Instantly Proven Wrong: As they are leaving Kessel and see the Imperial blockade, Han assures the others they won't bother sending TIE fighters after a freighter like them. Cue TIE fighters. Later when confronted by the Cloud-Riders, Han tries to pull a Backup Bluff on them, saying there are thirty armed men aboard the Falcon who will come running at his call. The Falcon promptly takes off.

All There in the Manual: Downplayed, as the manual in this case is the Expanded Universe rather than supplemental material. The Wham Shot near the end of the film of Maul as the boss of Crimson Dawn will need serious explaining to any Star Wars fan who is only familiar with the live action films. Maul's survival and return to power were detailed in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. According to Jon Kasdan, Lando's full name was to be revealed as Landonis Balthazar Calrissian III. L3 actually does call him "Landonis" once.

comment
Retroactive Idiot Ball: Han and Leia choosing to pass on the Solo name rather than the Organa name as revealed in The Force Awakens never made a ton of sense considering that Alderaan was a matriarchal society and Organa is the name of a royal house and of one of the few remaining Alderaanian bloodlines, but it makes even less sense after this film revealed that Solo wasn't even Han's original last name and was given to him as a placeholder by an Imperial officer. Then again, Leia isn't an Organa by blood herself, being a Skywalker instead.

The Cameo: Anthony Daniels as the character named "Tak". It's the third time he appears in a Star Wars movie without playing C-3PO, after appearing as "Dannl Faytonni" in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. At the very end, Ray Park and Sam Witwer, performing the role of Maul together for the very first time. Ron Howard's wife, Cheryl, appears in a deleted scene as a female Imperial officer identified in the official guidebook as "Ardwyl Hercho", an anagram for "Cheryl Howard".

The art book reveals that the chrome visor on Enfys Nest's mask was inspired by The Boss's Cool Shades from Cool Hand Luke, and Weazel's fur-covered jacket by a similar one worn by Adam Ant. Additionally, the red flags on the Cloud-Riders' swoop-bikes were modeled after the Sashimono banners from classic Jidaigeki films, particularly Ran.

Cruel and Unusual Death: The Summa-verminoth, the creature Han and crew encounter in the Maw. The creature is pulled into the event horizon of a black hole and spends a solid minute struggling not to get sucked in. It gets visibly fried while still alive, and is pulled into the black hole, one layer at a time starting with its skin. The skeleton is then mulched by the gravity well as it finally gets sucked in.

I Need a Freaking Drink

Enfys Nest is a rather petite young teenage girl wearing a heavy suit of armor with a cape and a presumably-uncomfortable helmet, so naturally she's dying of thirst. The moment her standoff with Han and his crew has been disarmed, the first thing she does is exhaustedly take the helmet off and go for a drink.

Crapsack World
 Solo / int_21d70919
comment
Crapsack World: Under the Empire, Corellia is a poverty-ridden urban hellhole dominated by criminal gangs who are in a trust or collaborate with the government, and the shipyards — once the planet's pride and joy — have been co-opted to support its massive war machine. Moreover, the control of the Galaxy as a whole is divided between the Empire and powerful criminal gangs, neither of whom make life easy for people of low station. Kessel is pretty crappy as well.

 Solo / int_21ef4ccd
comment
Good Is Not Dumb: When Han agrees to help the Cloud-Riders, he tells Beckett his plan to dupe Dryden, but Beckett decides to leave, claiming he's going to take a job on Tatooine. It turns out, however, that Beckett, whose life philosophy is based on expecting everyone to betray him, had actually gone to tell Dryden about the plan. Fortunately, Han knew that Beckett would do this, saying that Beckett's philosophy made him predictable, which allows Han, Chewie, Qi'ra & the Cloud-Riders to defeat Beckett, Dryden & his Goons, and secure the Coaxium.

Good Is Not Nice: Despite being Good All Along, the Cloud-Riders are absolutely ruthless in the pursuit of their goals, attacking Beckett's first crew without hesitation (killing Rio in the process) during the Conveyex heist and seemingly killing every last one of Dryden's guards after outwitting them in the climax.

Chekhov's Gun
 Solo / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: When Han first sees the Falcon, he immediately notices that the ship has been heavily modified from its stock configuration, and Lando explains that he added a large escape pod between the mandibles that he uses as additional living space. While they are being chased by the Summa-verminoth, Han launches the escape pod to draw the beast towards the Maw. During the first game of sabacc, Lando hides a clip up his sleeve, loaded with an extra card so he can cheat: Han later complains that there's no way Lando should have had that card. Lando tries to use it again in the rematch, but Han spots it and swipes the card without Lando noticing. The quintessential version when Dryden Vos, after killing the regional governor, orders his dagger to be placed in his office because he might need it again. Sure enough he uses it in the final fight with Han.

I Just Want to Have Friends: A large part of Han's story is how he wants to have people he can trust and rely on but how everyone he tries to form a relationship with ends up leaving him if not stabbing him in the back. The film's bitter-sweet ending sees Han abandoned by his girlfriend and forced to kill the man he wants to be his mentor/father figure, but he does find one true friend in Chewie. Fortunately, we know that he has more friends coming in his future.

