The latest trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story had Alden Ehrenreich’s young smuggler confidently proclaim “I have a really good feeling about this” — but that was before he found himself hanging off the side of a high-speed train on the snow-battered planet of Vandor. And that’s exactly where Han Solo find himself in this exclusive image from the film, as seen in the forthcoming issue of Empire.
The sequence has been teased in the trailers for the latest non-Skywalker entry in the Star Wars universe, and promises a different kind of action to the usual epic battles and lightsaber duels. “Part of the challenge is to come up with new, inventive kinds of action we haven’t seen in Star Wars,” Solo co-writer Jonathan Kasdan told Empire. “We often referenced Heat and Thief as high-end criminals doing serious jobs that involve huns and big hijackings.”
