eggs in solo a Star Wars story before we
begin we publish new content every day
so be sure to subscribe to our Channel
and ring the bell to get notified about
our latest videos for this list we’re
taking a look at references plot details
and cameos you might have missed in this
Han Solo origin story if you haven’t
seen the film yet consider this your
spoiler alert number 10 the Tam tel
screech disguise during the Kessel heist
Quan and his crew disguised themselves
as slavers in order to fit in Woody
Harrelson’s Tobias Beckett can notably
be seen wearing a mask made of Gondar
tusks
if this getup looks familiar that’s
because it’s the same costume Lando
Calrissian wore in Return of the Jedi
[Music]
assuming the alias of Tam tel screech
Lando kept his face mostly concealed
while infiltrating Jabba the Hutt’s
palace in an effort to free Han it’s
good to know this disguise came in handy
for our heroes more than once there’s a
lesson to be learned here as far as
fashion goes though Lando should just
stick to his closet of capes you got a
lot of guts coming here after what you
pulled number 9 Hans Imperial origin not
Imperial Army they’re thieves here to
steal equipment for a job and I want it
in the beginning of solo our titular
hero signs up with the Galactic Empire
in order to escape his pursuers
although Han has high hopes of becoming
a pilot he winds up working as an
imperial servicemen on the planet min
bon
Hans luck turns around when he
encounters a Wookiee named Chewbacca
whom he frees from captivity do you know
190 years old look great the Canon
version of han and chewie first meeting
is actually quite similar to the one
introduced in the original expanded
universe while it doesn’t play out the
exact same way the Star Wars legends
version also sees Han and listening for
Imperial service after stopping a
commander from torturing Chewie Han
leaves the Empire and a beautiful
friendship begins number 8 han versus
han han solo is not only one of the most
iconic characters in a galaxy far far
away but in all of cinema so it’s pretty
funny to think that some casual audience
members can’t seem to get his name right
even after all these years in the films
most people correctly pronounce his name
as han I used to be every once in a
while however somebody will slip up and
accidentally call him hand Lando in
particular seems to prefer calling his
old buddy han rather than han the
filmmakers poked fun at this in solo
when Lando and Han first meet han Lando
condescendingly messes up his name on
purpose ask you a question captain
Calrissian anything him
that’s hot okay that’s okay number seven
Lando’s gambling Oh what have we here
Lando spends a good portion of this
movie at the card table showcasing his
early days as a charming gambler you
play before a couple times yeah captain
Lando Calrissian
han Solo while he ultimately loses the
Millennium Falcon to Han Lando still
walks away a big winner
quite literally Lando notes that he
actually won the deed to an entire moon
which is exactly how he gained control
of Cloud City later in his life did you
win your ship plane card I like this kid
the crafty card player also mentions
that he doesn’t like mining which is an
ironic when you consider the fact that
Cloud City is one of several two bana
gas mining colonies on the planet bespin
Lando likely could have just sold
control of Cloud City but the title of
Baron administrator probably sounded too
enticing
number six the Millennium Falcon’s
transformation
chewie when we first see the Falcon in
solo
it appears much cleaner and sleeker than
you might recall the most evident
difference is the bow of the Falcon
which has an escape pod installed this
plays an integral part during the Kessel
run although not in the way you might
think Lando also mentions that he made
several modifications might wanna buckle
up most notably equipping a satellite
dish and a turbo laser on the bottom of
course the laser is destroyed as our
heroes thwart off TIE fighters and in a
subtle nod to Return of the Jedi the
dish gets stripped away via gravity well
[Music]
hence why the Falcon looks different in
the og Star Wars trilogy well you tell
them that Han Solo just stole back the
Millennium Falcon for good number 5 the
cargo container throughout solo we see
our young protagonists pick up all the
tools and skills he’ll need to become a
scruffy looking smuggler Ron’s primary
mission in the film revolves around Co
axiom of valuable starship fuel that
could either give the Empire an extra
boost or help jumpstart a rebellion to
hide the Co axiom han and his crew used
cargo containers that you might
recognize
boy it’s lucky you had these
caterpillars using force month I never
thought I’d be smuggling myself in this
is ridiculous
goes on to use the Falcons secret
compartments for many of his future
smuggling jobs they prove especially
beneficial in a new hope when the Falcon
gets caught in the Death Star’s tractor
beam and our heroes take cover to hide
from Imperial scanners number four
Kira’s fighting style the latest in a
long line of badass female characters
Kira can both talk and fight her way out
of a sticky situation when asked about
the combat moves she demonstrates during
the Kessel heist she says that it’s
called teras kasi this fighting style
originally appeared in the expanded
universe playing a key role in various
comics and video games this isn’t the
first time teras kasi has been exhibited
in the official canon as the elite
praetorian guard tasked with guarding
supreme leader snoke in the last Jedi
are also trained in this martial art now
if we could only get a masters of teras
kasi reboot with Kira as a playable
character was not strong with this one
for those who’ve only seen the Star Wars
movies
the name aura Singh probably won’t ring
any bells anyone who’s done their
homework however will know that aura
like many EU characters essentially
started out as a background character
before becoming a more prominent figure
in the expanded universe don’t count on
it the Jedi don’t carry grudges
this bounty hunter has also been
featured in the official Star Wars Canon
teaming up with Boba Fett during the
Clone Wars in a revenge plot to
assassinate mace Windu in solo Lando
mentions that Becket was responsible for
killing or Assange well technically he
just pushed her and it was the fall that
killed her we’d love to see a spin-off
comic depicting that confrontation
number two the gold dice Hans golden
dice are one of the most significant
symbols in Solo these Lucky Charms were
initially seen hanging in the Millennium
Falcon’s cockpit in a new hope
referencing George Lucas’s previous film
American Graffiti while the dice were
missing in the Empire Strikes Back and
Return of the Jedi
they eventually resurfaced in the last
Jedi during the final act Luke reunites
with Leia enhance her Hans dice now
technically a projection of the dice
when kylo Ren stumbles upon the chance
cubes later on he’s forced to reflect on
how his father died through their
appearance in solo the dice are given
more weight within the Star Wars lore
real handless after obi-wan kenobe
chopped Darth Maul in half
audiences assumed they’d seen the last
of the villain when Maul made a comeback
in the Clone Wars animated series though
it opened the door for him to return in
other Star Wars projects nevertheless
his cameo and solo still came as a total
surprise
once Kyra seizes control from dryden
boss she doesn’t hesitate to contact
Maul who’s now sporting a pair of
cybernetic legs while the scene doesn’t
last long
it could be hinting at more appearances
from Maul in the future
we’d definitely be down for a Darth Maul
spin-off building up to his last stand
in Star Wars rebels look what has become
