Disney and Lucasfilm have finally given us our first look at what a non-Harrison-Ford Han Solo will look like in the new Han Solo movie, called Solo: A Star Wars Story.

The trailer follows the short teaser spot which aired during Sunday's Super Bowl and gives us our first look at any substantial footage since Ron Howard took over from original directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller with a fairly extensive list of reshoots and reworks. Some reports say that Howard re-shot as much as 80% of the film.

Regardless, with only 3 months until its theatrical release, the trailer is finally here and we get new footage from the film which is the second installment in the Star Wars anthology series and will be set before Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977). It will focus on Han Solo's early years where we learn of the young pilot's backstory: that he was raised by space gypsies and he never knew who his real family was.

Solo: A Star Wars Story stars Emilia Clarke, Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson, and Paul Bettany. Donald Glover will star as a young Lando Calrissian and it is rumored that Thandie Newton has a role in the film as well.
