ST Millennium Falcon in E7

A gambling debt needed to be paid off

 

well in the Han book he mentions gangs after him and his ship and one of the gangs mentioned happened to be based on Jakku, so if that gang took possession of his ship....

 

Luke used it to hide his daughter while she was a baby. He was taken away from the planet in another ship.

 

Why was R2-D2 and C-3PO bought by a completely random guy who incidentally had owned 3PO 30 years ago and the message inside R2 was found by the brother of the girl in the message and the son of the man trying to get the droids? Can't be talking about conveniences in a Star Wars movie man...

 

Stopped in for fuel and a slim Jim!

 

Do we know what Han has been doing for the last thirty years? That might explain why the Falcon is on Jakku.

 

I have always said this and according to earlier rumors Han Solo was separated from the Falcon not to much before "The Force Awakens" occurs; how it gets there is I think one of the many mysteries because the circumstances surrounding it's arrival to the salvage station where BB-8, Rey and Finn use it to escape Jakku could tell us a lot about Rey herself.

 

Because Han left it there for his daughter...

 

Honestly I think the Falcon being on Jakku is going to be one of the weaker points of the story and isn't nearly as complicated a scenario as people are making it out to be.

Apparently the intro to Smuggler's Run sets the stage for Han to potentially lose/have already lost the Millenium Falcon by a gang of pirates based on Jakku not too long before the beginning of TFA. Ergo, Han lost the Falcon to these pirates- who are then robbed of the Falcon themselves by Rey, Finn and BB-8 during the first act of TFA and run into Han during his attempt to negotiate a trade or repurchase of the Falcon back.

If Rey is Han's niece or daughter, which she probably is, then it's a coincidence they run into each other. Not necessarily perfect writing, but that seems to be the case based on the details we apparently have to work with right now.

 

Due to whatever circumstance, it was forsaken after the Battle of Jakku. Years later, broken and in a state of disrepair, it is discovered by Rey. Who immediately feels a certain affinity to it. Something she can't explain. But never the less, it's an instinct that compels her to claim the ship as her own. With the distinct aim of restoring it. Much like a Motorsport mechanic/engineer would have such a hobby to concentrate on in their spare time. Just a possibility..

The REAL jokes stopped being funny awhile ago... And it's funny that a small crowd of jaded fans annoyed at how the world treated the PT actually think this is a bad thing (real deserts etc etc) as it is EXACTLY what everyone has been crying out for! Just like the Hobbit films - Wait to see the backlash Warcraft gets... Film like the ST, Dark Knight trilogy, new Bond films etc have got it right.

Anyways back on topic...I think the Falcon is there because it was stolen from Han in the recent past as a way of bringing him into Reys story

 

I have been wondering how Bounty Hunters will get squeezed into the new films and I think you may have just uncovered the incident that kicks it off! What do you think??

 

Maybe the Falcon had to set down during the battle of Jakku because of damages it sustained. That's all I got.

 

Well, from the sound of things, I'd wager that the pirates who stole the Falcon are the ones that Rey, Finn, Han and Chewie all fight right after leaving Jakku. The pirates are there with Han to negotiate a price for Han to get the Falcon back (or try to establish that he can't get it back at all)... only for the Falcon to pop up right at their feet mid-conversation thanks to Rey, Finn and BB-8 and the negotiations with Han and Chewie fall apart rapidly.

 

But wasn't the battle YEARS before the events of TFA? Can't imagine Han has been tracking it for that long... I think it (him losing it) will be something that happens in the recent past.

 

I'm not sure which of these would upset me more;

1. The Falcon at some point in the movie has to stop because the hyperdrive is damaged
2. The Falcon at NO point in the movie has to stop because the hyperdrive is damaged

I guess I'm part of a tough crowd!

 

Yes. So im guessing that Solo has been without the Falcon for many years. That's why he said," Chewie, were home."

 

Yeah that could work... I am just wondering (because what is Star Wars without them ) how Bounty Hunters will feature in the new films...and two incidents stick out to me.

1 - Finn going awol from the First order. They may want him captured if they don't succeed themselves...
2 - The Falcon gets stolen from the pirates and they want it back (or the people responsible)

?

 

I like number 1! It's tradition. Haven't you ever had a friend that has a car that always has issues at the worst possible time?? Grrr

 

Hmmm, yeah you may be right. That line doesn't seem to be something you would say if you had only lost it for a few days... Guess we'll find out soon enough!

 

Han needed a moment and grabbed a Twix.

 

Wow, lot of angry assumptions there! Actually I think the Jakku scenes in TFA look very nicely done.
