A Brand New 'Star Wars' Planet Will Appear In 'Solo: A Star Wars Story'
That galaxy far, far away just keeps getting bigger.
A new planet will be introduced in Solo: A Star Wars Story, adding to the ever-growing list of Star Wars planets and moons. But this new planet is more than simply a reason for the Star Wars story group to whip out their wildest sci-fi planet names. The new Star Wars planet will play a pivotal part in the big train heist in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
The new Star Wars planet introduced in Solo is called Vandor, according to Making Star Wars.
We found out about Vandor's existence in a new Solo: A Star Wars Story book description, which confirms that Vandor is a major planet that will play an essential role in the plot of the latest Star Wars spin-off film. Here is the description, courtesy of Amazon:
Han Solo and Chewbacca the Wookiee must team-up for a daring train heist on the planet Vandor!
In the trailer, Vandor is the planet where we see a train flying going through the mountains on a course that looks dangerous enough for a big action scene. It seems to be a snowy, mountainous, and treacherous planet, but we have no other details about Vandor for now.
According to Making Star Wars, these are the locations included in the film:
It will be exciting to see a new Star Wars planet in Solo, even if it is yet another snow-covered one. Seriously, how many desert or snow-covered planets are there in this galaxy?