Mythology Gag
 Solo / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: In order to get Lando to bet the Falcon, Han bets a VCX-100 freighter (which he doesn't have), the same model of ship as the Ghost. Various elements of the story seem to be inspired by The Han Solo Trilogy: The idea of Han being in the Imperial military in the film is a definite nod. There are also a number of similarities between Tobias Beckett and Garris Shrike in terms of appearance, personality, and role in the story, as well as Qi'ra and Bria Tharen: Beckett betrays Han, and dies in the same manner as Shrike—shot to death so that Han can escape to live his new life with Chewie as a smuggler, although unlike Shrike, Han greatly regrets how their relationship ends, and Beckett doesn't act as the cruel enslaver forcing street urchins to steal for him, that role being given to Lady Proxima instead. Qi'ra, meanwhile, also hails from Corellia and is an early love Han gets separated from, and like Bria she grows to become a highly-placed member of an elite and clandestine organization competing with various crime syndicates for the materials and funding to support its secret goals, and willing to do whatever it takes to achieve them. Like Bria, she also betrays Han, but rather than the nascent Rebellion being her ultimate employer, it's a villainous organization—and one which actually has its origin in the Empire thanks to Maul—and in fact she ends up working at odds with the Cloud-Raiders, who are a Rebel precursor cell. Bria's team, incidentally, was called the Red Hand Squadron, while Qi'ra is part of the Crimson Dawn. In general, it feels as if the writers took a number of elements from the novels and either inverted them or divided them between several characters. Lando namedrops Sharu, Oseon and the Starcave, three main settings of the The Lando Calrissian Adventures trilogy. The fact that he has a droid as a co-pilot, meanwhile, is a nod to Vuffi Raa. L3 bears resemblance to LE-BO2D9, a.k.a. Leebo, Dash Rendar's droid copilot from Shadows of the Empire. L3 refers to Black Spire, the setting for the Galaxy's Edge Land in the Disney Parks. Beckett walks in on Han and Qi'ra kissing in a tucked away place in the Falcon. When Qi'ra contacts her boss, Maul, he tells her to meet him on Dathomir, first identified as his home planet in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Dryden's organization being called "The Crimson Dawn" sounds very similar to the Black Sun Syndicate from Legends and The Clone Wars. Given that Maul is holding the reins of both organizations, it's probably not a coincidence that they have similar names. Solo is offered a place in the Rebellion at the end, and when he refuses, he's told that the spot is open if he reconsiders. The word "kid" is used. The way Beckett deconstructs his DL-44 from rifle into a pistol before giving it to Han is similar how Kyle Katarn's father sawed down his Bryar rifle into Katarn's Bryar pistol. As The Clone Wars fans will remember, this isn't the first time the Pykes have been allied with Maul's criminal organization. Beckett tells Han that he has one last thing to teach him. Han shoots him first. In the Legends continuity the Falcon's temperamental nature was chalked up to Han modifying her with non-compatible parts that were jury-rigged together simply because they were the best and most powerful he could get his hands on. Here he does largely the same thing: plugging L3's droid brain into the Falcon's main computer to use her specialized navigational systems. Han being a talented pilot who was kicked out of the Imperial Academy and demoted down to a mere stormtrooper, only to end up as a vital part of the Empire's defeat, brings to mind Legends character Davin Felth. Beckett says that he'll spend his retirement days on Glee Anselm: an ocean world and the Nautolan Jedi Master Kit Fisto's home planet. The deformed Big Bad orders his dark-haired second-in-command to kill the main character, who they have feelings for, with a sword, only for the dark-haired second-in-command to turn on the villain and kill him with a blade, before taking his place and betraying the main character. Sound familiar? Dryden Vos' office aboard the First Light contains a number of artifacts, including two Rakatan Wraith Boxes, which made their first Legends appearance in Star Wars: The Old Republic. In the Legends continuity, the Rakatans were a race of Abusive Precursors known for their immense dark side power, and the box itself was allegedly mentioned in in-universe legends by the ancient Sith lord Ajunta Pall, which could be taken as additional Foreshadowing for eagle-eyed fans as to the true nature of Vos' superior. Other artifacts of the Old Republic present in Dryden Vos's office include a slab of obsidian taken from the Tomb of the Sith Lord Exar Kun, a near complete suit of Mandalorian Rally Master armor, and the aforementioned Sith holocron. Han brags to Qi'ra that he's here on Dryden's yacht working on a "very big deal". Never forget the advice he gave Finn. "Listen up, Big Deal, women can always tell." C3PO said that the Falcon navicomputer was the worst he'd ever met. Well, now we've met the navicomputer; it's L3, and there's a very good reason she'd never get along with 3PO. Han warned R2 and 3PO that a wookie might "tear your arms off when he's upset". We finally get to see Chewie do exactly that.

The first we see of Dryden Vos is one of his servants mention that he's "done negotiating" with a regional governor. And by "negotiating" with the man, we mean literally the first shot we see of Vos is him ripping his blades out of the guy's chest. Not only that, but he's also breathing heavily, suggesting that he is either seriously pissed off or seriously enjoyed murdering the guy. Or both.

Trailers Always Lie: The trailers feature Beckett telling Han that a "big shot gangster" is putting together a crew for a job, implying that the gangster is Dryden and the job is the Conveyex heist. The "big shot gangster" is actually implied to be Jabba, the job is a Sequel Hook, and the offer is made near the end of the film, right before the climax, as Beckett's way of explaining his declining to join Han's scheme to scam Dryden. A scene in the trailers suggests that Han will engage in a Quick Draw duel with a bunch of marauders. They actually end up talking things out.

Done at least twice. Han plans to betray Vos with a shipment of fake coaxium, only for Vos to spot the ruse thanks to Beckett informing on him. Then Han reveals that he knew Beckett would betray him, and the coaxium in the shipment he's giving to Vos is actually real.

