What could possibly go wrong?”
5’9” isn’t exactly comically short. In his youth, Harrison was 6’1” (I’m pretty sure he isn’t now), so with thick soles Alden would be just right.
And with died hair, he actually looks like Han, but I want to see him in motion and hear him talking before I make my judgment. I hope I can get Harrison’s current – gruff – voice out of my head, because young Han had much higher pitch.
He’ll need at least 4 inch boots to match Harrison in height. But it’s also the frame, this boy is too squat.
Most actors don’t report their real height. I reckon Ehrenreich is probably a 5’7″ in real life.
Yep, definitely not 5′ 9″.
Alden is 5´7″, 4.23⁄32in shorter than Harrison
At this point, I’m hoping it will be his performance that convinces us he’s young Han. Like how Karl Urban managed to channel the spirit of DeForest Kelley? Ehrenreich is gonna have to pull off an acting feat like that, I think.
And with the 5 months late-in-the-game hiring of an acting coach for him, what could go wrong?
He’ll need about FIVE inches at least!
Silly of you! Didn´t you realize he use the boots for smuggling?
Loove Seinfled!
To be fair, Joonas Suotamo is 3″ shorter than Peter Mayhew and Donald Glover is 2″ shorter than Billy D. Williams. All the other cast are new characters, so I think as long as the characters we know are relatively the right height standing next to one another, it won’t look off in the movie.
It will if “Han” is wearing lift boots that look like he stole them from Gene Simmons’ concert wardrobe.
The head and all the proportions on shorter people look bigger than on taller…this way you can clearly see that Poe Dameron is not a tall man….for example..
Is anyone else getting just a black rectangle instead of a video?
I’m getting the same thing. I just went to the TMZ article and watched the vid there. Nothing earth-shattering. Looks to me like they’re just setting up a shot.
Yup.
UK based. Mac OS. Tried both Safari and Chrome.
Embedding the thing wasn’t quite working for me, but I tried. Check the TMZ page for the actual video.

I STILL have a bad feeling about this.
It belongs in a museum….in space!!!
Diggin’ the art direction. Midget Han is kinda weird though.
Hey Pablo, what is Solo’s canon height? Does he use parsecs to make himself seem taller?
“What matters is we know he was average heighted for a male human.” *handwaving*
The costumes and background in the first photo looks pretty slick. A type of elegance we haven’t seen since the PT era.
Am hoping we see a lot more lived in grime in the underside of the universe though. Like Jedda or The Ring of Kafrene
Everything since Disney’s buyout has been “lived in and grime,” hence why I posted my original comment. I’m excited to see them address a previous era of Star Wars.
Yeah fair enough. Given the time location of the film it should have some PT feel. It makes sense. Am sure we’ll get a good mix of both. Grime, as Han will probably also mix it in the underworld a bit. Anyway, I just hope it’s good.
Wrong on so many levels. It worked with Obi-Wan because he was old in the OT. If it ends up being good, then I’ll be here admitting I was wrong and happy that it turned out good. I do like the crisp look of the set in the photos.
But this movie never should have been made.
Why? Because you don’t want to see it? That’s pretty selfish.
“Look at the SIZE of that thing” as Wedge might say.
In this case, we are talking about the size of Ehrenreich’s platform boots.
How tall is he?? I didn’t think he looked that short in stature.
5′ 7″ and a bit, but way shorter than John Boyega if you recall the HAN SOLO Panel from SW Celebration ( and obviously Harrison is much taller than Boyega ).
They’ll have to do a RDJ-as-Tony-Stark on Ehrenreich to make him look over 6 feet tall ( which I’m sure they WILL do ).
Put him on a box, dig a trench for the rest of the cast, and bob’s yer uncle, as they say.
Works for Tom Cruise.
Yea, his height can definitely be enhanced in several different ways, but it was one of my biggest concerns off the bat. Harrison Ford is 6’1″ while Ehrenreich is 5’9″…..a whole 4 inches different!
just 5´7″. 🙂 difference is 4.23⁄32in
the difference is 4.23⁄32in – 12 cms
spit my coffee out after reading that! nice one!
I do hope Emilia Clarke is not a Princess Leia anaolgue/”precursor” – i.e. Han’s first encounter with a “Worshipfulness”.
Don´t be so negative – the white dress is just pure coincidence 🙂
I saw a rumour recently that states Beckett and Chewie originally are the best-buddies.
This weird space museum is actually a really cool concept; it reminds me of Guardians of the Galaxy. Seems good.
Benicio Del Torro is actually returning as the collector..marvel and star wars crossover CONFIRMED!!
And thus, the first $3 billion movie was born.
And millions of fanboys may have to change their pants.
Okay to your edit. Yea that would be fucking amazing.
dude, that would be fucking baller
I would quit. Ugh.
I think that eventually, once Disney has run out of ideas, they will make Marvel and Star Wars the same universe.

