The synopsis for the upcoming Han Solo Star Wars spin-off, titled Solo: A Star Wars Story, has been released just a little over four months prior to the date that the movie will hit theaters. According to Lucasfilm Inc. the picture will take place several years prior to Han meeting Luke and Obi-Wan. Of course, the details can be accurately described as "non-specific":

Solo: A Star Wars Story will star Alden Ehrenreich as a young version of the film's title character, and will also feature Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover (as Lando), plus Chewbacca. Additionally it will be directed by Ron Howard after the previous directors quit over "creative differences." While we haven't even seen a trailer yet, Howard did confirm that they wrapped production on the movie last October.

Look for Solo in theaters on May 25.
