UPDATE! More LEGO Star Wars: Solo Toys Arrive, Revealing Closer Look At New Cast
More Solo: A Star Wars Story LEGO images have arrived, and with them we get a closer look at our cast of characters – and the Millennium Falcon.
First up is another buildable figure – this time, the Range Trooper:
And now, here’s a better look at the Kessel Run Millennium Falcon and a number of the minifigs:
More Solo character names and costumes from LEGO from StarWarsLeaks
UPDATE!
Here are more pictures. Also included are a few looks at some of the sets based on older Star Wars movies.
I think it’s interesting that Han and Qi’Ra both get a pair of minifigs (not including Han’s Imperial disguise) – and I think it has to do with the movie’s time skip. Also, I’ve got a hunch that DD-BD might just be the character that Phoebe Waller-Bridge may be voicing, although I think that she supposedly is doing mo-cap, so I’m not sure how that would work. Also worth noting is that Quay Tolsite could very well be a Pyke alien, judging by the shape of his/her head – which would make a lot of sense if they’re involved with the spice-mining operations on Kessel. Seems like what little information we’ve got out of these images are invaluable, considering how tight-lipped Lucasfilm have been about the movie’s plot.
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 good! I’m sure with Ron Howard directing & Lawrence Kasdan scripting the movie will be great..not like that shitstorm that was The Last Jedi. Ugh, why Lucasfilm approved that god awful script I’ll never know.Poor Mark Hamill..he warned them.

For years, fanboys like you have screamed at Lucasfilm and Disney to incorporate originality in their Star Wars films. When they listen to you and take a risk, you throw a fit and continue whining about how it sucked because it wasn’t your Star Wars. If you wan’t to ask Lucasfilm and Disney for something, be prepared to receive it.
Exactly, can not be more agree… now we will have 20 more movies or exactly the same… I won’t say it was perfect! But it was sooo cool!
Risk? TLJ is straight out of ESB & ROTJ and the only ‘originality’ is that it pulls the rug out on the viewer for every TFA mystery box.
-Rey trains with Luke on a distant island. Sounds like ESB!
-Rey/Kylo/Snoke Throne Room Scenes. Sounds like ROTJ!
-Benecio Del Toro double crosses Finn/Rose. Sounds like Lando in ESB!
-The battle of Creight with this AT-AT lookalikes. Sounds like the battle of Hoth in ESB!
I have no problem if you like TLJ, as I like TFA and that wasn’t original. But this narrative that TLJ is original is utterly laughable.
The order and context in which the events listed above is completely different from the original films.

You’re right… only in The Last Jedi version, you’re wrong. Didn’t expect that did you??? So please, suck the green milk teat and swallow, I’ll say it until the twin suns set on Endor (again, that’s The Last Jedi version)….
Are you trying to make a joke when you keep saying ‘Twin Suns of Endor’ because I don’t get it.
I don’t think the argument was wanting “originality,” we’ve just wanted good, coherent scripts, & The Last Jedi was riddled with ridiculous plot points & ill-conceived melodrama. Ugh. It’s too bad, really, because I had high hopes.
Haha yeah totally, dude. It’s not like any of us wanted it to be bad..I for one had high hopes, but…ugh.

Aww yesss, there it is again. This fuzzy feeling when you see all these creatures and vehicles from the GFFA. I guess the confuison I felt after TLJ didn’t last long after all 🙂
The Last Jedi was awesome. I talked to two people who wanted Luke to crush the First Order at the end, using the force to fling the Walkers around and crush the shuttle into a tiny cube. In other words they wanted a video game Luke. Umm. . . no. . . just. . . no. So glad TBTB don’t listen to basement dwelling nerds.
I agree with you on the Luke part. I think that Luke has transcended the stage where you need to show him in physical combat ripping the FO apart with his lightsaber. Even back in the OT Obi Wan made it quite clear that the last step in the evolution of the Jedi is not that of an unleashed killing mashine but finding your inner peace and transcending the limits of the “mortal world” for the lack of a better word. I do dissagree though in terms of “TLJ was awesome”. There are enough problems to disqulify it from being an awesome movie. It’s not a complete failure either but a truly awesome sequelmovie like say, “The Dark Knight” or “Mad Max: Fury Road” does not cause such massive amounts of division among fans.
You thought it was awesome. Really? You like male characters being bumbling idiots? I thought the movie sucked really bad. Except for the visuals, ok, the CGI/special effects/etc. were great, but for every other reason under the twin suns of Endor (again, that’s sarcasm) mentioned unlimited times on “Why the Last Jedi Sucked” all over the interwebverse, it was a horrible movie. #NotMyStarWars sorry, not sorry.

