Solo: A Star Wars Story Super Bowl Teaser, My Thoughts

When Disney acquired Lucasfilm, it was a no-brainer that new films would be coming. Among those were a couple of "anthology" films that would not be directly connected to the main Star Wars series. The first one of these films was Rogue One, which focused on the story of how the Rebellion gained the plans to the original Death Star, which allowed them to destroy it in the first Star Wars movie, A New Hope.

Now, with the Super Bowl, a new teaser for the second anthology film is here: Solo, focusing on a young Han Solo and younger Chewbacca before the events of the original Star Wars trilogy, including meeting Lando Calrissian and presumably obtaining the Millennium Falcon. Let's check it out!

The trailer begins with...a man flicking some switches. Yeah, in the Star Wars universe, you have to flick lots of switches to make something work there...except for lightsabers. Lightsabers are special.

We then see a man asing another man if he wants to make a difference. In the Star Wars universe, asking that always leads to an epic adventure.  

Star Destroyer floating through a...nebula? Cloud? Can Star Destroyers enter atmospheres? Either way, it looks cool.

Ahh, Empire officer man is recruiting. You see, that's how the Empire gets you. They promise epic adventure and visiting exotic locales, but you end up in white armor getting shot while somehow losing any ability to aim straight.

Best pilot in the Galaxy. I know a guy who said that once. Ended up eating an asteroid.

Hey, Millennium Falcon! Yeah, I figured this movie would tell how Han obtained it.

Oh hi, Lando! Yeah, that's Donald Glover, he's the new Lando. Well, the young Lando. Looks cool.

Hmm, I enjoyed Rogue One, so I am hoping this is good. Looks like it might be. Can't wait!
