Han
Solo met his fate when he confronted his son Ben Solo in The Force Awakens. It
was the first time we saw Han Solo after decades. Now Lucasfilm showcases his
origins in the new movie exploring how he met Chewbacca, Lando, and flew the Millennium
Falcon through the dark criminal underworld.Crime syndicates are competing for limited resources such as food, medicine, and hyperfuel. On Corellia the shipbuilding planet, Lady Proxima forces runaways into a life of crime in exchange for shelter and protection.
We see Han Solo running away from
the authorities and the lucky dice he placed on the getaway vehicle last seen
in Star Wars The Last Jedi. Solo reunites with his girlfriend Qi’ra to get off
the planet however she is captured while he joins the Imperial Navy where he
frees Chewbacca.
Han Solo meets Tobias Beckett who
introduces him to a life of crime and together they go on their first heist of
stealing a shipment of Imperial fuel. But their first heist runs into
complications which lands Beckett and Solo into debt with Dryden Vos and Qi’ra
of the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate. Beckett offers Dryden another way to pay
off the debt which involves stealing raw fuel from Kessel then converting it.
Dryden wants Qi’ra to be part of
Beckett’s crew to make sure nothing goes wrong. But first they need a fast ship
which only Lando Calrissian is willing to lend for a percentage. During the
heist Lando Calrissian’s droid L3-37 becomes apart the navigation system of the
Millennium Falcon which helps Han find a short cut through the Kessel Run.
The third act sees Han double
crossing Dryden, Beckett double crossing Han and Dryden, Qi’ra double crossing
Dryden, and Han killing Dryden. Qi’ra stays back and commits herself to Crimson
Dawn which is led by Darth Maul. The entire movie is a flashback of things that have already happened. From winning the Millennium Falcon, the Kessel Run, meeting Chewie and Lando. The only surprise is the leader of Crimson Dawn Darth Maul who met his end by the hands of Obi Wan Kenobi during the Star Wars Rebel series. The potential is there where we focus on Lando or Boba Fett before climaxing with Darth Maul at the end of the trilogy.