“Really? You like male characters being bumbling idiots? I thought the movie sucked really bad.”
Dude, that’s some seriously intellectual insight.
As if showing the flaws of TLJ requires srs intellectual insight.
The best part of TLJ is the post-credits scene where we get to watch the misogynistic hate morons crash and burn.
Yeah. Luke was really a bumbling idiot when he sacrificed himself in order to save the last of the Resistance. What a buffoon.
They don’t make these movies for alt-righter cretins, that’s for sure…
Luke’s actions at the end were complete in character. and he went out right. He didn’t die from injuries sustained in lightsaber combat (at least, I don’t think he did). He didn’t die in come glorious explosion. He let himself go after dealing with and facing down one of his failed responsibilities. Thank god we didn’t see Luke go out in some sort of corny blaze of glory. He went out like Obi-Wan and Yoda. He went out like a friggin’ Jedi. Leaving the theater for the first time, I overheard someone say, “When Luke walked out onto that field, I was so waiting for him to move his hand and knock over all those AT-ATs.” It’s better that he didn’t; way, way better. Luke’s warrior days are over. Bad guys or not, we’re just not seeing a Luke who’s willing to potentially kill hundreds of people with a wave of an arm. He’s been there. He’s done that. And he’s done with that. And honestly, Luke was never much of a fighter and often times, his going on the offensive worked against him. When Luke confronted Vader in ESB, he nearly got himself killed. Fighting him in front of the Emperor very nearly tipped him to the dark side. Eventually, he refuses to fight Vader until Leia is threatened. When cornered by the Emperor, Luke tosses away his lightsaber and tells him to go pound salt. And when, years later, we see Luke pull out his lightsaber to deal with another potential (or perceived) threat, things go horribly awry.
What a contrast to the Jedi we see die in the Prequels. Palpatine’s greatest achievement wasn’t so much the eradication of the Jedi so much as that fact that before dropping the ax, he maneuvered them into becoming everything they asserted they were not. The Jedi we see die in the Prequels have become grunts, soldiers, military leaders….generals. And they died like them. They died with their sins intact: “Unhousel’d, disappointed, unanel’d.”