I Shall Return: Han's Love Interest Qi'ra is captured as they're on the verge of escaping from Corellia. He swears he will return for her as she's dragged off, even joining the Imperial military to become a pilot. After deserting and hooking up with a Caper Crew to get enough money for a spaceship so he can return to Corella to keep his promise, he's surprised to encounter Qi'ra sooner than he expects, working as a lieutenant in the criminal organisation that employs them. Han doesn't listen when it's pointed out that Qi'ra may not be the same innocent girl he once knew.

Ascended Meme: The final confrontation between Han and Beckett, where Beckett's finger twitches on his blaster but Han shoots him before he has a chance to draw, is a deliberate reference to the Han Shot First meme. The writers directly confirmed that the very script itself declares "there can be no question that Han shoots first."

Foregone Conclusion
 Solo / int_3bc88a7f
comment
Foregone Conclusion: Han, Chewie and Lando will survive this film; Han and Chewie will gain ownership of the Millennium Falcon. Han mentions in The Empire Strikes Back that he won the ship from Lando "fair and square" (over a game of Sabacc as revealed in this film). The film tries to play with this by having Lando win the match though cheating. When Han has a rematch with him in the ending, he's figured out Lando's trick and finally wins the ship from him "fair and square" (Han notably doesn't bother to use the cheat card he stole from Lando, meaning he has no grounds to argue). Han's optimism and brighter personality will be eventually tempered by forces out of his control, as A New Hope establishes Han as the cynical smuggler who isn't a team player and is Only in It for the Money. The romance between Han and Qi'ra is ultimately going to fall apart, since Han and Leia are the Official Couple of the Original Trilogy. Whatever plans that Maul has will eventually be for naught, since we've already seen him die at some point after this film, and for some time before that he was seemingly bereft of any criminal syndicate resources. The film ends with Han and Chewie flying to Tatooine to work for a certain "big-shot gangster" who can safely assumed to be Jabba the Hutt. However, we already know Han will end up in debt to Jabba by the time of A New Hope.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Solo / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Han threatens Lady Proxima with a "thermal detonator." She instantly points out that it's clearly a rock he's holding, and the "activation" sound was just him making a clicking sound with his mouth. (Fortunately, this distracts Proxima from Han's real plan.) During the chase scene afterwards, Han tries to escape from Moloch by jamming his speeder diagonally through a tight gap in factory machinery. The gap isn't wide enough so the speeder gets stuck in the machinery, and Han and Qi'ra have to get out of the speeder and escape on foot. Han's attempt at blackmailing a hardened criminal disguised as an Imperial officer backfires horribly when that same criminal promptly uses his "officer" credentials to have Han arrested as a deserter and thrown into a pit to be Fed to the Beast. During the Train Job, Rio gets shot in the shoulder. Many works of fiction pass this off as Just a Flesh Wound, which Rio himself does, but the truth is that such an injury can be fatal, and Beckett can tell by how much the AT-hauler is wobbling that Rio is Obviously Not Fine. Sure enough, Rio dies just minutes later. Plus, being Multi-Armed and Dangerous also means double the major arteries in that area. L3 stands out in the open shouting about droid rights during the chaotic fire fight at the Kessel mine and ends up being shot by a stray bolt. Lando is likewise clipped in the shoulder during his mad dash to retrieve her. When Han confronts Beckett during the climax, Beckett begins to lecture him, only to be shot before he can finish. Enfys Nest is a rather petite young teenage girl wearing a heavy suit of armor with a cape and a presumably-uncomfortable helmet, so naturally she's dying of thirst. The moment her standoff with Han and his crew has been disarmed, the first thing she does is exhaustedly take the helmet off and go for a drink.

Bittersweet Ending: Han not only splits ways with Qi'ra, but ends up betrayed by Beckett, the latter of whom he is forced to kill in a duel, and both Qi'ra and Beckett end up shattering Han's idealism and turn him into the cynical smuggler he is in the Original Trilogy. On the other hand, the events of the movie are why he and Chewie are friends in the first place, and making him acquaintances with Lando Calrissian, who provides him with none other than the Millennium Falcon, the ship that will go on to save the galaxy time and time again.

The Empire
 Solo / int_556a4e20
comment
Also, of course, The Empire, who tyrannically rule the galaxy during this period, making them about the Greatest Scope Villains you could get. They turn up a few times to do generic villain stuff: trying to capture Han and Qi'ra in the prologue, spreading military propaganda, recruiting mooks (and demoting those who show a mind of their own, according to Han), invading a planet, imprisoning Chewie, trying to feed Han to Chewie as punishment for desertion, and finally turning up to antagonise Han and his comrades during the famous Kessel Run, plus they're mentioned as having massacred or otherwise oppressed the various homeworlds of the Cloud-Riders, prompting them to found a rebellion. Nonetheless, despite being recurring antagonists, the self-contained main plot of the movie barely concerns them.

 Solo / int_588d766f
comment
Black-and-Grey Morality: Most of the characters in the movie are some variety of criminal, with varying degrees of ruthlessness. Han, Chewie, Lando, and L3 are all Loveable Rogues, but none of them hesitate to sign up with seedy crime lords for their own purposes. Beckett and Qi'ra are backstabbing thieves with no allegiance to anyone but themselves, and Dryden is an unhinged criminal mastermind. The Empire are obviously still the bad guys, but even the ultimately noble Cloud-Riders are pretty ruthless in pursuit of their goals.

The trailers feature Beckett telling Han that a "big shot gangster" is putting together a crew for a job, implying that the gangster is Dryden and the job is the Conveyex heist. The "big shot gangster" is actually implied to be Jabba, the job is a Sequel Hook, and the offer is made near the end of the film, right before the climax, as Beckett's way of explaining his declining to join Han's scheme to scam Dryden.

(On the other hand, the Imperial recruiter did promise Han "We'll have you flying in no time" and that one explosion did send Han flying, so at least that part was accurate.)

