While Game of Thrones fans await Emilia Clarke’s return as Daenerys Targaryen in the eighth and final season of their favorite show, the Mother of Dragons has a little side project hitting theaters in May: Solo: A Star Wars Story. Disney/Lucasfilm dropped an all-new trailer for the film on Sunday, and Clarke most definitely stands out. Watch it below:
Clarke plays a character named Qi’ra, the female lead for the movie. She kicks off the trailer with a narration, talking to Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich). “You’re after something. Is it revenge? Money? Or is it something else?”
“You look good. A little rough around the edges, but good.” Qi’ra and Han grew up together, and it’s clear there’s some attraction between the two, but it’s unclear how far it will go, particularly since since Han and Leia are the only Star Wars couple fans are willing to ship.
Clarke pops up again at the 0:54 mark when she’s asked if she has “a line on a ship.” Yes, she knows a guy: Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover) and the Millennium Falcon.
There’s also a shot of Clarke’s character exiting the Falcon rocking a red cape not unlike something you’d see on Game of Thrones, right after underworld figure Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson) tells Han to “assume everyone will betray you.” So there’s that to consider.
There are a couple of neat nuggets for Star Wars nerds in there, like when Han says “I’ve got a really good feeling about this” at 1:34. You’ll find that line plastered throughout the Star Wars movies. It’s like, “I wish you good fortune in the wars to come,” but less specific.
Also, Chewbacca’s age revealed: “190 years old? You look great!”
Solo: A Star Wars Story hits theaters on May 25.