Well said. Let me add that no Star Wars Character had such a bad-ass goodbye; not Yoda, not Obi Wan, not Qui Gonn, maybe Vader by killing the Emperor, but taking on a whole army, misleading the Supreme Leader of the First Order, giving hope to the hopeless by fooling everybody is unique and astonishing and one of the things I like about TLJ the most!
True. Luke has some Vader in him, and he knows this. He realizes that if he goes on the attack, he’s really tempting that dark side. When in ROTJ Luke tells the Emperor, “I am a Jedi” – he’s fully realizing that going on the offensive isn’t what he’s supposed to do. He tosses away his lightsaber and trusts fully in the Force. Walking out onto that salt flat and leveling those walkers is something Vader would have done, not Luke.
Obi-Wan sacrificed himself heroically to save everyone. Regardless of how “cool it looked” because low-budget 70’s sci-fi film, his death is the only exception, although he like Qui-Gon died after appearing in 1 film a piece. And as for Yoda he was conceived as a slow moving puppet that died of old age.
Way to ought yourself as a Prequel baby.
Luke Skywalker on the other hand is one of the most recognizable characters in movie history, and easily one of the most popular protagonists in heroic fiction ever conceived.
They accomplished absolutely nothing ground breaking story-wise by having Luke project himself at the end instead of actually showing up and instead pissed off a lot of fans.
But truth is Star Wars has had a major issue with giving most of it’s characters a proper heroic death.
Again, how would you have handled it? The only other way that scene plays out is Luke being there, slaying Kylo, crushing the First Order and it playing out like a video game. I love video games but I don’t want video game moments in movies. There’s a reason there’s no such thing as a good movie based on a video game because video game tropes don’t translate into good movies. What RJ did was completely different and unexpected and at the same time beautiful. Watching Luke pass peacfully staring at twin binary suns, while accomplishing what he set out to do, saving the remnants of the Resistance, creating a bigger legend around himself that everyone could rally around and helping the galaxy. If he was really there, Jedi or not, he’d be vapor when those walkers fired. Again the only way that wouldn’t happen would be video game Luke take over and that would have been silly. The ending we got was much more emotionally impactful.
Wow – well said!
Agree completely.
Re: Prequel Jedi failing
Regardless of one’s opinion of the prequels as far as acting/dialogue or any perceived short-comings.
Lucas had specifically set up the narrative to demonstrate that the Jedi had lost their way.
They went from being “peace keepers” to pure warriors (generals/fighters). And they held-on to failed dogmatic ways.
Re: Luke & the Jedi failure/story arc cont’d in TLJ
Rian actually did an amazing job of continuing & completing that story with Luke, “the last jedi”, being the one to recognize the failure of the dogmatic Jedi past. Led by his own instincts/conscience/The Force he went against his teachers (“old ways”) & that was the correct Light-side path.
“Stay & complete training”, ‘Kill your own father’ – Nope!
His willingness to put his faith in Light/goodness, via self sacrifice led to Anakin’s redemption.
Luke knew that killing hundreds of FO soliders & his nephew wasn’t the correct action.
Even Rose’s, imho somewhat corny delivered line, about (paraphrase) not “killing enemy” but “saving those we love” highlighted this narrative.
“You will know (the good from the bad) when you are
calm, at peace. Passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and
defense, never for attack.” – Yoda
Luke’s story, including conclusion of his life, was the embodiment of this.
Any news on the rumors that the trailer is being held up because of poor Last Jedi box office, oh and please stop with the #1 movie of the year nonsense, it is so far below what they expected even these tweets coming out cant help it.
Cant wait to see everybody explain away Kennedy’s dismissal as part of some master plan. Haha
maybe we can make up a she got fired drinking game
” moving on to bigger projects”
” always planned to leave after Last Jedi”
” accomplished what she set out to do”
” Disney couldn’t be more pleased with what she did”
see how easy it is !
“…oh and please stop with the #1 movie of the year nonsense, it is so far below what they expected even these tweets coming out cant help it.”
Can you forward a link that details Disney’s expectations before the movie was released?
Would really help to add some weight to your assertions.
He won’t. He can’t. He’s just here to piss and moan about the movie for a while. Then, I suspect, he’ll completely disappear. Hopefully sooner than later. I love most of the discussion on this site, but when someone comes here just to repeatedly vent about a movie they don’t like, it gets pretty old.
im not replying to your kind, with the childish name calling, grow up and learn to have a rational discussion without insulting people.
You dont like what I have to say fine, but I have never belittled anyone for a difference of opinion.
I can safely say Kenny Ritchie and I dont agree on anything, But a smile crosses my face when he replies to my posts, because he NEVER insults anyone and his GIFs are usually awesome

Sure all though Disney’s predictions are kept close to the vest, I have an article from Box Office Observer with INDUSTRY expectations for the film’s domestic results.
If you have seen any overseas projections, I would love to see them

Again, your comments are nothing but empty assertions without understanding Disney’s expectations.
Oh, and I’m still smiling
http://money.cnn.com/2017/12/08/media/star-wars-last-jedi-box-office-week/index.html
This article from December 8th specifically states they were tracking numbers close to TFA the week before the movie came out. And the only thing that could derail that is if there is bad reviews or a backlash among the fans. Well, the movie is now 220 million behind TFA in box office comparision so please don’t telll me there wasn’t a backlash on some part of the fanbase that didn’t go back to see this movie.
Yes there was a backlash, but it’s impossible to tell how much of a factor it was. But comparing The Last Jedi with The Force Awakens in nonsensical. Movies that hit those heights come along every 10 years or so. That is the point.

