With Ron Howard’s Solo: A Star Wars Story opening this weekend, I recently sat down with Donald Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge for a video interview. They revealed who was the first person they told after being cast, if they have a favorite Lando cape, if they took home anything from set, and they each shared memorable moments from filming which included the cast dancing and Glover’s father visiting the set.

As most of you know, Solo takes place before the first Star Wars movie and follows a young Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) as he befriends his future copilot Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) and meets the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover). Solo also stars Emilia Clarke, Woody Harrelson, Paul Bettany, Joonas Suotamo, Jon Favreau, and Thandie Newton. Solo: A Star Wars Story opens in theaters on May 25th.
