Solo: A Star Wars Storyis about to hit theaters,Ongoing Archives and its stars — Donald Glover (Lando Calrissian) and Alden Ehrenreich (Han Solo) — have been making the rounds promoting the film.
The two stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Showin an episode that aired May 21to share a bit about the audition process, meeting with their character's predecessors, and how full-circle this moment really is for them.

Ehrenreich also spilled about being anxious about his music selection with Glover in the area. "We listened to somewhat different stuff," he shared. "I was always in the makeup trailer trying to figure out what would seem cool to play when [Glover] came in...I never figured it out," he said laughing.
He tried Bob Seger, The Eagles, and more — none of which worked. "He likes music where it's like 'we're going to get away from this town,'" Glover observed.
You can catch them in a galaxy far, far away on May 25th when Solo: A Star Wars Story hits theaters.