 Solo / int_7b21ef92
comment
Later-Installment Weirdness: This is the first Star Wars film where C-3PO and R2-D2 don't appear, even in a cameo (though Anthony Daniels does show up briefly). Similarly, the first Star Wars film where none of the Original Trilogy actors reprise their roles in any fashion. It's also the first Star Wars movie where no Skywalker family member is seen or mentioned whatsoever. Also, the first Star Wars film without any use of lightsabers in battle - in fact, we only even see one for a few seconds, and even that's in a hologram. It's the first Star Wars movie where an actual war is not part of the main plot. The Mimban campaign makes a brief but memorable appearance, but none of the main characters actually have any investment in it except for trying to get the hell away as far as possible. No Rebels appear except Enfys Nest and her Cloud-Riders. It's also the first film where the Force isn't mentioned anywhere and where no Force-sensitive individual is seen in action apart from Maul's very brief scene at the end. For that matter, the word "Jedi" is not pronounced anywhere. Although, those that have read Expanded Universe material get a major clue with the use of Teras Kasi, a martial art form known to be developed for use against Jedi, giving savvy viewers an indication that somewhere, a Force-user is involved. Also, the first film in the franchise where the Running Gag of a character saying "I have a bad feeling about this!" Once an Episode is broken. Instead, the line is ironically inverted to "I have a really good feeling about this!".

Establishing Character Moment
 Solo / int_7febc23b

Establishing Character Moment: For the twelve people on the planet who still needed an introduction to Han Solo, the opening of this movie has him 1) steal a Cool Car landspeeder from a gangster, 2) make out with a hot girl after charming her with an incredibly expensive gift he stole from their gangster boss, 3) get chewed out by said gangster boss, 4) beat up one of her guards with his own weapon, 5) threaten his boss with a (fake) thermal detonator, and 6) escape from said gangster boss with his girlfriend in said stolen landspeeder by driving like a maniac through a busy highway and into an active factory. All in the first ten minutes of the movie. Beckett appears silhouetted against an explosion in the Battle of Mimban, fighting Guns Akimbo to deadly effect while everyone else is in various degrees of panic. The moment that Han tries to blackmail him, Beckett doesn't hesitate to use his (fake) officer credentials to have Han thrown into a pit to be Fed to the Beast. The first we see of Dryden Vos is one of his servants mention that he's "done negotiating" with a regional governor. And by "negotiating" with the man, we mean literally the first shot we see of Vos is him ripping his blades out of the guy's chest. Not only that, but he's also breathing heavily, suggesting that he is either seriously pissed off or seriously enjoyed murdering the guy. Or both. This also has the benefit of establishing just how powerful the Crimson Dawn criminal empire really is: Vos killed a regional Imperial governor by his own hand, at a well-attended party. It won't be hard to determine how the governor was killed (by any Imperial investigators that bother to look). Vos simply doesn't care as either the Empire will look the other way, or his superiors will protect him. Either way, wow. Vos killed an Imperial elite, and has no foreseeable comeuppance coming from the Empire. That's power.

"Good Luck" Gesture: Lando and L3-37's exchange before making the jump to lightspeed is probably a pre-flight ritual they've done hundreds of times. It was actually first seen on film in Return of the Jedi, between Lando and Han.

FTL Test Blunder
 Solo / int_82bb14c3
comment
FTL Test Blunder: The Kessel Run is a risky coaxium smuggling route, due to the danger of carrying a volatile fuel across a path that takes multiple stops to ensure the ship's hyperspace flight doesn't get brought to an end by the Akkadese Maelstrom's black holes. During a heist, Han Solo attempts to save time before the coaxium explodes by charting a new route directly through the Maelstrom, though it runs into numerous hazards of carbonbergs, Imperial patrols, predators in the Maelstrom, and the infamous black hole "The Maw". When the Millenium Falcon gets caught in the Maw's grip, only a careful dose of coaxium gives the boost they need to escape it.

Reality Is Unrealistic: Done In-Universe in the climax. Vos compliments Han on the "realism" of the fake coaxium Han has given to him, only for Han to reveal that it actually is real. Justified, as Vos has been told by an informer that it is fake, so he probably isn't looking very closely.

Greater-Scope Villain
 Solo / int_9b06e314
comment
Greater-Scope Villain: This time it's not Emperor Palpatine, but his former apprentice Maul, who has become a crime lord and is Vos's superior, meaning the whole operation was indirectly his doing. With that said, he only appears via hologram for one scene and Han has no idea who was behind it all along. Also, of course, The Empire, who tyrannically rule the galaxy during this period, making them about the Greatest Scope Villains you could get. They turn up a few times to do generic villain stuff: trying to capture Han and Qi'ra in the prologue, spreading military propaganda, recruiting mooks (and demoting those who show a mind of their own, according to Han), invading a planet, imprisoning Chewie, trying to feed Han to Chewie as punishment for desertion, and finally turning up to antagonise Han and his comrades during the famous Kessel Run, plus they're mentioned as having massacred or otherwise oppressed the various homeworlds of the Cloud-Riders, prompting them to found a rebellion. Nonetheless, despite being recurring antagonists, the self-contained main plot of the movie barely concerns them.

Space Western: The franchise has always featured Western influences, but this movie really brings them to the forefront. Beckett and his gang are essentially bandits, the Empire fulfills the role of the federal authority that the protagonists are fleeing from, and Enfys Nest and the Cloud-Riders are essentially a band of Indian raiders, only with swoop-bikes instead of horses. There's even a segment where the main characters have to pull a train robbery (during which the music even sounds kinda western-y in places), and later on where they free a group of slave laborers working in a mine under terrible conditions.

