“She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts, kid.”
Through time, Han Solo added some bells and whistles to the Millennium Falcon, but in Solo: A Star Wars Story, Ron Howard and his team roll back the years to a time when everyone’s favorite Corellian freighter was still sporting a solid, blocky bow.
It’s arguably one of the most exciting aspects of Solo, as the film begins at a time when the famous Falcon was still under the possession of Lando Calrissian, and, therefore, in much better condition than the battle-scarred hunk of junk that first took flight over the sun-scorched plains of Tatooine during A New Hope.
To help illustrate that transition between one era and the next, the folks over at Star Wars Underworld have shared a frankly incredible piece of artwork that brings us that little bit closer to the Millennium Falcon – both before and after the famous Kessel Run.
Pretty cool, no? For those Star Wars purists out there, the second image will really trigger a sense of nostalgia, as the broken bow is much closer to the one glimpsed in Lucasfilm’s Original Trilogy – not to mention the Sequel Trilogy that’s about to culminate with Episode IX next year.
Solo: A Star Wars Story is now available across all the usual platforms – just don’t hold your breath for Lucasfilm to green-light a sequel anytime soon. Chances are the Powers That Be will still honor Alden Ehrenreich’s three-movie Star Wars contract, only by way of a Lando spinoff or, better yet, a film dedicated to Boba Fett.
Perhaps the Jona Favreau-directed TV series (aptly titled The Mandalorian) will help get the ball rolling? Time will tell.
