VIDEO: Madrid metro station renamed 'Han Solo' in Star Wars tribute
Don’t be alarmed when travelling on Madrid’s metro this weekend if you hear an unusual announcement over the tannoy: “The next station is Han Solo. Change here for lines 2 and 3”
Visitors through central Madrid should be reassured that they haven’t travelled to a galaxy far far away, neither have the been struck down with Star Wars fever.
But until June 1 Madrid’s central station Sol has indeed been renamed Han Solo ahead of the new Star Wars spin off telling the pre-Star Wars adventures of the rebel pilot and his wookiee wingman, Chewbacca.
