The new Han Solo-centered Star Wars film just got punched into hyperdrive.

Star Wars released the first few details about the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story film, which will chronicle the early years of Han Solo.

Heres the first synopsis weve received.

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 sagas most unlikely heroes.

For now, thats all we know about the film.

The film stars Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo and Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, with Hollywood stars Woody Harrelson (2012), Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) and Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) also in the cast.

Rumors have surfaced about the films cast for a few months now. A cast photo dropped back in February 2017, giving us our first glimpse of the characters.

Another image dropped back in December, which many people thought was a poster for the film. Lucasfilm later said the image was fake.

Solo releases on May 25, 2018.
