<Ul> <Li> Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo : A cynical smuggler who is a part of Beckett 's crew . When asked how Solo differs from the Solo of latter Star Wars films , Ehrenreich stated , `` I think the main thing that 's different is that the Han we meet in this film is more of an idealist . He has certain dreams that he follows , and we watch how it affects him as those dreams meet new realities -- realities that are harder and more challenging than he 'd expected . '' Harrison Ford , who previously portrayed the character in the original and sequel trilogy saga films , met with Ehrenreich , giving him some insight and words of advice . </Li> <Li> Woody Harrelson as Tobias Beckett : A criminal and Han 's mentor . The character of Beckett was based on Long John Silver from Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson . </Li> <Li> Emilia Clarke as Qi'ra : Han 's former lover . Describing her character , Clarke said : `` She has a couple of guises , but essentially she is just fighting to stay alive . If you 've got a really glamorous lady in a really sordid environment , you kind of know the glamor is hiding a few rough roads . '' With regard to her character 's relationship with Solo , Clarke offered that `` They grew up as comrades , essentially . They grew up as pals , as partners in crime . There is obviously the romantic side of things . But they grew up together . So they were kids together .
