Lucasfilm is doing their best to keep details of the next Star Wars spinoff movie under wraps, but despite their best efforts details and set photos have been trickling out.
After the success of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Han Solo is getting his turn in the spotlight with a film focusing on his origins as an infamous smuggler.
Photos have already revealed Alden Ehrenreich as the true successor to Harrison Ford, but some more shots from the set have shown what could turn out to be a key location in the Star Wars Universe.
Making Star Wars recently posted some photos on location at the Fawley Power Station in Hampshire, England, where some sets were built. The photos reveal at some Imperial installations being set up, but the photographer also sent notes that green screens were being transported around. They also note that a car with a camera rig attached was practicing runs nearby.

With all of this in mind, it's time to strap on our speculation hats and try to figure out what is going on at these sets. They're obviously setting up for a future shoot, considering location at Fuerteventura at the Canary Islands is still underway. So what are they covering when they return to England?
Could we be looking at the rumored location of Corellia? Even further, could this serve as the place where Han obtains the Millennium Falcon?
The Falcon is a Corellian-class freighter, albeit heavily modified. Corellia is also Solo's homeworld.
Rumors have pointed toward the untitled Han Solo movie finally revealing one of the most famous planets yet to be depicted on screen. So is that where the Fawley Power Station location is supposed to take place?
We'll find out when the Han Solo anthology film debuts in theaters May 25, 2018.
