    Which "real" trilogy? The Daley trilogy or the Crispin trilogy? And that's not how canon works; Lucasfilm doesn't just drag a book into continuity, warts and all. And to be fair, the Corellian stripes were a retcon anyway; they were originally just a throwaway design for ANH, and it was the EU that felt the need to "explain" them.

    I was referring to the Daley books. Agreed on your retcon history point. Makes me want to see it on the screen no less though :)

    Between this "Han's speeder" and "Moloch's speeder" thing and the set pics of some speeders that look very much like drag racers, perhaps Han's Legends backstory of being a swoop racer is intact in canon (albeit as a speeder racer)? Or was that already known?

    Also "Han Solo (Imperial Disguise)." So his backstory as an Imperial officer may not be intact and he only goes undercover as one. Or it may be; we'll see.

    Probably not a swoop racer (cos the vehicles don't look like swoops) but Bloodline and the Han Solo comics have been leaning on him being a racing pro, most likely to pay off this part of the film. As for his Imperial background, it does specify "disguise", though he could simply be using his old Imperial uniform to infiltrate a base after he's left the academy, perhaps.

    Spoiler/speculation folks suggest a teaser Sunday or Monday during whatever NFL games are going on.

    NFL is Saturday / Sunday this weekend. The two sunday games are in the afternoon.

    Honestly, I'm calling Superbowl ad. Which, to be fair, I've called for TFA, R1 and TLJ but THIS ONE feels legit.

    I really hope if they have the Kessel run, that is set at least more than a year before the events of ANH. It would be kind of silly if he pulled it off 48 hours earlier and
    Fast ship? You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?

    Should I have?

    It's the ship that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.

    The Lego Falcon is very interesting and I really like the creativity in that design. And that is not easy on such an iconic design.

    I really hope if they have the Kessel Run, Lando does it and Han is just eliding that fact.

    Han just witnessed it from the spice mines. The Solo story is mainly him trying to kick his drug habit. It will be the most out there SW movie yet.

    So Han is a drug dealer, not a drug user. And his journey is the reverse of Walt's. It has potential, but I'd recommend a splash of Ace Ventura. He's Breaking Rebel. What is Woody's role? Is he Gus, Jesse or somebody else? Oh wait. He's Walt Jr. of course.

    Although Chewie could be Walt and Han is Jesse. Chewie always was the brains of the operation.

    Choose life. Choose spice. A random hook-up with a random alien. Space out on alien porn in a crappy hole in the middle of nowhere. Rip off a casino. Hack off bouncers. Spot of grand theft auto with a speeder. Beat up a bounty hunter. Escape. Get smashed. Steal your best mate's ship from him in a card game. Watch Alderaan holodrama with the kind of people you'll never meet up with. Shoot a moron in a cantina.

    The little spoilers via LEGO and other minor leaks online all look really fun. Honestly, just the prospect (I'm assuming very likely) or finally seeing Corellia is enough to get me excited. We really don't see Core Worlds all that often in SW, Coruscant being the notable exception. The only other two seen on screen were destroyed. :p

    Now, I just gotta keep my fingers crossed and hope to see some Duros... like the ones in Chalum's Cantina...

    I am hoping that the Atreides family makes a cameo as a potential spice manufacturer in need of good shipping pilots to transport product.

    Honestly, the fact that the EU felt there needed to be a Big Dramatic Culturally Corellian explanation for Han's damn pants will never not be stupid to me - and I say this as someone with a great attachment to most EU aspects of the character.

    I just love that a user named nancipants replied to a point about Han’s pants.

    These days, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE (Asajj, Luke, etc.), wears the bloodstripes, so the retcon has essentially been retconed in itself.

    Star Wars pants are very important. Almost as important as jackets!

    So RC-1991 told me that leaked Solo promotional picture looks like Fast and Furious, so now I really want Solo to start with a scene equivalent to this in lieu of the opening crawl:


    except with scenes of Han Solo from 4-7.