What name did I call you?
Disney expected it to do around $750 million domestically. From the looks of things now, $600 million won’t come easy- if at all.
Can you provide a link that supports your comment?
Also, The Last Jedi is currently on over $572 million. It’ll pass $600 million.
Yep; right now it’s expected to do about $640 million.
Anyone with half a brain knew that (a) the box office wouldn’t keep TFA numbers and (b) that a segment of the fans would be pissed anyways.
Be sure that there’s nothing here that’s surprising anyone in the industry. And your wet dreams about Kennedy being dismissed are hilarious and delusional.
You’re telling me the return of Luke Skywalker is worth less then 230 million in box office for TLJ? Let me repeat: THE RETURN OF LUKE SKYWALKER is 230 million behind TFA box office. There is no way Disney predicted that, as that was the whole reason to hold him off til Episode 8.

Expecting Luke Skywalker to be this big box office draw is always a bit dodgy, though. To most newer generations, he isn’t a hero they grew up with. It may be a bitter pill to swalow, but the sequels are Rey, Finn and Poe’s story. The rest are supporting characters and have been marketed as such.
Going by what we have so far, story-wise, the reason Luke was kept until TLJ was to focus on the three main OT characters separately. Carrie Fisher’s death changes things immensely, but Leia seems to have been set up to have the next major mentor role in the final act of the trilogy.
The movie is TOTALLY marketed with Luke, as his head is right in the middle of the poster. He was on just as many Talk Shows as Daisy Ridley (probably even more), and that was a HUGE draw to get a certain segment of the fanbase back into the theater after the death of Han Solo.
This is my point about the excuse machine as all of the sudden Luke Skywalker is not an important box office draw. Again, everyone was pounding their chest opening weekend when TLJ did 220 million to TFA 240 million, but is now down 30% after a segment of the fanbase didn’t like the movie and didn’t come back on repeat business.
You actually prove my point, though. Losing the interest of just “a certain segment of the fanbase” to re-watch a film may dent box office numbers but not cause serious damage. It’s average film-goers that determine the success of a film, and in that respect TLJ had more of an uphill battle than TFA for a number of reasons.
exactly, what a perfect time to show the next Star Wars trailer, at a Star Wars film!
talk about a captive audience, to let such an opportunity slip by, just makes you shake your head in disbelief
I will admit the lack of a ‘Solo’ trailer, even a teaser, was weird. That really was the perfect time for it, if they’re sticking to the May release date.

TFA did 247,9m, but nice try.
Yes, I am telling you exactly that. TFA was an anomaly – the return of Star Wars after Lucas handed to a new generation of filmmakers and after we all thought it was dead. And I guarantee you that everyone involved in the production was expecting something similar.
You are trying to use a box-office number to somehow justify your opinion of the movie. There’s nothing wrong with you not liking it, but your need to try to ‘prove’ it’s bad just shows how insecure you are about your own opinion. This need for proof and validation is silly and childish.
Yep, you’re exactly right. Any time TLJ isn’t absolutely dominating, these crows shout about how audiences must have hated it; it’s a huge DISAPPOINTMENT!!1ONE!!
But then, when we show stats that indicate just how well TLJ is doing, suddenly box office has NO correlation to the quality of a film; the two have nothing to do with another.
It’s pathetic.
Poor box office? The Last Jedi made a billion dollars. And it’s still in theaters.
There is an article in Forbes that TLJ will have the biggest worldwide drop in Box office of any sequel in history from its predecessor. The return of Luke Skywalker should be on par with TFA Box office numbers and it’s not even close, so somebody out there isn’t going back like they did repeated times for TFA.
Forbes you say:

Don’t worry when Episode 9 makes less then TLJ and TFA, the excuse will be SW fatigue. It’s funny cause they were pounding their chests for TLJ 220 million dollar opening weekend and the excuse machine started after it dropped 69% the next weekend.