Foreshadowing
 Solo / int_9d12bbc1

Foreshadowing: When Han and Qi’ra are in line in Coronet Spaceport, Qi’ra briefly questions if leaving is the right choice because they could get snatched by Crimson Dawn or the Hutt Cartel. Qi’ra becomes a top lieutenant in Crimson Dawn and Han will ultimately become a smuggler for Jabba the Hutt. The Crimson Dawn syndicate sounds like they ripped off their name from the Black Sun syndicate. Given that Maul turns out to be in charge of Crimson Dawn, just as he was in charge of Black Sun before they split, it was probably intentional naming by him. Additionally, what kind of planet would have a crimson dawn? The red planet Dathomir, with its deep crimson atmosphere- Maul's homeworld. Dryden says he can't officially condone the coaxium heist from Kessel because he has an alliance with the Pykes. Attentive viewers will be reminded of the Shadow Collective, AKA the massive criminal conglomerate that was assembled and led by Maul. When Han first arrives at Lady Proxima's lair at the beginning of the movie, two of the kids can be heard playing sabacc in the background: one of them wins with a hand called "Full Sabacc" and the other one accuses him of cheating. During Han and Lando's first sabacc game, Lando wins with a "Full Sabacc"... which he obtains by cheating. Vos has red double-bladed vibro-daggers, and Qi'ra mentions learning Teräs Käsi from him. Vos serves Maul, who was a practitioner of Teräs Käsi in Legends and has a red double-bladed lightsaber. Vos' scars look like someone raked a lightsaber across his face, and he says he knows the price of failure. Maul would be the kind of person who would punish that way. The scars down his face also visually resemble Maul's facial markings. Part of Vos' collection appears to be a large Sith holocron. Which makes sense, because his boss is a former Sith lord. With its orchestral chanting, Enfys Nest's theme sounds similar to "Duel of the Fates", a piece of music heavily associated with Darth Maul. The singers doing the Ominous Latin Chanting in Enfys Nest's leitmotif sound very notably young and female. The audience will probably join Dryden in wondering how Han was able to make convincing fake coaxium so easily. That's because he didn't. For someone who claims to care about others, Beckett sure gets over the deaths of Val and Rio easily. So it's not much surprise when he betrays Han to Vos in the climax. Likewise, when Beckett tells Han, "Assume everyone will betray you and you will never be disappointed," it hints at Beckett's own untrustworthy nature. While teaching Chewie how to play dejarik, Beckett tells him to anticipate his opponent and plan a few moves ahead. Little does he know that Han will do that to him.

Continuity Nod

Continuity Nod: The Millennium Falcon gradually turns from a luxury ship in pristine condition into the piece of junk it's famous for in the Original Trilogy. Han pulls some extreme maneuvers that heavily damage the ship while navigating in the Akkadese Maesltrom after escaping Kessel, and makes a rough landing on Savareen. It also loses its radar dish... once again. During one of those maneuvers, Tobias injects the engines with unrefined coaxium to give the Falcon a Nitro Boost. The result is a familiar engine-failure sound right before the Falcon blasts out of a black hole. Bossk, a Transdoshan who would later become one of the bounty hunters hired by the Empire to track down the Millennium Falcon in The Empire Strikes Back, is name-dropped as one of the possible crewmates for Tobias's train job. Ironically, the person who takes Bossk's place is Han Solo, whom he would later be hired to track down some thirteen years later. Tobias also considers the Xan sisters. Val's goggles that she wears in the film belonged to one of the sisters before she "borrowed" them. Tam Posla, a background character from Rogue One, also shows up as a spectator watching Lando's first game of Sabacc with Han. Beckett claims to have killed Aurra Sing, the bounty hunter who mentored a young Boba Fett during the Clone Wars, who first appeared as a background character in The Phantom Menace. Kessel is controlled by the Pyke Syndicate, a recurring criminal gang from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. When listing the Imperial stations where coaxium could be stolen, one of those is the vault on Scarif, where the climactic battle of Rogue One will occur. A heroic version of "The Imperial March" (similar to the one played in the "Empire Day" episode of Star Wars Rebels) plays in the Imperial recruitment video inside Coronet Spaceport. Maul has the same cybernetic legs and kimono-like outfit that he wore in The Clone Wars. It was noted in A New Hope that stormtroopers do not form the primary ranks of the Imperial Army, and are, in fact, supposed to be Elite Mooks. This finally plays out with the introduction of the Imperial Infantry, who, as shown in the Battle of Mimban, are mostly green conscripts like Han and really are so terrified, untrained, and incompetent that Stormtroopers qualify as elite soldiers by comparison. Felucia is mentioned as the planet where Lando set things straight with the Crimson Dawn in their previous cooperation. It is the tropical jungle planet on which Aayla Secura is executed by Clone Troopers during Order 66 in Revenge of the Sith. Dryden Vos's trophies include a Sith holocron and a set of Mandalorian armor (like Boba Fett's). One of his servants is also a member of the Decraniated, the people who had parts or all of their heads removed and showed up briefly as background extras in Rogue One. Rebels shows that bribing a Stormtrooper is a bad idea. Here, bribing an Imperial officer is an even worse idea, as the officer only pretends to accept the bribe before betraying the briber. The novelization goes on to show that the Cloud Riders pass on the coaxium given to them by Han to none other than Saw Gerrera and Jyn Erso. Maul is already being hunted by the Empire and has killed at least one Inquisitor, as closer inspection reveals that he's already got the broken Inquisitor-saber he'll later use in Rebels. The unrefined coaxium is hidden in the same smuggling compartments where the heroes hide in A New Hope.

