Solo Things you want to see in Solo: A Star Wars Story

Maybe the inevitable sequel will feature all classic bounty hunters.

 

I'd like to see some leftovers from the Clone Wars, like an Imperial Venator Star Destroyer or some thugs using E-5 blasters. Just small details that help connect the PT and OT more.

 

I'd like a movie version of the Scoundrels book set between ANH and ESB?!

 

The new characters NOT all dying just because "they weren't in the OT" or whatever.

 

I thought about the movie starting off with a flashback to kiddo Han, at the end of the Clone Wars or something. Maybe it's the day the war ends and all the clones are leaving Corellia. Unlikely but hey I'm all for connective tissue

 

Well, obviously, I want to see some reference to or appearance of important OT or PT characters (other than ones we know will be in it like Chewie and Lando), even if only in passing or as an in-jokey sort of thing like in RO with Dr. Evazan and his still 2-limbed buddy. Especially Vader, Tarkin, Obi-Wan, Leia or Palpatine. Maybe a young Wedge, or even a Rebels character like Ezra or Kanan. I'm guessing that it's going to be a lot like the recent Star Trek reboot with its hotshot young Kirk breaking all the rules and learning some tough lessons. I bet there's a brief but scary space encounter with Vader. Or a dressing down by Tarkin.

 

What if Vader is in the Star Destroyer chasing the Falcon? He did know the name of the ship in Empire for some reason, maybe he encountered it before..

 

Because Piett told him?

 

Nobody tells Darth Vader! He tells himself!

 

Jabba The Hutt or another Hutt

 

Han, Chewie, Qi'ra, Falcon, etc in other words, only what they have shown us. I don't expect to see Maz (Lupita isn't listed as a cast member anyway) or Jabba or Boba or Vader,or Greedo. Pretty sure this is the first of three films they have planned ( Alden's 3 film contract) so they would have written it with new characters from earlier in his life and left the recognizable villians for introduction in the other two installments. I don't expect them to cram every single OT reference in this film.

 

The thing I'm most excited to see is Han winning the Falcon from Lando. The reason I want to see this so much is because I remember back in about 1995 when the prequels were announced, this was one thing that I assumed was going to be in them. Obviously I was wrong so this will be a cool scene almost 40 years in the making!

 

Take what the movie gives you. Drop everything you "want" to see. This is the key for happiness.

 

Wretched hives of scum and villainy.

 

Seeing how Han Solo and co. did the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs is what I'm waiting for... As well as that fateful game of Sabacc in which Han won the Millennium Falcon from Lando!

Oops, I shouldn't forget about how the Millennium Falcon turns from that sleek and nice ship she originally was into the pathetic-looking but iconic Hunk of Junk that everyone calls her today!

(Seems like the movie should have been called Millennium Falcon: A Star Wars Story since she's essentially a character of her own and deserves the whole film centered around her! )

 

I want to see some of these new characters survive the movie.

 

This time I don't think there is a need to kill all of them. For Rogue One, that was more or less required since those characters are supposed to have become "a big deal" after all they have done, and this is why they had to be killed.

 

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but - of course - I'd like to see Han receiving his Imperial pilot training helmet he ultimately kept:

 

And Solo is set five years before ANH, so there's also that wiggle room.

 

I want to see Twiliks, smugglers, bounty hunters
Tag and Bink moment
Greedo and Jabba
And Nar Shaddaa although it sounds impossible

 

That's from the Han Solo five issues series. It's very good, both the artwork and the story.

 

That would be cool but hard to work. Presumably when he gets banged up on Kessel he would lose his belongings? And that helmet is not something you would put in with your toiletries.
