Unseen Photos From The Solo: A Star Wars Story Set In Fuerteventura Surface
A couple of unseen photos from the Fuerteventura set of Solo: A Star Wars Story have surfaced. Read on for more details.
According to our friends over at La Fosa del Rancor, the film is undergoing some additional photography. Now, bear in mind that this new round of filming is stated to be pick-ups to aid in the post-production process and not a significant overhaul of the existing movie, as explained previously on this site. The photos below were from principal photography, and they look to be showing reference to an ocean of some sort. Nothing spectacular or breaking but these are still interesting to say the least. At the time of writing this, there is no further information about these photos.
Translated from Spanish:
The set is made up of pipes, installations, and some type of abandoned machinery together with the well-known humidity evaporators on the shore of a beach. It is still unknown the planet where these scenes will develop but many rumors suggest that it may be Corellia, the home planet of Han Solo, or the mines of Kessel (which we saw in the first season of Star Wars Rebels) and whose famous “Kessel Run” was made by the Millennium Falcon in less than 12 parsecs (which we will probably see in the movie).
As we now know from the leaked merchandise, there’s one other planet we can add to that list of possible candidates: Mimban. In all likelihood, it’ll be none of these things and we’ll probably learn that it’s some new planet that hasn’t been seen before. Now if only we could only get a trailer in the next few days…
Solo: A Star Wars Story will debut worldwide on May 25, 2018.

Question:
Rey was a tougher than nails scrapper, having grown up on a desert salvage planet, and living life beating off armed scum twice her weight with a stick.
Why would she be so offended by seeing a man with his shirt off?
MeToo
I don’t think she was. She was attracted to him. The feelings she felt towards him made her uncomfortable.
But if she was attracted to him, wouldn’t she like to see him with his shirt off?
But if she was attracted to him, wouldn’t she like to see him with his shirt off?
I’m guessing she’s inexperienced and not used to those kind of feelings. Him being shirtless is a distraction.
But wouldn’t she have seen shirtless or half shirtless men countless times among the barbaric savages of the salvage planet Jakku?
No idea. Bad sunburn could be an issue.
Why would Rey feel so uncomfortable at seeing a man in his prime with his shirt off, but then be perfectly okay with seeing an elderly man milk an alien nipple?
Why would Rey feel so uncomfortable at seeing a man in his prime with his shirt off, but then be perfectly okay with seeing an elderly man milk an alien nipple?
Is it so different than milking a cow, goat, or sheep?
I imagine not. But I don’t think that’s necessarily germane to the question I’m asking.
Basically, one would think that watching an elderly man milk an alien nipple, would make one far more uncomfortable than seeing a man in his prime simply with his shirt off. But with Rey, the reverse seems to be the case. Why would that be?
I dunno what to say mate. She seemed a little disgusted when he drank the milk, you could see that by the expression on her face.
What’s your take?
I must have missed that.
I really don’t know what to think. There’s so many bizarre things in this movie, I’m still trying to process it and figure it all out.
Fair play.
Good or bad, it makes a movie more interesting though.
Definitely. I enjoy having these kinds of conversations about movies good or bad.
that’s awesome how they ruined their own “exclusive photos” by watermarking the shit out of them.

… in order to prevent other outlets from taking credit for the photos. That’s called protecting your own ass in the 21st century.
Evaporators…haven’t seen those before.
Why would you even need them with the Ocean on the doorstep, better a desalination unit connected to the sea.
Edit: Should add I don’t mind them. Seen them before, but I like the mixture of old and new.
Maybe they aren’t moisture vaporators.
Maybe they’re desalinators.
Who says the sea is going to be in the scene?
Who says the sea is going to be in the scene?
Who says its not?
I’m just suggesting that it could be a scene/area where the sea is not supposed to be part of the shot… your reply sounds kinda silly.
That’s because its in the same tone as your post.

That’s because its in the same tone as your reply in pointing out the obvious.
Can they make a movie where they don’t do a cross between telling the same old story while also trying to make the OT characters into useless failures.

What does that have to do with the topic of this article?
What does that have to do with the topic of this article?
He’s asking a question about the Han Solo film, which is the topic of this article.
Han Solo before ANH was a liar, a failure, la contabandist interested only in money and women. Hope they don’t make him a hero before ANH
Cool.
Very cool.
Actually those evaporators are a new design.
Are they? Or are they based on 40 year old Ralph McQuarrie rejects from the OT like everything else in these Disney films?
I was just simply stating that they’re not that design that we saw on taooine, in TFA and R1 and everywhere a moisture vaporator was featured but a bit different.
Fair enough.
Booooooooooooooooooooooooring.
At the time when Ron Howard took over it was nice marketing to see some production pictures, but now all i want to see is a trailer. So that i can check whether the film is even worth caring about.
Like with the leaked HD images of lego, it is not that usual that HD images get leaked that soon, but i was very useful to me. Even if the movie sucks i am interested in the lego sets if they are for a reasonable not overpriced price (unlike E8 sets which i already skipped 2 sets in 50% discount as i have no use for ST era outfits – im skipping the entire era)
Wow, I wish I could watch a 2 minute movie trailer and make a sound judgement on whether the movie “is even worth caring about.” Is that your super power?

