FRIDAY, AUGUST 9TH AT SUNDOWN

Solo: A Star Wars Story
This fast and fun film from 2018 introduces crowds to a young Han Solo years before his adventures with Luke Skywalker and company. Ron Howard directs the story of Han finding adventure when he joins forces with a gang of galactic smugglers and a 190-year-old Wookie named Chewbacca. Indebted to the gangster Dryden Vos, the crew devises a daring plan to travel to the mining planet Kessel to steal a batch of valuable coaxium. In need of a fast ship, Solo meets Lando Calrissian, the suave owner of the perfect vessel for the dangerous mission -- the Millennium Falcon. The film stars Alden Ehrenreich, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, and Woody Harrelson.
