Lego sets have a way accidentally spoiling things for major movie releases, and the Han Solo movie is no exception.
If you’re in charge of a big blockbuster film, chances are there’s going to be merchandise crossover. Specifically, Lego has sets for just about every tentpole franchise film that hits theaters, with Star Wars being one of its biggest properties.
Already we’ve seen Lego leaks for The Last Jedi, which comes out in December. The next Star Wars flick that isn’t set to hit theaters until May 2018, but it’s never too early for Lego leaks to start spoiling things.
The Han Solo movie has been working with a few titles during its tumultuous production. Despite the rumors, it sounds like we might actually have a title to settle on — thanks to Lego.
A recent Lego catalog entry revealed that the title of the film is Han Solo: A Star Wars Story. The catalog is a leak so we’re not going to post it here but you can check it out on the other side of this link.
There are a few things that stick out as mildly fishy here. The first of which is that the font it wonky and not in the traditional Star Wars set. It’s more Stranger Things than anything and will likely (see: hopefully) change before the marketing picks up.
Let’s not discount the fact that the font not being correct could indicate that the title isn’t what it will be. It’s not like Lucasfilm and Disney crossed all their t’s and dotted the i’s with this catalog entry, and it one thing can change so can everything other than the product shown. The title, for what it’s worth, feels like it won’t change.
The title, for what it’s worth, feels like it won’t change. These stand alone titles aren’t historically complicated, unlike the saga films. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is simple, as is Han Solo. The addition of A Star Wars Story also seems to hammer home the idea that the title is going to stick.
To further stir the pot, the font — although not Star Wars-y — is in the stylings of some Return of the Jedi era artwork, so take that with a grain of salt.

Either way, Lego has a way of spoiling or at least tipping our hands to what the future holds as far as a film is concerned. Han Solo is still more than half a year away but it’s never too early to start peeking through the blinds at what is behind the Star Wars curtain.