Elite Mooks: The Cloud-Riders function as this at first, giving Han and the crew way more trouble than the Imperial soldiers, and are directly responsible for the deaths of Rio and Val. It later turns out that they're actually the good guys, and consequently switch from this trope to Badass Army.

Oh, Crap!: Han's reaction when Beckett tells him that the failed Train Job was for Crimson Dawn. The look on the crew's faces when an Imperial Star Destroyer shows up to block their escape from Kessel. Not long after the crew evade the Imperial Star Destroyer, when they restore power to the Falcon, they see a giant eyeball staring right at them. And then another one when the coaxium Nitro Boost almost kills the Falcon's engine and sends them falling into a black hole. Dryden has this reaction when he realizes that Han and Chewie have just tricked him into sending all of his guards after the fake coaxium, leaving him virtually defenseless. You can see it really start to sink in for Qi'ra just how dangerous the leader of Crimson Dawn is when Maul ignites his lightsaber, revealing himself to be a Sith Lord.

What You Are in the Dark: Han and Qi'ra's conversation before learning the truth behind Enfys Nest and trying to double-cross Dryden implies that for all of Han's grandstanding, she knows all too well that he can never really be the kind of outlaw he thinks/believes himself to be. As we already know, the Original Trilogy proves her right. Qi'ra on the other hand proves to be more willing to play all sides for herself, though she does help cover for Han when she reports to Maul.

Time-Shifted Actor: Harrison Ford and Billy Dee Williams being a fair bit too old to play younger versions of Han and Lando (Williams in particular had some health problems by The New '10s), the characters are respectively played by Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover. Interestingly, Ehrenreich and Glover's respective ages are consistent with the respective ages of Ford and Williams for the time frame the movie is meant to take place in.

I Did What I Had to Do

Qi'ra, meanwhile, also hails from Corellia and is an early love Han gets separated from, and like Bria she grows to become a highly-placed member of an elite and clandestine organization competing with various crime syndicates for the materials and funding to support its secret goals, and willing to do whatever it takes to achieve them. Like Bria, she also betrays Han, but rather than the nascent Rebellion being her ultimate employer, it's a villainous organization—and one which actually has its origin in the Empire thanks to Maul—and in fact she ends up working at odds with the Cloud-Raiders, who are a Rebel precursor cell. Bria's team, incidentally, was called the Red Hand Squadron, while Qi'ra is part of the Crimson Dawn. In general, it feels as if the writers took a number of elements from the novels and either inverted them or divided them between several characters.

This time it's not Emperor Palpatine, but his former apprentice Maul, who has become a crime lord and is Vos's superior, meaning the whole operation was indirectly his doing. With that said, he only appears via hologram for one scene and Han has no idea who was behind it all along.

Of the human protagonists alone we have the normal-sounding names of Han Solo and Tobias Beckett mixed in with the sci-fi names of Qi'ra and Lando Calrissian. For viewers in Ireland, though, Qi'ra is on the other side, as it's pronounced the same as Ciara.

Xanatos Gambit

Xanatos Gambit: Han and Chewie pull off a rather brilliant one in the climax. Han tells Beckett about his plan to double-cross Dryden and give the real coaxium to the Cloud-Riders, then kill Vos with a blaster hidden in the coaxium case while he and his guards are distracted, which is pretty smart on its own. On the off chance that Beckett snitches to Vos, Han plans to deliver Dryden the real coaxium, leaving him defenseless when his guards chase after the fake coaxium with the Cloud-Riders, allowing Han to take out Vos while he and his guards are distracted. Ultimately, Beckett does indeed betray Han, but still leaves Dryden alone with Han and Qi'ra, which is exactly what Han wants.

Mêlée à Trois: The Mexican Standoff in the climax splinters into at least four opposing sides - Han and Chewie are double-crossed by Beckett, and Qi'ra reluctantly takes Vos' side. Then Han reveals that he predicted Beckett's betrayal ahead of time, and Beckett betrays Vos and leaves with the coaxium, setting up a threeway battle between Vos, Han, and Qi'ra, all of whom want to kill Beckett and take back the coaxium. Then Qi'ra pretends to betray Han, only to betray Vos for real, and then abandon Han after he leaves to hunt down Beckett.

