Becoming Solo.

We're less than a month away from Solo: A Star Wars Story, and now Lucasfilm have released a new featurette going behind-the-scenes on the movie.

Solo has had an infamously troubled production, so it's a good time to take a peek behind the curtain and show us that everything is actually shaping up quite nicely.

The featurette features interviews with the likes of director Ron Howard and stars Alden Ehrenreich, Emilia Clarke, and Donald Glover, who give us a few tidbits about what we can expect in the movie. Howard promises a completely different side to the galaxy than we've ever seen before, with the Empire in full control, while the actors tease getting to see how Han Solo becomes the Han Solo we know.

In terms of new footage, the video shows us a lot more of the game of Sabacc involving Han and Lando, which shows off a nice bit of chemistry between the pair, a battle sequence that is likely part of his time with the Empire, and there's Han deciding his new Wookiee companion needs a nickname. There's also a strange new fish-alien, because it just wouldn't be Star Wars without a weird creature or two.
