Solo, the spin-off film from the billion dollar and pop culture legendary franchise Star Wars will hit theatres across the globe on Friday, May 25th. The stand-alone movie follows the events that take place before the first Star Wars installment, A New Hope. The film will focus on the series most defiant and brash con artist and smuggler, Han Solo. In the original films, Solo is portrayed by Harrison Ford, who was reading lines for other actors when he was abruptly cast for the role by George Lucas.
Throughout the course of the Star Wars story, Solo acts as the second owner of the Millennium Falcon, having won it from then friend and fellow smuggler Lando Calrissian. Solo pilots the ship and reluctantly becomes a key player in the Rebel Alliance’s battle against the evil Galactic Empire. While attempting to transport Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO and R2-D2 from Tatooine to Alderaan, Solo runs into his future wife, Princess Leia Organa, and adds her to the list of passengers he must deliver to safety with the Rebel Alliance. Solo was an iconic character throughout the franchise films in the 80s and the character also appeared in his own spinoff novels and comics. Since the tragedy of The Force Awakens (spoiler), viewers believed they had seen the last of Mr. Solo. But, no one is ever truly gone in the infinite annals of cinema. Read over these wonderful memes and get yourself pumped for Solo next Friday!

The act of even owning a mask says something about Ren too, as he doesn’t need one like his Sith Grandfather. But, a mask in film and literature signifies more of what it’s directly intended to do, conceal both visual and emotional truths. Snoke sees through him, as does the viewer. He uses the act of ridding his father from this galaxy to convince not only Snoke, but himself that he is dedicated and unwavering toward the dark side. But, not until he shows an inclination of vulnerability toward his dear old Dad, who swiftly uses it as an opportunity to sneak in one of his much-anticipated Dad jokes. At least he was able to get a few out before his plummet!
