Star Wars: The Saga Continues

CinemaCon is currently going on right now in Las Vegas, and earlier today Disney had their presentation where they showed a scene from “Solo: A Star Wars Story.” While I would have love to have been there to see it, thankfully those in attendance have provided some description of the footage that was shown, and revealed that it was the scene of the fateful Sabacc game between Han and Lando.

Here is a description of the scene from Deadline’s Anthony D’Alessandro who was in attendance to see it:

In the clip unveiled today during the Disney’s presentation to exhibitors, Emilia Clarke’s Qi’ra leads Han and Chewie into a cantina that’s in shambles situated on a snowy planet. She boasts about how Lando won his ship playing Sabaack, a card game, and Han is hardly threatened by that. Han then begins to beat Lando hand by hand until Lando wagers the Millennium Falcon. “I can take him, let me at him,” says Han. Donald Glover sounds precisely like Billy Dee Williams. “Everything you heard about me is true,” Lando tells Han while warning him, “You might want to quit while you’re ahead.” The clip goes to black before it’s revealed who wins (but we know who that is).

The scene shown also got some good twitter buzz, as Collider’s Steven Weintraub said it looked fantastic:

Disney showed a full scene from ‘Solo’ where Han and Lando meet for the first time and then trailer stuff. Looks fantastic. Buzz I’m hearing on the film is @RealRonHoward knocked it out of the park. #CinemaCon2018 pic.twitter.com/qqhwwvKovt

Definitely some cool and exciting stuff to hear about the film, especially now that we are only just a month away!
