New UK Posters For SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Feature Chewbacca Taking Aim And A New Look For Qi'Ra
Another batch of Solo: A Star Wars Story posters have been released today and these put the focus on lead characters Han Solo, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, Tobias Beckett, and Qi'Ra. Check them out...
Before Disney decided to release Avengers: Infinity War in April, May was shaping up to be a stacked month featuring not only the Marvel Studios movie but Solo: A Star Wars Story and Deadpool 2 as well. We're still getting the latter two releases next month, of course, and Lucasfilm has now debuted a series of new character posters featuring a fresh look at the movie's leads and the Millennium Falcon.
It's also worth noting that Solo is being released a day earlier in the UK, something these posters proudly displays for fans on that side of the pond. Regardless, these are all very cool and feature Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich), Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo), Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover), Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson), and Qi'Ra (Emilia Clarke) striking a variety of poses and different costumes.

We may have seen Chewbacca in Revenge of the Sith but it's Solo which looks set to serve as his true origin story because we'll learn what led to the Wookie leaving Kashyyyk and deciding to pair up with Han Solo. It's even been said that this movie belongs just as much to Chewie as it does Han.
If anyone is going to steal the show in this movie, it's Donald Glover's Lando Calrissian. Not only does he look the part but the actor also sounds very much like Billy Dee Williams and it wouldn't be remotely surprising if fans are demanding a spinoff for him by the time all is said and done here.
We've seen Emilia Clarke's Qi'Ra in a variety of outfits in recent months but this one is definitely new and it's fair to say she looks awesome here. The blaster she's wielding points to Han's childhood friend being unafraid to get her hands dirty but where was she when the original trilogy was taking place?
Tobias Beckett is Han Solo's mentor and the one who inducts him into the life of a criminal. Many fans believe he'll end up betraying Han or dying in a moment which sets the youngster on the path to becoming the rebellious anti-hero we were first introduced to on Tatooine way back in A New Hope.