That will literally never happen.
I don’t want it to, but I bet you left pinkie toe, by 2095 it’ll be a reality.
I wonder if they looked at the assembly cut and said, “Uh oh… we just sorta inadvertently remade Guardians”.
I am worried about this new Han Solo movie

Han Solo: White Knight | A Social Justice Story.
the elevator shaft looks like the the hole that darth maul fell down dohoho
Hmm, I wonder if it could actually be the same set piece that they’ve reused.
going on 20 years later? No.
Off topic, sorry: Disney just put on YouTube the Jyn Forces of Destiny short. Yay. I like Jyn. She’s cool. 🙂
Lol Alden wearing extensive lifts on his boots.
Was JUST going to say that!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ford is 3 inches taller than Ehrenreich & it shows.
I’m not liking his casting, too late now though.
I’ve never liked the idea of recasting Han Solo period.
The whole thing is a bad idea.
Plenty of other stories they could tell. A galaxies worth.
And they can still tell those. There’s no reason why a Han Solo film is somehow stopping any other films from happening.
I know, I’m just fearful of a big Mis-step.
Despite my concerns I have my fingers tightly crossed.
Maybe itś just our mortality talking…..loudly 🙂
Oh I don’t know……one phone call from Kasadan to Kennedy and BOOM!
the first call was from Spielberg 🙂
You mean pull a ‘Marty McFly’.
Stoltz went, Fox slipped in.
The rest is history.
Actually the height differency is just a little bit bigger – 4.23⁄32in
Joonas whatshisface who plays Chewie is shorter than Mayhew, they might balance out next to each other. Plus, Emilia Clarke is petite too.
So Maybe.
I just wish that height was the only issue. If they could make him LOOK like Ford, well, then….
I agree that the costumes look a little too Marvely
Never judge anything from leaked set pics.
my pennies worth ……. itll make a shed load of cash , but be ultimately empty and a bit rubbish
Could that be Cad Banes head in the glass case?
Does that look like an Ewok or am I crazy?

Chak!!
(ewok for yes I believe)
Barbarians!!
Yep that IS an EWOK…how LAME! Han Solo should NEVER lay eyes on an Ewok until ROTJ….So much forced lameness this movie Is going to be.. this must be how Star Trek fans felt when J.J Abrams bent them over…this is going to hurt more than the prequels
“Yep that IS an EWOK…how LAME! Han Solo should NEVER lay eyes on an Ewok until ROTJ”
Maybe he never even glances at the Ewok. you don’t actually know, because you haven’t seen the movie yet. So calm down.
I don´t care about this movie, I won´t see it in theathres, I will never be part of my own personal canon. This Ewok is just one of many reasons why…
Still haven’t seen anything that makes me think that this was a good idea…but holding on to hope that something will.
Han Solo would never wear a costume like that….looks like a F###in Marvel movie…”what a piece of Junk” this movie is going be….It makes my damn skin crawl
He’s literally just wearing a jacket.