I was super hyped after R1 trailer, i was like meh after TLJ trailer. So yes, also initial feeling counts.
Because you have another super power where you know that you won’t like a movie for attention and then in hindsight say the trailer is meh.
Or maybe he just knows how a trailer makes him feel about a movie; the whole point of a trailer.
Isn’t that the purpose of a trailer though, to get the potential audience interested?
One would think.
Booooooooooooooooooooooooring comment.
Because you are above all marketing for The Last Jedi
I SAW MOISTURE VAPORATORS AND I CLAPPED!
I SAW RED LETTER MEDIA AND I IMITATED!
Is this replacing interesting, well thought-out comments?
Trailer tomorrow maybe?
There has been so much silence around this shoot. I don’t know that I mind it so much as much as I just wonder what the strategy is. I’m beginning to think that playing Han was more difficult than they thought and perhaps they are holding off for as long as they can. That’s purely the cynic in me but I do think playing Han and getting his mannerisms and charisma down is going to be the hardest miracle to pull off in this shoot. I would think something more substantial should be on the horizon soon, like a trailer, though. Who knows.
Just because it’s filmed at the seaside doesn’t mean it’ll be set by sea (Take Tosche Station)
Very true.
“It’s the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.”
That’s it, I’m starting a Parsec Pool, where we can bet on the actual time/distance for the Millennium Falcon to do the Kessel Run in the film.
I’ve got 11.97
Thirteen.
(Han’s still a lying scoundrel sack o’ shit at this point.)
11.99, and it wasn’t Han flying.
Disney’s disclaimer: “bear in mind that this new round of filming is stated to be pick-ups to aid in the post-production process and not a significant overhaul of the existing movie”. Translation: Please wait until the movie comes out to hate on it. LoL
Along with the news that John Williams is coming on board to score a track and these pick-up shots, it kinda of negates that recent rumour that Disney have already written this movie off.
Kasdan’s a plus. Opie’s a plus. Williams is a plus. Art department leaks look fantastic. I’m guessing the only hangup will be the OT audience immersing ourselves in the notion that this new kid is Han. Not an easy job for him, but equally out of my control not to shoot him down if I can’t buy it. We’ll see.
Yes, the no. 1 concern.
Not even bothering with this one in Theaters.
Not even bothering with this one in Theaters.
I certainly won’t be bothering with Episode IX. But I will give Ron Howard a chance to impress me with a trailer.
Having said that, if it looks like its a story about how Emilia Clarke’s character showed Han Solo the ropes, then I’m out too.
Ron Howard is fine I just don’t share the old school fascination with the Han Solo character.
For instance SW Characters I like more than Han Solo in no order: Luke, Leia, Padme Obi-Wan, Mace Windo, Yoda, Darth Vader/Anakin, The Emperor, Qui-Gon, Darth Maul, Reven. I could go on but you get the idea.
I have nothing against Han Solo but my favorite parts of Star Wars are the Force, Jedi and Sith. Always been kinda meh on the Bounty Hunter and Smuggler side characters. Those can be done in any SciFi series. Jedi, Sith, Lightsabers, the force those are unique to Star Wars. So you can see why I’m not terribly excited.
I’m somewhat on the same page with you.
I do like the Han Solo character very much. But part of what I like about him is the mystery about him and his wobbly moral code. You don’t really know what he’s going to do, at least not until Return of the Jedi when he appears to turn over a new leaf after being freed from the carbonite and rescued from Jabba by his friends.
The Han Solo character works in IV because he places Luke Skywalker in greater jeopardy. We see him kill Greedo without a problem. So we don’t know if he might do the same to Luke and Ben if the proverbial s**t hits the fan. Or even if he’ll turn them over to the Empire if he needs to.
By laying out the character’s history in this movie, it kind of removes that giant question mark about the character and what he may or may not do, thus diminishing the jeopardy that Luke and Ben are in.
Having said all that, I’m still willing to keep an open mind on the trailer.
Re: “Not even bothering with this one in Theaters”
When it releases in theatres, make sure & come back here & not bother to post about not bothering to have an opinion on it, as you’ll have not bothered to see it.
I’m sure that made sense in your head.
Nobody cares.
People who don’t care don’t reply.

in tangential news, deadpool 2 moved its release date up to the weekend prior to solo. should be interesting to see how that battle plays out.
You really have to ask?
😉
well at the very least its clear they don’t fear solo.
Oh… totally fearless. I’m genuinely stoked for Deadpool 2.
different audiences, really. Deapool is R. families will be going to see Solo (as in with young kids). however…. when i saw deadpool, some lady brought her 6 year old and sat behind us….. god damn lol
so basically, solo is depending on the same demographic as minions. swell.
that’s always been the demographic <.< since 1977
Funny you mention that. There was a five year old with his dad sitting next to me…..they left like 15 mins in. LOL.
the lady and kid STAYED…… so during the sex scene (which, if i remember correctly, was super hardcore for a movie), i heard the kid say “Can i watch now?”. So i am assuming she was covering his eyes XD
They better add something clever to their marketing campaign with something along the lines of “we’ll see who shoots first this time” or some crap like that or it will be such a missed opportunity. Lol
if lord and miller were still there maybe, but uncle ron is like, “what are memes?”
Well someone needs to tell him memes are life ASAP.
I might wait till the blu Ray for this one, I’m more into the trilogies

