Empire has posted an image of the cover that has been selected for the newsstand edition of their upcoming issue covering Solo: A Star Wars Story. It features titular lead Han Solo and the mighty Chewbacca front & center. But wait, there’s more. This June 2018 issue also comes packaged with a special Han Solo encyclopedia (and poster) that chronicles the smuggler’s history.
Yesterday Empire shared a few photos from the issue focusing on Han and Dryden Vos and last week they revealed the artwork for their Solo subscriber cover.
Click the supplied images below for a closer look at both magazine covers.
Inside the magazine is the complete story of the character’s comeback, from director Ron Howard’s thoughts on taking the reins after Phil Lord and Chris Miller left the production, to fresh looks at Donald Glover’s Lando Calrissian and Paul Bettany’s slick gangster Dryden Vos, and Joonas Suotamo on stepping into Peter Mayhew’s giant Chewie shoes.
If that wasn’t enough Star Wars for you, the issue comes with a bonus magazine: the Han Solo Encyclopedia — a definitive A-Z (that’s Alderaan to Zuckuss, via Endor, Greedo, and Jabba) of a galaxy far, far away, filtered through the lens of Han’s adventures. Oh, and as well as the encyclopedia, the magazine includes a fold-out poster depicting the Falcon flying through a glorious pink-hued sky.
