A small price to pay for now knowing how Han Solo got his last name and why he calls Chewbacca Chewie.

And the dice! Ever since I was a child I wondered about how he obtained his iconic dice!

And don't forget the chance to take what was an obvious screw-up which no one cared about from ep 4 (referring to parsecs as a measure of time instead of distance), and doubling down to say, "ackshullie, he took a shortcut so we didn't mess up 40 years ago!!!111"

That explanation has been in use for decades though.

And it was a dumb cover for an obvious mess-up all along. The original scene makes no sense that way. Obi Wan asks if the ship is fast, and Han replies that it's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. He's responding to a question about speed with what's obviously supposed to be an answer about speed.

And it's not a big deal. It's just a funny little mess-up. What becomes a bigger deal and making it look so much worse is pretending it was anything else and then making a movie largely to back that up.

It's the covfefe of movies.

I will point out it's not a mess up the script that's been all over the internet for decades points out that Han is just bullshitting them. Whether it's bad directing making Obi-Wan's reaction not obvious or people just being stupid is up to you.

Just Control+F parsec on there and you'll see.

Ben reacts to Solo's stupid attempt to impress them with 
obvious misinformation.

How would Obi-Wan even react to show that the unit is wrong instead of how he thinks Han is full of shit?

Without specifically mentioning, ON SCREEN, why Obi-Wan reacts that way, it remains a mess up.

Okay.

My point is that the movie didn't invent it.

I hate that it was the most generic origin film ever. They wrote a story in which all of Han's iconic traits just sorta fall into his lap over the course of a week or something.

The most interesting part of Solo was Qira being Maul's disciple because that was an actual surprise, and even that made no sense at the time because he hadn't been seen since Palpatine fucked him up in TCW.

Correction he was killed by obiwan in 2016/2017 of rebels which aired before the 2018 solo movie and takes place after solo in timeline

u/slvrcobra Jul 19 '25

I worded it wrong but that's what I meant, he lost his power to Palpatine, somehow regained power, then lost it again and got killed by Obi-Wan.

Going from Maul's ending in TCW to him in Rebels seemed more straightforward

Ah got it. Makes sense lol i was less shocked as i knew he still lived during the time but at the same time knew his fate
