Days after the first trailer for “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” Han and Chewbacca have landed on the cover of Entertainment Weekly.

Alden Ehrenreich (Han Solo) and Joonas Suotamo (Chewbacca) are featured in the cover story, which gives more detail about the upcoming “Star Wars” spinoff. “He might be a little more immature, he may be a little less experienced, and he may hone his cynicism over time, but he’s very wary,” says Kathleen Kennedy, Lucasfilm president. “He needs to gain the respect of the people he interacts with, even if they’re the lowest of the low.”

Some mild spoilers from the story: During the film, Han befriends Chewie, falls for Qi’ra (Emilia Clarke), and meets Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover) and his droid sidekick L3-37 (Phoebe Waller-Bridge). Han also faces more accomplished criminals Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson) and Val (Thandie Newton), and crime boss Dryden Vos (Paul Bettany).
