Disney And Lucasfilm Claim That Those SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Promo Images Aren't The Real Deal
Earlier today, some pretty awesome looking promo art for Solo: A Star Wars Story surfaced but Disney and Lucasfilm now claim that they're not the real deal after all. Hit the jump to find out what we know.
Well, this is disappointing! Following the apparent leak of a number of promo images for Solo: A Star Wars Story, it's now been revealed that those were, in fact, fake. We've been fooled by a number of fan-made images over the years but these were arguably the best yet and pretty much every site out there has shared them today. It's just a shame this late Christmas present wasn't exactly the real deal.
According to Screen Rant, "We have been informed by Disney/Lucasfilm that this Solo artwork is not official." While it's possible the studio is trying to cover up the fact that our first look at Solo came via a leak, it would be foolish of them to do that now and for this to reappear online in a month or two.
Solo is now just five months away from being released and we've seen not so much as a single official image after all those reshoots which followed the firing of Phil Lord and Chris Miller. As a result, many fans believe it will be delayed until December as that would give the studio the time needed to mount a proper marketing campaign and ensure it doesn't wind up being a disaster. What do you guys think?
