SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Character & Vehicle Descriptions Provide New Details On Han's Criminal Crewmates
Lucasfilm has now officially released some descriptions for several members of Han's "criminal family", and they give us a much better idea of what to expect from these debuting Star Wars characters...
We've learned a few minor details about the new supporting characters we'll be meeting in Solo: A Star Wars Story and managed to piece together a few more from the various marketing material, but Lucasfilm has now officially released some descriptions for the members of Han's crew we aren't already familiar with from previous movies.
SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Topps Trading Cards Provide New Looks At The Film's Main Heroes And Villains
The breakdowns are brief, but they do reveal some new things about Becket, Val, Qi-Ra and Rio Durant, while confirming a few others. There's nothing on the villains, unfortunately.
Check 'em out below along with some new - and one very familiar - vehicle descriptions, and be sure to let us know what you think in the usual place.

Tobias Beckett
Beckett is a survivor, always quietly working out angles to come out ahead. He's assembled a team of specialized scoundrels to carry out risky but profitable heists.
Qi'Ra
At 18 years of age, young Qi'ra is already enmmeshed in a life of crime, working for a gang on Corellia
Val
A no-nonsense and occasionally prickly woman who is a crack shot with a blaster rifle, Val may be the most even-headed and capable member of Tobias Beckett's ragtag crew of scoundrels.
Rio Durant
Rio Durant has carried out dangerous operations alongside scoundrel Tobias Beckett for years. The good-natured Ardennian pilot is up for any challenge.
L3-37
A "self-made droid" built from astromech and protocol parts, L3-37 is an enlightened navigator who cares deeply about droid rights.
Corellian M-68 Landspeeder
Han Solo is cagey about where he scored this overpowered M-68 landspeeder, saying little beyond that its previous owner no longer had a need for it.
Imperial Heavy TIE Fighter
Compensating for the relative fragility of the unshielded TIE starfighter is the armored TIE/rb, a reinforced heavy starfighter with much more powerful laser cannons.
Imperial Conveyex Transport
For rapid transport of special cargo across surface distances on frontier worlds, the Empire uses heavily armored conveyex vehicles that travel along rails winding through treacherous terrain.
Millennium Falcon
Despite her humble origins and shabby exterior, the Millennium Falcon has played a role in some of the greatest victories of the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic. The Falcon looks like a worn-out junker, but beneath her hull she’s full of surprises. A succession of owners, from Lando Calrissian and Han Solo to Gannis Ducain, have made special modifications that boosted the freighter’s speed, shielding and firepower to impressive – and downright illegal – levels.
The price of such tinkering? The Falcon can be unpredictable, with her hyperdrive particularly balky. Despite her flaws, she’s beloved by her owners – Han Solo and Chewbacca have spent years searching the galaxy for the ship they once called home.
