LEARN HOW TWO FANS BUILT THE OUTLAW’S INTRICATE COSTUME BEFORE SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY WAS EVEN IN THEATERS.
Most Impressive Fans is a feature highlighting the amazing creativity of Star Wars devotees, from cosplay to props. If there’s a fearless and inventive fan out there, we’ll highlight them here.
The trouble with creating a screen-accurate costume before the character it’s fashioned after debuts on screen is that crafting the smallest details can be left up to educated guess.
Earlier this year, cosplayers Maryon Ban and Geoffrey Masson were so taken by the look of Enfys Nest, the mysterious leader of the Cloud-Rider gang in Solo: A Star Wars Story, that they recreated the costume from scratch in their home in the south of France ahead of the film’s premiere.

Solo Kept Budget Down By Reusing Force Awakens’ Millennium Falcon

Via Screenrant.com:
Solo: A Star Wars Story kept its budget down by reusing the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Although the spaceship looks a little different in Solo, it’s still the same ship from Episode VII.
Solo: A Star Wars Story released earlier this year. The film covered the early years of iconic Star Wars character Han Solo, showing how he and Chewbacca first met, as well as how Han came into possession of the Millennium Falcon (and yes, technically, he did win it in a game of sabacc). Although the film isn’t part of the new trilogy and serves as Han Solo’s backstory, it still had an incredibly big budget, one of the largest in the Star Wars franchise. The film cost over $250 million, making it the most expensive Star Wars movie to date.
That meant that producers needed to save as much money as possible. So when it came to recreating a newer version of the Millennium Falcon for Solo, the art directors were savvy enough to reuse the same Millennium Falcon from The Force Awakens. On the Solo Blu-ray special feature “Remaking The Millennium Falcon,” supervising art director Alastair Bullock said: “This is the original, well, not the ‘original’ original Falcon. But it was the Falcon set that we built on Episode VII.” Although the Millennium Falcon in Solo looks a bit different, Assistant Art Director Liam Georgensen assured fans that this was, in fact, the same set used for The Force Awakens.

WHO’S SCRUFFY LOOKIN’? STARWARS.COM TAKES A DEEPER LOOK AT THE MANY VISIONS OF A SCOUNDREL AND HIS LOYAL COPILOT.
The look of Star Wars is unlike anything else in popular culture. Step back in time to explore the history and philosophy behind the concepts that define the galaxy far, far away in Designing Star Wars.
Before Han Solo became a simple smuggler, whose rugged uniform and ever-present blaster spoke to the bare necessities of a life on the run from decorum, he was envisioned as a refined space pirate with a glowing lightsaber. His companion, the mighty Chewbacca, now a walking carpet covered with voluminous and usually impeccably-styled fur, began life as a less-cuddly, pointy-eared creature with a toothy, gaping maw.
Together, they morphed into one of the most beloved and charismatic pairings in Star Wars, with the kind of partnership that lasts for years because its based on loyalty, trust, and friendship. Since we first met them inside the Mos Eisley cantina in A New Hope, they’ve continued to grow and change. They stopped fighting just for their own lives and joined the Rebel cause. Their found family expanded to include a princess and a farm boy looking for adventure.
And while the character of Han met his end in The Force Awakens, storytellers weren’t finished with him yet. In preparation for Solo: A Star Wars Story, creators returned to some of Han’s earliest iterations and figured out how to reverse engineer all new concepts that would tell the story of Han’s youth on Corellia while still making sense of the scoundrel he would become.

How Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Droid Got Revenge on Han
on September 16, 2018 at 5:00 pmPosted In: News
Via Vanityfair.com:
Though the cast of Solo: A Star Wars Story was packed to the brim with acting talent, perhaps the most exciting addition was Fleabag star and creator and Killing Eve show-runner Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who played L3-37, Lando Calrissian’s acerbic droid partner in crime. Two new behind-the-scenes clips from the film’s home-video release—it’s available September 14 on digital H.D. and September 25 on Blu-ray—reveal the unusual way L3 came together, while Waller-Bridge told Vanity Fair how her character sneakily took revenge on Han Solo.
In the video above, Lando actor Donald Glover speaks warmly of working with Waller-Bridge. As she explains, the two of them together decided that the mustachioed scoundrel and the lanky droid would have a “romance with a capital R.” Solo screenwriter Jonathan Kasdan was so taken with how Glover and Waller-Bridge expanded on the relationship that, late in the process, he added a scene between L3-37 and Emilia Clarke’s Qi’ra, featuring the rare Star Wars sight of two female characters talking alone together. The subject of their chat—their respective romantic feelings for Lando and Han—doesn’t exactly pass the Bechdel test, but it’s some small progress. Lando’s attachment to L3 is so strong that when she dies in a robot uprising, he implants her consciousness in his ship, so they can be together forever.
That brings a new dimension to the original Star Wars trilogy: all the times characters talk to and about the Falcon, they’re actually referring to L3. Original Solo directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were so excited about this concept when they first phoned Waller-Bridge about the role that they were “gabbling,” she said in an interview. The actress responded in confusion: “What? I don’t understand. I’m the ship?! I’m the what?!” Lucasfilm cheekily confirmed the connection with a “MilL3nnium Falcon” tweet.
