As an adolescent, Han and his girlfriend, Qi'ra ( Emilia Clarke), are separated as they attempt to escape a crime boss he's able to leave, but she's captured. SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY takes place approximately a decade before the events of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and follows a young Han ( Alden Ehrenreich) as he goes from troublemaking street orphan on his home planet of Corellia to Imperial soldier to intergalactic-smuggler-in-the-making. And the cast is noticeably diverse, with many female characters, people of color, and creatures who have distinct backgrounds and ideas.
SOLO A STAR WARS STORY MOVIE
Han definitely isn't always first in line to make the morally right choice, but ultimately the movie has messages about equal rights for all creatures and the importance of teamwork, communication, courage, and friendship.

There's also a bit of language, some drinking in pubs, and innuendo (plus more kissing than is typical for a Star Wars film). While there's not much blood overall, characters do die. Expect lots of peril, chases, and action violence, including scenes of large-scale ground warfare as well as executions, shoot-outs, and torture. The movie reveals details about the infamous smuggler's past - like how he became the captain of the Millennium Falcon and how he met legendary characters like Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) and Lando Calrissian ( Donald Glover). Parents need to know that Solo: A Star Wars Story is a stand-alone adventure about a young Han Solo ( Alden Ehrenreich) that takes place several years before he teams up with Luke and Leia in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