Shout-Out
 Solo / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Dryden Vos's collection includes quite a few references to Indiana Jones, as does the movie at large: A crystal skull from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull The idol from the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark One of Dryden's guards is named Toht-Ra. "Toht" was the name of the Nazi Gestapo agent in Raiders of the Lost Ark. He went after Indiana Jones to acquire the headpiece to the Staff of Ra. L3 starts a slave uprising in the mines, with shots of the prisoners throwing off their chains that are almost identical to the rescue of the slave children in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Beckett warns Han not to trust anyone, this becomes an Ironic Echo when he tells him this after betraying him to Dryden. This is similar to the way how Donovan betrayed Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The shot of Chewie nearly being hit by a rock during the conveyex heist is shot very similarly to the same thing happening to Indy during the tank chase in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Han pulls a maneuver inspired by one pulled by an old friend of his on Corellia named Needles, who was a street racer, referring to the character from Back to the Future. The Corellian hounds were a tribute to the Death Dogs from Ron Howard's own Willow. Han over powers a Kessel guard with a Groin Attack at one point. This type of move is used in Star Wars: The Old Republic as the standard interrupt for the Scoundrel class, and can be made available to the other classes through the Legacy system. The art book reveals that the chrome visor on Enfys Nest's mask was inspired by The Boss's Cool Shades from Cool Hand Luke, and Weazel's fur-covered jacket by a similar one worn by Adam Ant. Additionally, the red flags on the Cloud-Riders' swoop-bikes were modeled after the Sashimono banners from classic Jidaigeki films, particularly Ran. It is nearly impossible not to watch the Imperial sergeant attempting to rally the men to Zerg Rush the objective on Mimban and not get flashes of the Imperial Guard propaganda pictures in the artwork of that game. The color schemes even match exactly. The Maw black hole having the appearance of a swirling red whirlpool nods to Disney's visualization in The Black Hole. As both appear more red than black, Han refers to it as a gravity well and doesn't use the term black hole. Teräs Käsi is reintegrated into the new canon when Qi'ra mentions having trained in it. "Teräs Käsi" is the Finnish translation for "steel hands", a reference to the Fighting Game series Tekken ("Tekken" means "Iron Fist" in Japanese). Obviously, this carries over from the work that originally introduced it.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee
 Solo / int_c82e751f
comment
Unspoken Plan Guarantee: The details of the Train Job are thoroughly discussed the day before it goes down. It ends up going way south, with Val and Rio killed and the coaxium lost. The final scene is centered around a double subversion of this. First, Han tells Beckett a plan to help the Cloud-Riders, get Dryden on-side to pay them, and get away, which we don't hear. Beckett says it's too risky, and pretends to leave to find his fortune elsewhere. Then, when Han, Qi'ra, and Chewie try the plan anyway, Beckett reveals himself as having spilled that unspoken plan to Dryden Vos... only for it to be revealed there was another unspoken plan the trio made after he left, operating under the assumption Beckett would betray them. This plan ends up working.

Space Is Noisy: The Millennium Falcon is shown moving through hyperspace accompanied by a low rumble the likes of which should make all subwoofer owners quite happy. Because when you see a ship from an external viewpoint you can hear sounds through the vacuum of space. Really. Those carbonbergs are pretty noisy when they collide with each other, so much that Qi'ra can hear them from the cockpit even when the Falcon is in the safe route.

Lighter and Softer
 Solo / int_ce6555f0
comment
Lighter and Softer: The film is lighter in tone compared to the previous Anthology film, Rogue One, essentially being a Western-inspired crime caper (IN SPACE!), while Rogue One is a gritty war film. It's also lighter than The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, the other two films since the Disney buyout. While they're lighter than Rogue One, they have very high stakes and go into some rather dark territory and themes (especially with Kylo Ren's scenes), and large amounts of death. While Solo does have some dark moments and quite a few deaths, it's much lower-stakes and (possibly excluding the Battle of Mimban) doesn't go as dark as the other two, rather being a mostly lighthearted Indiana Jones-esque film.

Lower-Deck Episode: The movie is set during a less chaotic time in the Galaxy, after the end of the Clone Wars and prior to the all-out war between the Rebel Alliance and the Empire. The plot focuses on Han's first ventures into the galaxy's criminal underworld and doesn't involve the Myth Arc of the Skywalker family.

Contrived Coincidence: Han has intended to search for someone for years, and suddenly a long series of random events forces them to meet up and do a job together (neither party was actively looking for the other at the time this happened). It seems highly unlikely in such a broad setting.

It would have worked, but Qi'ra got snagged by Proxima's goons just before she could get through and the bureaucrat, knowing the attention will get her caught, sounds the alarm, claiming Han broke through.

Schrödinger's Canon
 Solo / int_e1636077
comment
Schrödinger's Canon: Solo renders two parts of Han's Legends backstory from The Han Solo Trilogy canon, in that he's been living on the streets and running scams since childhood, and he enlisted to become a pilot in the Imperial Navy for some time before deserting to become a smuggler instead. (The movie does change the precise circumstances of his departure from Corellia significantly, however.) The planet Mimban originally appeared in Splinter of the Mind's Eye, arguably the first Legends work. However, because of the perspective we see it from and the brief time the plot spends there, it's unclear just how similar it is to the earlier version (though it is foggy and swampy, two things the book version had in abundance). Qi'ra mentions being trained in Teräs Käsi, a martial art prominent in Legends continuity. The particularly eagle-eyed and informed will immediately raise an eyebrow that Qi'ra can use it, will understand L3's shock, and will not be quite as surprised at a later reveal and by how Qi'ra "can't leave Crimson Dawn behind". The Maw has also been recanonized (albeit as one large black hole in a nearly-unnavigable nebula, instead of a large cluster of black holes). The Falcon's designation as a YT-1300 transport, and that it's a Corellian design (specifically manufactured by a company called CEC, in the Legends continuity short for Corellian Engineering Corporation), is first mentioned onscreen here. It had been known as such for decades in Legends, but this is the first time it's been said on-screen. Similarly, Corellia's capital is mentioned to be Coronet, as established in the novels. Enfys Nest is the leader of the Cloud-Riders, a Swoop gang which first appeared in the original Star Wars (Marvel 1977) comics. Carida, a military world known for having the best Imperial training in the galaxy and introduced in Legends, is mentioned by an Imperial recruiter at the beginning of the film. Chewbacca being 190 years old fits with his age around the time of the Original Trilogy in the Legends continuity, which was stated by pre-Disney EU materials to be about 200.

Made of Explodium: Unrefined coaxium is extremely unstable. This is why Han has to make his famous "Kessel Run" to get the containers to a non-imperial refinery before they overheat and explode. Even refined coaxium blows up quite nicely. . . one train car full dropped down a chasm obliterates two-thirds of an entire mountain.

