We've finally got our first actual look at Solo: A Star Wars Story, a prequel that will focus on the exploits of a younger Han Solo, before the events of the original trilogy.
We’ve known for some time that the Kessel spice mines will play a role in the movie (Ron Howard himself has confirmed this), but after seeing the trailer, we have some clues that more than a little inspiration has been taken from the old Expanded Universe.
As a quick refresher, the Expanded Universe (or EU) was the previous Star Wars continuity that included the novels, comics, games, and other stories published before the property was sold to Disney. After that acquisition, Disney de-canonized almost all of that material (it’s still available, but under the “Legends” umbrella now), paving the way for the timeline we’re seeing developed with the sequel trilogy, the new Marvel comics, Battlefront II, and other post-Disney material.
