Description: 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' is out in May, and the new trailer focuses on the basic plot — which is not just a "young Han Solo" prequel, but a heist movie.

It's a Star Wars heist movie. Just fly casual.

We've got a good feeling about this -- or at least, Han Solo does.

You may have forgotten that Solo: A Star Wars Story is out next month, since Disney and Lucasfilm haven't done all that much marketing for the spin-off film since its first trailer dropped after the Super Bowl in February.

But that changed Sunday, when a new Solo trailer arrived during American Idol on Disney-owned ABC.

The trailer focuses on the basic plot of the film -- which is not just a "young Han Solo" prequel, but a heist movie, evidently. We see such moments as Han (Alden Ehrenreich)'s first meeting with Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover), and his discovery that Chewbacca is a 190-year-old Wookiee who can pilot a spaceship just fine, thank you very much.

Solo hits theaters May 25, 2018, also known as Star Wars' 41st birthday.
