This is after Episode III. That was Darth Maul and yes, he was cut in half in Ep I. There is a storyline in The Clone Wars series which tells of how Maul survives and becomes a crime lord. 🙂

"Is her conscious in the ship?" You might remember a little line in The Empire Strikes Back when they are repairing the ship and C-3PO is talking to the Millennium Falcon's computer to figure out the damage. "Sir, I don't know where your ship learned to communicate, but it has the most peculiar dialect." Yeah, I think they are saying her consciousness remains in the ship.

Qi’ra leaving Han and Becketts betrayal are actually more important to Han’s development than some people realize. Remember he doesn’t know that Qi’ra decided to continue in the crime world so in his mind he believes that she never cared for him and betrayed him. Both events are the reason why Han is so different in the original trilogy. He isn’t as vibrant as he was in this film because of what both Qi’ra and Beckett did to him so he went with Becketts thing of not trusting anyone until he met Luke and Leia. Both the twins really changed him as a person and brought him back to his younger self.

It's easy to see why it was polarizing - it told the "everyman" story, without the involvement of political dealings, lightsabers, the Jedi/Sith, or even the Force. Maul's appearance to kind of remind everyone that space magic exists is anecdotal & inconsequential to the main story of Solo.

Sam Witwer voiced Maul in this movie and during his return in Clone Wars. He was such a big Star Wars nerd that he helped ensure continuity wasn't broken.

The Solo lore is that Han spent a short time in the Imperial Military. I believe he got to Captain before he was deployed to Kassykk (the Wookies planet from Revenge Of The Sith). He was one of the troopers who were ordered to subjugate the Wookies, and turn them into slave workers. He helped one of the Wookie slaves, Chewbacca, to freedom as he deserted. In return, a Wookie is required by custom to form a life debt bond with his rescuer. As such, Chewie made himself the defacto Chief of Security around Han, and his family; Leia, Luke etc. He vowed to give his life to protect Han.

The winter mountain location is in north Italy/south Austria. The desert location, island is one of the Canary Islands, west off Africa. The Cornelian shipyards, are in England, and digital ad's. The mountains are the Dolomite range, northwest of Venice. During World War One, Italy fought the Austro-Hungary Empire, up to the top of mountains in battle. (allies Britain and France, and Germany support, fought, died in the battles too) I toured the region and battlefields in 2002, with a group of British and American's....based in the town of Asiago (where the cheese origin; cows eat mountain grass and herbs!) We went up to 7,500+ in altitude to one battlefield, where trenches were made out of rock, and cannons had to be brought up in pieces on horse or soldier. Ernest Hemingway drove a Red Cross ambulance in these mountains, and wrote about in "a farewell to arms". Downrange of these mountains are Lake Como, and Lake Guarda, where filming of Naboo was done for SW-2. The Dolomite Mountains were also filmed in the fantasy KRULL in the early 80's, and the Sylvester Stallone action from the 90's CLIFFHANGER. There is a deleted scene, where Han is shown in training as an Imperial Pilot, and going up for court review, after an incident. Solo, if you notice in other films does talk the lingo of Empire Military, to gain access.

Hearing the Imperial March never gets old, a "patriotic" version during that "join the empire" announcement speech and during the short fight before we got introduced to Beckett. I now just realized that the reason why Han does that unique "hand shake into hug" thing in Empire Strikes Back is because he knows Lando cheats with cards hidden in his arm. He even did it in this movie too, and I think he took the cards Lando had and reversed it on him, using his own cheating tactics against him. Holy crap is there an accidental Back To The Future easter egg in here? Han's pal is Needles? He's from BTTF 2 and 3, and Needles in this was the best street racer on Corellia. Guess what Needles was in BTTF: a person who raced on the street. Seeing L3 die actually made me sad. Hearing her say "what's...happening...to...me......" was the saddest part. 😭😭 At least her memory is in the Falcon's navicomputer so she lives on, in a way. There's also a lot of stuff in this movie that only start to make sense once you watch The Clone Wars, like Maul surviving, the crime syndicates, etc. Finally some Solo appreciation!

This movie was based on one part of a novel trilogy. It’s too bad that the initial theater release didn’t do well, the other two books were good and could have made good films. They included some characters from the OG Star Wars movies that Han had experience with before that time. They also had developed more of the relationship between Han and Lando. Since they won’t make the films, if you like to read, I recommend them. Love your videos! ✌️😎👍💕

Yes. That is the BlasTech DL 44 Heavy Blaster Pistol that is Han Solo's signature weapon. Han would tweek and upgrade it several times throughout it's service to him. Also Yes Chewy and Han are buddies but Han saved Chewy from captivity. That's a very big deal to Wookiees. At least in Legends... Chewy owed Han a life debt because of this. Best believe he stayed with Han to ALWAYS have his back. What do they have against Droids? The answer. Droids replace organic workers. Why hire aan to work on your repair shop when you can make a purchase some sort of repair droid and never have to pay it? Why hire an administrator when a droid can do it? A nanny? A Cook or Bartender? There are droids that can do it. So while Droids are useful yes... They also can cause problems in that they take jobs from people who might otherwise be employed in their position.

She has magical powers they put droid legs on him and her magic resurrected he still alive and he’s the big boss of Crimson Dawn the second largest crime family only the Hutts are more powerful and crimson Dawn, if you watch Star Wars rebels, which is another animated series on Disney+ it takes place after a solo story after the clone wars before Soca before the Mandalorian actually before the original for the original trilogy 45 and 6 It Takes Pl. just before rogue one, actually the Star Wars rebels alliance And end up dying on tattling at the hands of why don’t spoil it for you but it’s really good.

Very painful production- Disney hired directors (Phil Lord and Christopher Miller) to do they did shtick but when he did it, Disney didn't like it, so they fired them, hired new director (Ron Howard) and pretty much re-filmed majority of the film while making revision of the film (oversimplified version), making it jumble of mess tried to be salvaged as well as it could be done. Result is bit uneven and mood changes and you can see how some scenes have different tempo and direction feel , but this film nothing compared later Disney Star Wars films, that... I cannot even describe (not without curse words to be honest). Young Lado Calrissian stole the show and the train heist was really good, so this does have it moments. All and all fun movie, but it doesn't really feel that Star Wars film to me.
