Star Wars: Solo Full Trailer - 8 Major Plot Reveals
6. Beckett's Mission
Taking on the role of Han's mentor - one that may or may not be close to the EU's Shrike - is Woody Harrelson, going by the name Tobias Beckett. Harrelson's a great pick for the role, and should play well as the man who teaches Han the ropes in rather unscrupulous fashion.
In typical non-evil crime boss fashion, he's putting together a team. A team that he wants Han to be a part of, and one that also includes Lando, Qi'ra, Val (the character played by Thandie Newton), the droid L3-37, and a multi-limbed monkey alien.
There aren't many clues as to what the mission is, especially with the movie taking place over such a long period of time, but there are some potential options. One is that he wants to attempt the Kessel Run, although the canon version of events is that's what Han does in an effort to pay off his debts to Jabba. It could be that he has a plan to steal from Jabba himself, with the crime lord previously rumoured to be appearing in the movie.
There's definitely a heist vibe to this trailer, so the assumption is that he's got a plan to steal something - and probably have a run in with the Empire while he's at it, which could fit with the theory of them going undercover - but in terms of more concrete details, it looks like this is what brings together a number of the key players.
