Leave it to Star Wars to make you wait.

All hail the once and future king of Wakanda. Black Panther has now made Academy Awards history as the first superhero or comic book film nominated for Best Picture. And that’s not the only award the blockbuster Marvel film is gunning for at the 2019 Oscars.

Remember when we first saw images of the Millennium Falcon in Solo: A Star Wars Story? Everyone freaked out because it looked so different from the Falcon of the past.

But, of course, there was a plan in place for how that Falcon, owned by Lando Calrissian, would turn into the one we knew from when it was owned by Han Solo.

The Blu-ray release of Solo: A Star Wars Story may not have an alternate cut of Ron Howard’s film, but it does include eight deleted scenes that run about 15 minutes total, and most of them are really quite good.

So that’s what “having a mind of my own” meant.

Solo: A Star Wars Story has much more intriguing connections to Star Wars’ recent past beyond just telling the tale of a younger Han Solo. But the upcoming novelisation of the movie, just like other recent Star Wars adaptations, is adding more — including an intriguing wrinkle left unstated by the film.

As you might be surprised to hear, there's a bit of Star Wars drama going on right now (this franchise? Drama? Well I never!), with rumours swirling that a whole bunch of Star Wars spinoffs are allegedly on hold as Lucasfilm refocuses its future plans for the galaxy far, far away. So what do we actually know is on the way?

After the disappointing box office performance of Solo: A Star Wars Story, a new report says Lucasfilm has put all future Star Wars Story standalone movies on hold. That means, at least for now, no Boba Fett movie, no Obi-Wan movie, and no Solo spinoffs.

There's a new Star Wars out, have you seen it yet? It's more likely than ever that the answer is "no." Solo: A Star Wars Story, the origin tale of everyone's favourite stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder, has been struggling hard at the box office since its release.

Did everyone do their homework? Did you see Solo: A Star Wars Story yet? (Obviously, not everyone did.)

Either way, we have some lingering questions about the movie and how it affects the Star Wars universe. We have some educated guesses, but there are two dozen answers we'd very much like to get.

Reimagining one of the most iconic ships in all of pop culture is something of a daunting task, but that's what James Clyne, the design supervisor for Solo: A Star Wars Story, and his team had to do.

Solo: A Star Wars Story offers a shadier look into the period between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, removed from stories of the Rebellion vs. the Empire, and Jedi vs. Sith ... mostly. But if you've only kept up with the Star Wars movies, and not the entirety of the multimedia behemoth that the franchise has become, one of Solo's greatest surprises is likely also its most baffling. If you were confused, then here's what you need to know.

Solo: A Star Wars Story is in cinemas, in Lucasfilm's latest attempt at exploring the man behind the mythos, Han Solo. But it is not the first time the company has deeply explored the beloved smuggler, scoundrel and hero. It's done so before, in one of the greatest works of art in our modern times: Kinect Star Wars.

That's right. The droid; the myth; the cylindrical legend. IG-88 is back, and this time he's chasing Qi'ra, a new heroine introduced in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

There's a new Star Wars movie out! The Last Jedi might still feel fresh in your mind, but Solo: A Star Wars Story is in cinemas right now. Not been following all the news and reveals from the young Han Solo biopic? We've compiled all of the officially released info (no spoilers!) so you're fully prepped to visit the seedier side of a galaxy far, far away.

Disney has released a new preview featurette for Solo, and it's chock full of new footage, a lot of it very dark.

When Marvel first started its classic Star Wars comic in 1977, it was quickly faced with a challenging conundrum: how to tell tales in the Star Wars universe beyond the events of the movie. It's no surprise that the publisher turned to Han Solo for material, but what is surprising is just how bonkers its first original storyline would get.

We finally got another look at Solo: A Star Wars Story yesterday, and it gave us a much better idea of what we can expect from the movie after that first, cryptic trailer in February. Here's everything we learned about this early chapter in the life of Han Solo and his friends, both familiar and unfamiliar.

Got a couple of minutes to spare today? Here's the latest Solo: A Star Wars Story trailer.
