Germain Lussier, writing over at io9, takes a look at the extras on the Home Video release of Solo: A Star Wars Story, focusing on the increasingly interactive jumps to hyperspace which clearly excited the cast.
One of my favorite moments in Solo: A Star Wars Story is when Han first experiences hyperspace. As Lando and L3 make the jump, the camera moves to the side of Han’s face and he’s just elated. We, the audience, are just as excited—we know where this character will go, and how important this moment is to him.
What makes that moment even sweeter is it’s likely genuine. On Solo, the production team built high-quality screens around the cockpit of the Falcon so that the actors could really feel like they were jumping to hyperspace. When we see actor Alden Ehrenreich react, that’s not all acting.
The film arrives on digital September 14th in the States, 17th in the UK and on blu-ray, DVD, 4K and 3D in the UK on the 24th and the States on the 25th.
