Officially Released SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Character Descriptions Reveal Spoilery New Details
Disney has released a new batch of character descriptions for Solo: A Star Wars Story, all of which reveal some surprising details about the movie, including what Han was up to before becoming a smuggler.
Solo: A Star Wars Story blasts into theaters in just under two weeks and with early word on the movie overwhelmingly positive, it's looking like Disney has another hit on its hands. Seeing as Star Wars: The Last Jedi came under fire from a lot of fans, it won't hurt the studio to now release a crowd-pleasing effort and it seems like this origin story for the beloved character will end up being exactly that.
Today, Disney has released a new batch of official character descriptions for the highly anticipated movie and almost all of them reveal new details about everyone from Han Solo to Dryden Vos.
One of the most interesting things here is that Han actually served in the Imperial as a Mudtrooper; it's previously been theorised that he dropped out/was fired from the Imperial Academy so this is something of a game-changer.

Han Solo - Alden Ehrenreich
For young Han Solo, times are tough under Imperial rule. He makes his way as a reckless street thief, working for a notorious gang on Corellia, which is headed up by an ill-tempered crime boss. After an arduous stint as an Imperial mudtrooper, Han calls it quits and finds that he is very comfortable reinventing himself and travelling in the company of scoundrels around the galaxy.
Beckett - Woody Harrelson

Qi'Ra - Emilia Clarke
