Han Solo has a cold.
Then, at the last second, he came through.
Much like his onscreen anti-hero.
Jonathan Olley/Lucasfilm Ltd.
Heres a little insight into that question, from the man whos bringing the galactic reprobate back to life.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Ron describes Solo as a film noir/western.
That sound about right?ALDEN EHRENREICH:Something like that, yes.
Tell me your perspective on it.
He seems like someone who didnt have a lot of people who cared about him at a young age.
So he goes through life with shields up.Yeah, thats all basically right.
I know you had lunch with Harrison to talk things over.Hes great.
He is a real gentleman, too.
Tell them I told you everything you needed to know, and that you cant tell anyone.
Yeah, but … it’s possible for you to tellme.
He was very, very supportive.
And its just cool to have lunch with Harrison Ford.
[Note: EW has intel on Fords actual advice, coming later today.]
Lets talk about the other people in this characters life.
Qira, Emilia Clarkes character, is a big part of young Han Solos early years.
Hes got a big heart and is a great guy.
That brings us to Lando.
And I meet L3.
Are they … rivals?
As it is when you see them in the originals.
That would be their Facebook status.
I think they have very different styles.
But maybe arent too dissimilar in their personalities.
Obviously, we see him evolve.
Can you say what his dream is?
Can you explain independence?
So Hans dream involves making that happen for himself.
Seems like he is forever trying to get out from under someones thumb.
Does Jabba have thumbs?
[Laughs] Yeah, I think you could say that.
He is forever trying to do that.
Coming up: Harrison Ford actually contributed a lot to the making ofSolo…