Do we get a scene where Han shoots first and he breaks the third wall while looking at the camera and winks.
You can bet there was one until the Lego guys were fired.
4th wall.
You’re insinuating that the current Star Wars films are three-dimensional.
(See what I did there?)
Unless he hits the third wall, then breaks the fourth.

Third wall!!! Ha ha ha ha! You doofus.
Why are there always so many comments from spoiled-whiny-prima-donnas? Is the tipical fan of SW arrogant-spoiled-whiny-prima-donnas? What is happening?
Why not focus your comments on the film, rather than try to disparage those who express opinions that you may not like?
I try, but I go to the comments section and all I read are the annoying Luke’s widows complaining (again and again and again) about a movie which even the trailler wasn’t shown yet.
Luke’s Widows…..LOL. I feel ya, most of the comments are from negative nancies…but it’s posts like yours that keeps me going !!! Luke’s Widows can STFU and disappear…….like the Saints did earlier !! Go Vikings !!! Go Jags !! New blood in the SB, please !!! Let the Patriots join the Saints and the Aints (Lukes’ Widows) !!!
greatest game I have seen in a long, long time!
F tom brady
I think they only exist online, I’ve yet to meet a TLJ naysayer in real life.
Why ARE all the comments (NO ARE) always from spoiled-whiny-PRIMA DONNAS. Is the TYPICAL fan of SW AN arrogant-spolied-whiny-PRIMA DONNA? What is happening?
Answer- NO.
‘What is happening’- you my friend are on the wrong place. And please improve your grammar.
prima donna, not primadonna. Maybe you should improve your grammar first.
Darned spell check!
Move on my friend. Kill the past, let the past die.
We come here to discuss star wars. What we get is the vocal minority drowning out any discourse with your “Disney killed my childhood” mantra. Also, let us not forget that until 2015, that mantra was “Lucas killed my childhood,” so not only does the whining fall flat, it shows that no one will ever be able to make a Star Wars film, not even the creator of the franchise, good enough for this group of zealots. Choke on it.

I’m looking forward to the long version of “Leave Britney Alone”.
Maybe this’ll do?

That will keep me going until I get my fix.
That will keep me going until I get my fix.
What’s happening is that you just blanketed a forum of strangers with the lovely appraisal of being “arrogant-spolied-whiny-prima-donnas.” Twice.
Making friends *isn’t* what’s happening.
Ok, strangers, but the whining is very familiar and annoying. who doesn’t know how a 3-year-old-spoiled girl sound even if she is an stranger? And the prima donnas are 10%, but are the noisiest, and make 70% of the commentaries and opinions here and on rottentomatos. If someone hate everything that’s not ANH and ESB, should leave SW alone and go comment star trek.
If you’re looking to get to know 3-year-old girls, this might not be the forum for you.
i don’t look for them, they come insistently here comment how TLJ destroyed their life and refused the Big Mac they expected
“What is happening?” The SW franchise is getting destroyed, that happening 🙁
Some contingent of fans has been saying that since 1980, stfu or find a new hobby.
According to you….The box office and critical reception point otherwise. Oh and the fan reaction (the one provided by legitimate sources) points otherwise as well.
Weren’t we supposed to get a trailer for this on, like Friday or something?
turned out to be #fakenews.
Groan!
Or they are afraid to release it 🙂
I almost guarantee if the Solo trailer hits in the next few weeks, people will start changing their tune about seeing it. Unless the trailer is underwhelming, LOL. I can’t fathom that there are some SW fans that won’t watch this movie. Really bizarre if you ask me.
I wont watch it in cinema first. Ill check any cam i could find first. I dont want to be added to the number of B.O. sales for a film i did not liked.
On contrary, i would be most happy to buy a permanent ticket for a month and see it as much i i can manage during that month, the same i did with R1.
But right at this moment im starting to be really impatient with the trailer.
I probably won’t watch it over Deadpool and Infinity War unless it’s good.
I’m completely over Marvel
Where’s the trailer???
Shouldnt be good for Disney to move the attention from TLJ hate to something else ?
the tagline should be:
Rian Johnson was nowhere near this thing

😀
but not sure if i want to see Boba in it. They already managed to mess this character in the new EU comix making him just a stupid killer (killing jawas). I like him in the Blood Ties: Boba Fett is Dead.
Or even in that comix where he left his armor for repair and then killed all the bounty hunters against him with initially just his hands, leaving the main villain live just to prove he will be just number 2.
Ron Howard has directed more films than all other Star Wars directors combined. Probably.
