The trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story was great, but it just got a Beastie Boys-style makeover that took the trailer to the next level.
Star Wars fans were super excited to catch their first glimpses at the latest Star Wars film, Solo. The trailer had some amazing shots of a very clean-looking Millennium Falcon, glimpses of Alden Ehrenreich as our hero, Han Solo, and some truly badass shots of Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian.

And while it was a great trailer for a film that a lot of Star Wars fans are cautiously excited about, there was something ineffable missing from the trailer. Thanks to the team at the War Starts at Midnight Podcast, that missing piece was finally able to be added to the trailer: “Sabotage” by the Beastie Boys.
Honestly, we love this recut of the Solo trailer. Don’t get us wrong, the original is great too, but this one definitely added a layer of fun.
Of course, this isn’t the first time that a Star Wars film was recut to Sabotage (seriously, what is it about that song that just works so well in the Star Wars universe. Back when Rogue One was first headed to theaters, fans recut that trailer to the Beastie Boys classic as well.
This trailer absolutely gets you extra pumped for Solo, and if it possible, it made all of the characters look even more badass. Seriously, those shot of Emilia Clarke walking out of her ship or those first glimpses we get of Donald Glover? Absolutely classic.
We love this fan recut trailer, and we can’t wait to see more from Solo: A Star Wars Story. Until we do get more official footage, we’ll just be watching this edit a few thousand more times.