RotJ made less than ANH and ESB. What’s your comment on that?
My comment is that you have no idea what you are talking about. Check http://www.boxofficemojo.com
This is the inital run for the OT movies WITHOUT the re-releases and special editions: ROTJ made more then ESB, just like ROTS made more then AOTC. I guarantee Episode 9 will make less then the gross of TFA and TLJ seperately.
ANH 1977: 307 million
ESB 1980: 209 million
ROTJ 1983: 252 million
If you only count the initial domestic reults than indeed.
But since ESB was played in far less theaters than RotJ initially (due to back then little trust in the sequel), it’s better to count the final results imo.
ESB made more with the 97 re-release nevertheless.
It made more with with the home release as well.
Looking at this as a chess game, Disney is raking in its opponent’s pieces while at the same time not positioning itself for winning moves down the line.
Maybe you should concern yourself less with Star Wars in the future. You seem to be a nay-sayer and nothing else.
well however funny it would be if they said that to her, i dont think that will be the excuse
Right. That shitty sequel to A New Hope sold only 50% of the tickets that A New Hope did. I guess it was because no one liked it. What a crappy movie.
Plus even that 30% drop isn’t as bad as many think it is: https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2018/01/07/stop-pretending-star-wars-the-last-jedi-isnt-a-big-box-office-hit/amp/

“it is so far below what they expected”
How on Earth do you know what they expected? If they were smart, they would have expected a 30-35% drop-off from TFA, which is exactly what TLJ is projected to achieve.
The Last Jedi earned another $23 million this weekend, bringing its domestic take to $572 million, the sixth highest grossing movie in American history. One can project that the film will end up just north of $600 million when all is said and done, which would put it between 65-70% of TFA’s astronomical and record smashing $936 million. This is perfectly comparable to Attack of the Clones’ drop off from The Phantom Menace, and Empire’s drop off from A New Hope. The film surpassed Rogue One’s total take in a little over two weeks. So tell me, exactly how much money was TLJ supposed to make, and why was it’s drop off not going to be comparable to the other two trilogy’s second films?
You are totally right. I mean you can make a case that TLJ is “slightly” under performing expectations and that maybe due to the fact the film has divided the fandom a bit.
But at the end of the day TLJ is nothing short of a huge success for Disney. Sixth highest grossing film of all time kind of trumps any weakness.
Um, well, AOTC wasn’t even #1, or even #2 or #3 at the BO for 2002. There was much more backlash towards that film, certainly from the critics, than TLJ. And AOTC most definitely had more competition at the box office than TLJ. Even if TLJ makes it over $600 (which it will), it’ll still be about $300 less than TFA. All the experts and analysts were saying it was going to make $750 million by the end of its run. Seriously doubt that.
Ok, scrolled down to hopefully see people discussing that the Pyke Syndicate are being made into live action (or whether they’re not Pykes), since I think it’s great to see more Clone Wars elements hitting the movies after Saw Gererra, and instead it’s just people moaning about TLJ?
Ugh.
Anyway it may just be Lego, but it’s a nice insight into the aesthetic design of the new movie which I think looks great. It’s certainly got my curiosity and excitement building. Looking forward to this. But am I being daft or has Lego stuck the Republic logo on the side of the Imperial speeder???
go to Eurobricks.com for lego discussions over the 2018 SOLO Lego wave.
Nope its a nice imperial logo on the 1×1 round tile and its a print and u will probably get 2+1 of them (sphere parts) in each of those Battlepacks.
Im not sure its a Pyke, its a helmet to me. A Pyke would be probably made as a complete head mold instead of a helmet on a regular minifig head.
Im very happy with the SW alien dogs – there is too little animals in SW Lego
so , googling a bit shows results about a han solo trailer on januari 8th 2018.. because of a major sport event on a channel owned by Disney. Is this true? im from Holland btw so no knowledge about sports in the USA.
but, okay, I want a trailerrrrrrrr!!!!!!
I love how people are saying that TLJ’s longer running time is what is hurting its performance at the B.O. That may play some part, but TLJ’s problems run much, much, more deeper than that.

There’s not much “hurting” its box office at all. It’s the 2nd fastest growing film ever, it’s making an insane killing domestically, and its box office legs are pretty good considering its status as a front loaded blockbuster.
Have you never heard of inflation? The Last Jedi has sold less tickets than any other live action Star Wars. 2017 on the whole was not a record breaking year by any stretch for Hollywood.
You like the film we get it, but it’s B.O. performance is not that great at all, in fact Disney has only just now about broken even on what they paid for Star Wars in the first place.
The question is – why do any of you care? Why don’t all of you groknards stop trying to use box office to justify your religious wars? Remember the adage – correlation is not causation. Y’all can have a saber-waving contest all day and it doesn’t add any weight to your opinions.

