The drama surroundingSolo : A Star Wars Storymay be over , but it ’s not too later for the brain behind theStar Warscomic book to make another pernicious defense ofyoung Han Solo role player Alden Ehrenreich .
At least , that for sure seems to be the case inStar Wars # 62 , when Luke Skywalker , Han Solo , and Leia Organa take a breakout from their heated war against the Empire to take in a bit of theatre of operations . It ’s there that they learn just how fickle an consultation can be , now that theStar Warsheroes have look their roles in the dramatized variation of the Rebellion recast with life , breathing actors . The part of Luke Skywalker is fiddle to beau ideal … but would n’t you know it , it’sHan Solowho takes elision to the player give his part .
A small backstory will facilitate outStar Warsfans who are n’t keeping up with the comic books , since the loss leader of this theater company love Luke , Han , and Leia personally . The shape - shifting actor Tunga was previously recruited by the Rebels to masquerade as an Imperial Governor , leading to thebetter - than - the - movies Battle of Mon Cala . As matter # 62 reveals , the valor of the Rebels is prove to have made such a mark , Tunga has taken the history to the stage . With some … notable differences .
It ’s a delightful act of ‘ meta ’ storytelling from author Kieron Gillen , suggesting that the exploits and torpedo of the Rebellion were being retold , reenacted , and apparently re - think even as they were taking place . It was that kind of unwritten storytelling thatbroughtStar Wars : The Last Jedito a close , as small children acted out honest-to-god Luke Skywalker ’s point of view against the First Order . Granted , those children seem to have taken fewer liberty than Tunga and his traveling actor , adjudicate by the starting role : the Jedi Knight , Luc Swordswinger .
Changes to the historical facts aside , we know that Tunga is performing for the correct reason , risking charges of treason by highlighting and spreading tales of the Rebellion ’s victory over the Galactic Empire . And with the ability to transfer his appearing to equal Luke Skywalker identically , this would in reality be the closest many citizen ever acquire to the frontline of the war .
But Han Solo is less than pleased when he notes the appearance and name of the play ’s rascally smuggler - turned - rebel,‘Ham Nogo . ’Which is where Tunga defend his Colorado - star , in a fashion that will experience familiar to guardian ofSolo : A Star Wars Story ’s own controversial cast .
It ’s Tunga ’s argument that the actorplaying Han Solo is about more thanlooking likethe original version , but more importantly"captures his rascally spirit . “A not so subtle nod to the real Earth debate and literary criticism border Solo ’s selection of leading man ( considering how many young Han Solo fan - castings focused on show , including campaign to havea YouTube imitator lead the blockbuster moving picture ) . But what makes this comic ’s substance even clear is artist Andrea Broccardo ’s decision to dress Han inthe exact same outfitworn by Alden Ehrenreich inSolo : A Star Wars Story , as opposed to his common moving-picture show - accurate navy vest or jacket .
The funny team ’s Department of Defense ( fork out through Tunga ) should n’t be all that controversial , consideringHarrison Ford approved of Ehrenreichand his operation , for largely the same reason Tunga fend for his own lad histrion . And whether or not Gillen and Broccardo admit it , it seems that the vernal Han Solo has a few more supporters fromStar Warsstorytellers .
