The hotly anticipated Star Wars universe spin-off/prequel Solo: A Star Wars Story had its most splashy debut on the world cinema stage earlier today with a gala screening at the Cannes Film Festival, but director Ron Howard and cast members Alden Ehrenreich (Han Solo), Donald Glover (Lando Calrissian), Emilia Clarke (Qi'ra), Woody Harrelson (Tobias Beckett), Thandie Newton (Val), Joonas Suotamo (Chewbacca), Paul Bettany (Dryden Vos), and Phoebe Waller-Bridge (L3-37); and screenwriters Lawrence Kasdan and Jonathan Kasdan first faced the international media this past weekend at the Pasadena Convention Center, site of the film's global press conference. Below is complete video of the entire spirited event, as cast and crew candidly shared their reflections on the film's production and their thoughts on the ageless and ever-expanding long ago galaxy far, far away.
Solo: A Star Wars Story opens on Friday, May 25, with special preview showings the evening of Thursday, May 24, in cinemas nationwide from Walt Disney Studios.
