The film hits cinemas in less than five months and still nothing official has been released, until now.
It’s not quite a trailer or images, but Lucasfilm’s official synopsis for the Han Solo spin-off, Solo: A Star Wars Story.
It reads: “Board the Millennium Falcon and journey to a galaxy far, far away in Solo: A Star Wars Story, an all-new adventure with the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy.
“Through a series of daring escapades deep within a dark and dangerous criminal underworld, Han Solo meets his mighty future copilot Chewbacca and encounters the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian, in a journey that will set the course of one of the Star Wars saga’s most unlikely heroes.”

To be fair this is what was expected, an origin story of the smuggler’s dodgy days before teaming up with the Resistance in Episode IV: A New Hope.
So with the synopsis being released surely a trailer for the Han Solo prequel will be hitting the internet soon?
Well a rumour last week said it was due to air on January 12 and then Monday, but those came and went.

On his YouTube channel, he said: “The trailer was supposed to come out on a date which was delayed due to pick-up shots. These will involve two characters – Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, portrayed by Donald Glover.
“These will be done on a studio and not on location. This is the main reason why the trailer is delayed.”
Solo: A Star Wars Story is released in UK cinemas on May 25, 2018.
