    If it's either of those two, I hope it's Qi'ra that does a betrayal. Woody already seems shady enough, lol. It's just be so predictable if he betrays them.

    Personally, I'd rather no betrayal though.

    Will anybody say “I’ve got a bad feeling about this” or “never tell me the odds” in this movie?

    There’s bound to be some “double-crossing” from a certain “slimy, no good swindler” before the movie ends

    But the train and the snowy mountains planets, isnt this Kessel? Well maybe i got it wrong coz i pictured the planet differently but that was my impression from the movie (with the train boarding spice from the mines)

    SW.com databank says Kessel is a hot climate. The accompanying photo in the databank makes it look more like a desert.

    Maybe it's a desert world but one that has polar ice caps - more like Mars than Tatooine?

    Correllia though is supposed to have snow capped mountains as one large part of its landscape so the train scene could be Correllia and not Kessel.

    Since they appear to be using some aspects of Legends, those train systems were also very common on Correllia.

    thanks! didnt know that but feels more in line with what i had imagined. Then is the "western by the sea" planet shot at fuertaventura actually Kessel? the images hace a first or second act feel but maybe it's just the editing of the trailer.

    Turns out the Kessel photo is from an episode of Rebels. I haven't seen the episode yet but if I can figure out which one it is to watch it more planet shots will be there.

    Yeah I am guessing that shot may be Kessel.

    Still looking for that Rebels ep.... it has tall rock formations but there is no beach like shot in the cartoon. That aspect of the ep takes places mostly on a landing platform.

    It wasn't snow... it was ash.

    [ I don't actually believe this.]

    That picture from the Rebels episode takes place on a landing platform where they rescue Wookies being dropped off as slaves so I interpret that as being the portion of the planet that houses the spice mines.

    The beachy sand appearance location could be elsewhere on the planet.

    So.....the train sequence. Whatever that train is hauling Beckett's team are stealing some of it. The unit that Beckett is standing on has some cables attached to it, none of the other sections have. When we see Han in the flying crane he releases one of those segments and it explodes when it hits the mountain. If you look at the moment just after he pulls the release lever you can see four of the Bonehead gang on swoop bikes are attached to the train segment by cables and they get pulled down with it.

    So Beckett stows aboard the train, Solo and Four-arms (maybe more) catch up in their flying cranes and drop cables which Beckett attaches and then he unlatches the cargo units. Obviously the Bonehead gang have their eyes on the prize and try to take it off Beckett's gang.

    EDIT - The size of that explosion on the mountain would indicate that it's not Spice that the train is hauling, more likely explosives, weaponry or ammunition.

    I'm willing to bet, after their potentially successful heist, Beckett then asks Han if he's in. We get the Chewie "that means yes" exchange, proceeding into the third act of the film!

    (Or maybe not I dunno.)

    That conversation is spliced from two separate scenes ;)

    EDIT - The Galactic Empire used Mimban as the site for an Imperial energy mining operation.

    Mimban boneheads...

    Thanks but I found it. Layed out the ep a post or two down from the one you just quoted.
