I have a good feeling about this.

It begins with something unusual for aStar Warsfilm the riff of an electric guitar.

We see Corellia, Han Solos industrial home world, and the shipyards that are constructing Imperial Star Destroyers.

The May 25 film, from director Ron Howard, has some heavy lifting to do.

Beckett tells the young Solo that once he chooses this life of crime, he cant go back.

That, as we know, turns out to be wrong, too.

ButSoloseems to relish its wrongness.

Solo even delivers a backwards twist on a familiar line: Ive got a reallygoodfeeling about this!

Were also seeing just glimpses of pasts we never imagined.

Who is the furry love-interest that Chewbacca embraces?

And what became of that relationship?

The best laid plans of Wookiees and men oft oft go astray.
