Enough of his upper body was still intact to continue living, he got some robotic legs, and he kept on being his nasty self until just a couple years before the events of the first Star Wars (aka A New Hope) when he was killed for real on Tatooine by Kenobi — as seen in last year’s Star Wars Rebels episode “Twin Suns.”. "[152] In other interviews, he complimented other aspects of the film, including Glover's perceptions of Lando's gender fluidity: "That kid is brilliant! In the epilogue, Han challenges Lando to one last game of sabacc for the Falcon. [72], In early January 2017, Woody Harrelson was revealed to be in negotiations to portray Han Solo's mentor,[73] and was confirmed to be appearing in the film shortly after.

As fans of Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series will know, Maul survived being cut in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Phantom Menace, built some mechanical legs for himself and understandably went a bit mad. Not regarding Han’s winning the Millennium Falcon. This is the film's rather pointed nod towards the infamous "Han Shot First" controversy that's raged in Star Wars fan circles for over two decades: in the 1997 Special Editions, George Lucas redid the cantina showdown between Han and Greedo to have the bounty hunter fire at his prey before Han landed the killing blow, thus indicating the soon-to-be-hero was only shooting in retaliation (it was subsequently changed for the 2004 DVD release to be simultaneous shot, but the core issue remained).

There’s not really a sense from this movie that he’s evolved into the guy who sticks his neck out for nobody we meet in Star Wars. There's a lot of surprises that come so thick and fast it can be hard to keep up - especially when one of those shockers is the return of a character who hasn't graced the big screen in almost twenty years - and have some major impacts on how you view the Harrison Ford iteration of Han. Han vows to return for her and joins the Imperial Navy as a flight cadet, being given the surname "Solo". When Qi’ra kills Dryden Vos (Paul Bettany), she takes over as leader of Crimson Dawn and is now the person to deal with Darth Maul. She and her band of merry pirates are starting a rebellion — the Rebellion, it seems. First, they come face-to-face with Enfys Nest, revealed to not be a vicious mercenary as Crimson Dawn and Beckett believed, but a proto-Rebel cell fighting back against the Empire-enabled gangsters who had decimated their homeworlds (including Warwick Davis' The Phantom Menace character Weazel and one of Saw Gerrera's later allies from Rogue One). [124] It opened in 43 markets on the Wednesday and Thursday prior to its US release and made a total of $11.4 million, including $3.3 million in China. Basically, Solo: A Star Wars Story ends with three storylines that could be continued in a sequel: 1) Han and Chewie meet Jabba the Hutt for the big job, 2) Qi’ra goes on a new mission for Maul, and 3) Lando finds someone new to con (and perhaps even meets Lobot!).

As for Lando, we don’t get to see where he goes next. [116], Writing for Rolling Stone, Peter Travers gave the film 2.5 stars out of 4, complimenting the cast but criticizing the lack of creativity, saying, "somehow Han Solo—the roguish Star Wars hellion famous for breaking all the rules—finds himself in a feel-good movie that doesn't break any.

Solo: A Star Wars Story reveals hidden details of Han's past - and the galaxy at large. The Falcon, badly damaged, lands on the planet Savareen to process the coaxium. In the end, Qi’ra is able to kill her former boss, finally freeing herself from his clutches. Before he dies, Beckett (Woody Harrelson) mentions a job for someone on Tatooine that obviously means Jabba the Hutt. Lucasfilm has signed Han Solo actor Alden Ehrenreich for three movies, with plans to make a trilogy of films around the character.