Call-Forward
 Solo / int_e3c36782
comment
Call-Forward: The movie shows us how Han made the Kessel run in 12 parsecs using the Millennium Falcon. Beckett asks Han if he knows what it's like to live with a bounty on his head. He will soon enough. Before seeing the Falcon, Han calls it a "piece of junk". Han quips "Oh yeah? Watch this!" during the opening speeder chase, something he'll say in The Empire Strikes Back during the escape from Hoth. When Han introduces himself to Lando, Lando intentionally mispronounces his name ("Han" in a way that rhymes with "can", instead of the correct "Han" rhymes with "con"), just like he does in the Original Trilogy—but Han says it's fine. During his first game of Sabacc with Lando, Han claims that he has a Corellian VCX-100 light freighter that he's betting on the game, which is the same model of starship as the Ghost. Chewie plays dejarik again. Only this time, it's with Tobias Beckett, but the latter beats him with the exact same move like R2-D2 will in that film. As a result, Chewie goes berserk, which also happened in the same movie. Also, in A New Hope, Han warns C-3PO that when Chewie gets very upset, he'll most likely rip someone's arms off. In this movie, we get to see Chewie doing exactly that, right in front of Han, no less! Lando may not be fond of mining colonies like the one on Kessel, but he'll run one, Bespin's Cloud City, by the time of The Empire Strikes Back. To make it even funnier, in the Legends continuity he ended up running not one, but two other mining operations after Cloud City...and one of them was Kessel itself. Lady Proxima is a large Starfish Alien gangster and mob boss who resembles some kind of giant insect or invertebrate, like Jabba the Hutt - Jabba is something like a giant slug with arms, Proxima is close to a giant centipede. Han and Chewie using a Trojan Prisoner gambit to reach their objective like they would in A New Hope. Tobias's disguise on Kessel is the same Lando would use to infiltrate Jabba's palace and help rescue Han in Return of the Jedi. Han using the Falcon to smack a TIE Fighter during a dogfight is something Hera would later do with the Ghost in Rebels Season 4. The music score as the TIEs chase the Falcon through the Maelstrom is the one from the chase through the asteroid field in The Empire Strikes Back. The line in a trailer, "I thought we were in trouble for a second, but it's fine. We're fine." is delivered in a similar fashion to Han's "Everything's perfectly all right now, we're all fine." from A New Hope. L3 is sadly destroyed and her memory core is uploaded to the Falcon. Years later, C-3PO will complain about the Falcon's uncooperative and rude main computer. One of the Cloud-Riders is Benthic "Two Tubes" before he was a member of Saw Gerrera's partisan gang. Another is a Rodian, the same species as Greedo. Han shot Tobias - first. Enfys Nest reveals that Crimson Dawn would steal resources from poor planets; the resources would then find themselves in the Galactic Empire's possession, which is used to build a powerful weapon with a circular shape - the Death Star. While Lando is contemplating the tremendous damage done to the Falcon, Han happily approaches him. We get the following dialogue: When Han finds Lando in the ending, Han pretends to be upset and attempts to fistfight Lando, only to reveal that he's just messing with him. Lando would then do the same to Han when they meet again in The Empire Strikes Back. As in A New Hope, a tracker is planted on the Falcon. When Han bluffs Proxima, his weapon of choice is a thermal detonator - just like Leia would later use in Jabba's Palace. (Of course, Leia used a real one.) At the start of the film, Han is wearing a white vest over a black shirt, the inverse of what he wears in A New Hope. There are several lingering shots of Han's lucky dice charm, and idea of using it as a Tragic Keepsake to remember Han by (as will eventually happen after his death in The Force Awakens) is even brought up. Maul has the same cane-lightsaber that he will use in Star Wars Rebels. At about 2:52 into the track "Savareen Standoff" on the score, listen closely and you can hear the first five notes from the "March of the Resistance" leitmotif from the sequel trilogy. Han claims to have "just made the Kessel run in twelve parsecs.", to which Chewbacca objects and Han comments "Not if you round down.", thus combining both the "Han boasts to make himself look good." and "Han really is (nearly) that good." theories concerning the scene of A New Hope. Han kills his own father-figure in the climax and holds him in his arms after striking the fatal blow. Many years later, the same will happen to Han himself at the hands of his own actual son. Enfys Nest tells Han "the war is just beginning", a line of dialogue Luke would later say verbatim to Kylo Ren in The Last Jedi.

We Will Use Manual Labor in the Future: The film shows the Kessel spice mines canonically and the first time onscreen. Both organic slaves and droids are used. It's unstated, but probably they use organic slaves because they're cheaper than droids, or can work more easily in the tunnels like the old EU had it.

The Alleged Car: The Millennium Falcon is practically a work of art when she first shows up on screen, but going through an intense firefight during the escape from Kessel, a harrowing chase through the Maelstrom by a pack of TIE fighters, several high speed collisions (including a long slide that tears off half the landing gear), and being grappled and munched by a giant space squid thing while trying to escape from a black hole, leaves her as an absolute wreck by the time Lando takes her away near the end of the film. Lando is not pleased, to say the least.

Canon Immigrant: As with most recent Star Wars material, elements from Star Wars Legends make their return. We finally get to see the Imperial Infantry, the Astra Militarum to the Stormtroopers' Tempestus Scions. Coronet Spaceport, a major spaceport on Corellia, returns from Star Wars: The Old Republic. Jon Kasdan admitted that the writers searched Wookieepedia for spaceports on Corellia and decided to use the name. To most people's surprise, Tag and Bink were meant to show up, but their scene was cut (they were properly recanonised in the novelisation, though). This is something of a surprise inclusion, as they weren't even canon in Legends. The Cloud-Riders return, still a swoop bike gang, but now with a much more noble purpose.
