In pictures: The Art of Solo
- Published
The new Star Wars film, Solo: A Star Wars Story, has just arrived in the UK and a book explores how the characters and sets took shape. The film tells the story of the early years of the sci-fi saga's Han Solo, played by Harrison Ford in the original films.
The droid in the new film is called L3-37 and is played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who has received praise for her work following the film's first showing in the US.
The production's concept art and sketches, storyboards and matte paintings include keyframe drawings like this one, which shows Han Solo with Chewbacca.
There is also more detailed artwork, such as this image of the streets of Deadwood. The film, directed by Ron Howard after the original directors left mid-production, sees Solo beginning his pilot training and seeking a spaceship of his own.
The Art of Solo: A Star Wars Story by Phil Szostak and Lucasfilm is published by Abrams Books.
