Madmonk Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The first official footage of the new Han Solo film was released during Superbowl LII yesterday with a full trailer out later today. Seems to be okay. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Moore Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Very much looking forward to it. Hopefully Bandai will give us at least a box-scale version of the new (old) Falcon Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterpartyhat Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 They've gone straight back to McQuarrie for the exterior of the Falcon (at least for some of it). Check out the docking rings from the original Docking Bay 94 painting: And and the docking rings on this shot of Qi'ra exiting the Falcon (in Targaryen colors ): I can't wait to see Bandai tackle that. I hope we get a 1:144 version at least. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Can’t wait. I’ll be going with MH Jnr who is shall we say, ultra nerdish to the nth degree about Star Wars and all the backstory stuff (he’s still annoyed that Disney have ‘de canonised’ a lot of the peripheral stories).

Caerbannog Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 The trailer looks promissing, but the Lego Falcon... The one-piece mandible i snot my taste. Also strange is the ESB like landing gear and all the blue areas. I can understand that the Falcon lost those covers and added lots of grime, but it surely does not look much as if Solo cared about a repaint at any time. Ok - it is just a movie... ;-) Btw.: There is another thread of the Solo Teaser running here: Edit: The Lego version looks not much like what is seen in the other trailer. Here the Falcon reminds me on the Y-Wing with covers. Actually the Falcon looks quite cool: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Before it was known as the Falcon SW folklore has it down as the Stellar Envoy which had a blue scheme and I don't see Lando having it as a freighter, more likely a leisure craft!!

Misrule Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 So when Lando shows up in Empire Strikes Back and yells 'What did you do to my ship!?' I guess he's got a good reason to be angry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bradley Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 They missed a trick - the release date should have been three weeks earlier...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumblestripe Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I notice that in the interior shots, the controls for the Falcon look entirely different (lots of chrome switches and levers), there is a different Tie Fighter. Laser canons mounted in port side bulge. Slightly better image And you can see "The Falcon" with single mandible too and here... Hope it's fun. Not convinced the actor playing Young Han looks anything like Harrison Ford but at least they haven't been tempted down the dark path of CGI characters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Revell has three new kits (more for kids ...) on theri webpage from the Solo spin off: https://www.revell.de/produkte/star-wars/star-wars-solo.html The kits are: Falcon with covers all over ("single mandible" which seems to be something removable according to the Revell page/kit - and such) Imperial Patrol Speeders and Han's Speeder (powered by two lawn mover engines???) I hate saying so but it is either what Revell did of it or because of the film design of the later Star Wars movies which I find "lacking". I think the Falcon in the teaser looks quite nice, so I hope it is again Revells interpretation - mind you: They are all "Level 1" kits... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Both sets of speeders are a bit uninspiring, both look like they have been designed round matchboxes! The Falcon does look good, there has been some debate about the plug between the mandibles but if you look at the Revell site there is an exploded view which shows the ends of the mandibles as we know them and an add in part to fill in the space and extend the mandibles. I wonder if Bandai will issue any kits, I'm not holding out as their catalogue from the Last Jedi was poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Last Jedi - frankly not one ship design springs to my mind which I would care about enough to buy a Bandai kit of it. Maybe that is the reason Bandai did not flood the shelves with new SW kits. I am not complaining as this maybe gave them space to bring out the B-Wing this year. Oh-o...

TheVoidDragon Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) The Falcon doesn't look too bad with those changes, but i think every other vehicle/ship design i've seen for the new movie looks absolutely terrible so far. It either looks like it doesn't belong in Star Wars or fit in with the previous designs (The new Imperial Cruiser), it's just uninspired (Han's speeder, an extra wide TIE fighter) or both (The Imperial Speederbike). It even extends to the non-vehicles, like the range trooper is a wierd combination of things and Han doesn't look like Han.