“it’s B.O. performance is not that great at all”
It will end up as one of the highest grossing films in all of global box office history. That is an objective success (small or large is irrelevant), and I will not entertain a notion to the contrary, because numbers don’t lie.
But… .it’s still in theaters… The day after Avengers comes out, I’m going to say it sucks because it sold barely any tickets.

So many delusional fanboys in here. Look people, The Force Awakens was a total slam dunk at the Box Office, it is legitimately accounting for inflation the 3rd Highest Grossing film of all time, right behind Gone with the Wind and the Original Star Wars.
But guess what’s right behind them? TPM, ROTJ and TESB. Guess what’s not? TLJ, AOTC, ROTS and TLJ.
It’s okay that you like the film, but this is not a matter of opinion. Less people are buying tickets for the Last Jedi than any other live action Star Wars film, and inflation alone doesn’t account for the discrepancy, movie tickets have not risen in price at the rate of inflation. When I saw AOTC, it was like 9 dollars for a ticket. It was 16 dollars for my TLJ ticket at the same theater. Even after inflation is considered my TLJ ticket cost about 40% more, why? Because less people even go to theaters at all anymore.
The Force Awakens is truly the only exception to the rule, because it did the unthinkable and legitimately sold a shit ton of tickets.
TLJ is a “hit” sure, but by Star Wars standards it’s not doing very well and is not anywhere even remotely close to 6th highest grossing film of all time unless you’re a complete idiot that’s never heard of inflation before so you didn’t know that the original Star Wars actually sold something like 10 times as many tickets.
So we should compare tickets sold from a film nowadays to a film from 40 years ago, when video games, YouTube, cell phones, home video, iTunes, Netflix, high quality television, and more didn’t exist, and movies stayed in theaters for YEARS with reissues?
Seems fair. /s
How about we agree that all Star Wars films are big and successful and we should all stop bickering like little children. Sounds good to me.
Uh, yeah… not so much, Jacob.
The amount of money the original STAR WARS made in its initial theatrical release is actually lower than most people think. It’s not $322 million. That was after 5 years and multiple re-releases! Its actual first run in theaters was from 5/25/77 – 4/14/78 (47 weeks) and it made $215.5 million domestic. That’s right, it took nearly an entire year to make that much money. At an average ticket price of $2.23, it sold approximately 97 million tickets. Again, in about a year (329 days).
THE LAST JEDI has made $572.5 million domestic in 24 days of release. At an average ticket price of $8.93, that’s about 64 million tickets sold. So, in only 24 days it’s sold 2/3rds (66%) the number of tickets STAR WARS did in its first year. A large part of that’s because STAR WARS was only in 1,096 theaters in 1977-78 whereas THE LAST JEDI is in 4,232 theaters (and many more screens per theater).
If THE LAST JEDI were allowed to stay in a few hundred theaters for 329 days, how many tickets would it ultimately sell do you think? My guess is it would probably surpass 97 million tickets. It’ll certainly reach 70-75 million tickets sold by the end of its 20th week.
The point is you are comparing apples to oranges in a misguided attempt to make THE LAST JEDI look like some kind of financial failure. It is not.

Yes less people are going to the movies. That much is clear. But a movie’s box office is no indication of it’s quality. If so, Adam Sandler would be considered the greatest comedian of all time.
Logic is flawed since TLJ is still in theaters and selling tickets. You can’t compare it until it’s theatrical run is complete.

Wait there is a time jump in this movie? Since when?
Also my eyes hurt every single time I look at the Millennium Falcon.
Time jumps have been in, since the script was written.
What a bunch of children on here. Saw TLJ for the second time last night. I liked it even more. Now, you guy/gals can go about your stupid bickering.
I watched it 4x in the 1st two weeks in the theater. The 1st time I hated it, by the 3rd time it was ok. What’s your point? That we can’t have opinions? BTW, it was free for me the last three viewings.
Glad you liked it, but this 45 yr old child who seen the OT in theaters thinks the last 5 are just OK.
I’m also a big collector or toys and these last few flicks aren’t getting me to bite.
