Han Solo’s bluff falls flat in latest Solo: A Star Wars Story clip

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) is one charming son of a bitch, and there's not a lot that he can't get away with, but every so often, his reach exceeds his grasp. In the latest clip from the upcoming SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY, Han, along with Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson), Qi'ra (Emilia Clarke), and Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo), encounters Enfys Nest, an infamous pirate who leads the Cloud-Riders. Clearly outnumbered, Solo attempts to sway the scales in their favour by claiming that the nearby Millennium Falcon contains about thirty hired guns, only for the Falcon to fly off into the distance. Ruh oh.

The release of SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY is nearly here, and although there has been much anxiety in regards to the quality of the film (understandable, given the troubled production), if the first reactions are to be believed, we're in for one hell of a fun ride. Critics who caught the film during the screening praised it as action-packed delight and noted that Donald Glover stole the show as Lando Calrissian. Surprise, surprise. I'm still keeping my expectations in check, but I'm more than willing to give the Ron Howard film a chance.

The official synopsis for SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY:
