Ron Howard is at the helm of piloting the ship that is the upcoming Han Solo movie after the original directors were fired. Last month, Howard shared his first photo from the highly anticipated “Star Wars” spinoff and people were expecting an insightful image from the set that would give them a clue about the movie. Narrator: It was not insightful.

But on Tuesday, Howard made it up to “Star Wars” fans with a more interesting photo. This time instead of a case of water, he revealed a shot of Donald Glover dressed as Lando Calrissian in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon. The legendary starship was actually owned by Lando before Han Solo, after he won the starship in a game of sabacc, which is a card game. But Calrissian lost the modified freighter ship in another game of sabacc to Han Solo. Easy come, easy go.

Here’s a closer peek.

Howard also showed off some of the costumes that Lando will be wearing in the upcoming Han Solo flick. It’s very cape-centric, and what all the stylish Baron Administrators of Cloud City will be wearing this Fall.

Two weeks ago, we saw some leaked video and photos from the set that showed actor Alden Ehrenreich as a young Han Solo as well as Woody Harrelson as Solo’s mentor Beckett. We even get to see young Chewbacca. And maybe even Emilia Clarke. The “Star Wars” spinoff will also star Thandie Newton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Michael Kenneth Williams. Despite the huge director shakeup, the Han Solo movie still has a release date of May 25, 2018.
