Well I think in the old Canon, Han Solo started out as imperial officer out of the academy who ran into Chewbacca as a slave or something and freed him and some other Wookiees and that was how he defected from the Empire and became a smuggler. So yeah if they do something like that than maybe Vader would be involved if Han like worked on his star destroyer or something I guess that makes sense. I still think it seems unnecessary to have Vader in the movie though. The Empire must have thousands of military leaders. Actually after reading the Thrawn book it doesn't seem like they have that many large fleets at least not in the earlier days of the Empire. They have lots of smaller ships that are attached as part of a larger fleet but I don't think they have as many admirals and stuff as you would probably imagine of a Galactic Empire. |

Despite what the movies present I think the Empire focuses more on its ground force and vehicles and stuff than its Naval power because at the end of the day it's not like anybody in the galaxy can muster ships on the scale of the empire and most resistance would be in the form of small rebellions on a planet surface or civil wars and what not

Considering the divisive nature of TLJ, there's a lot riding on this movie to deliver.

Not sure I like the look of the Falcon, it's mainly those blue pieces all over that's a problem. But I like that it's a different design, there's no "special modifications" yet lol |

One of the minifigures in the new Millennium Falcon is a Pyke. That's pretty cool that we'll be seeing a Clone Wars species in live action.  |

Much better quality
I'm most likely gonna get the new Falcon and Han Solo's speeder. The builds and minifigures really attract me. Also, new Chewbacca figure!

Because the Rebels started from primarily Human dominated planets, kinda had to since most of the senate would have been purged of non humans. |

So does that TIE Fighter set confirm that Han will be an Imperial defector? It included Beckett in Imperial fashion, and he's supposed to be Han's mentor for at least part of the film. Unless they are both smugglers that are stealing from/working for the Empire? Kind of have to guess still until we get a trailer.
Also looks like Corellia will be a main setting for the film, but that makes sense, given the Falcon's make. That will be cool, since that is the homeworld of several notable characters from Star Wars.

I'd be surprised if Boba wasn't in the movie |

Like I get the galaxy is huge and there's plenty of other races besides what we've already seen, but it would make sense to at least see a Twi'lek here or a Weequay there. |

Not sure if that's in any way reliable, but it would be cool to see him and other minor bounty hunters appear in Solo. Some history with Jabba/ Boba would also be excellent, but Disney might not give Boba much screen time if they're still considering a separate anthology film for him. If there is some kind of Imperial tie with Solo/Beckett, then I think this would open the door to see Vader or Palpatine. It almost sounds too good for it to actually happen, but this film could really benefit by having those two marketed with it. There's really a lot of pre-existing characters that can fit into this movie nicely, whether it's as big as Lando or as small as a single scene/ cameo. |

Let's just throw Thrawn on the big screen  actually would fit better than Vader or Palpatine probably. And yeah I think we will see Boba and Dengar at least. Maybe Bossk and others |

Maybe Bossk and others Thrawn would be amazing to see in this. But I think that Disney may be keeping him exclusively for Rebels and a post-ROTJ animated show. Do you think this movie will show Han's falling-out with Jabba? I'm not sure if it's been announced officially when in the saga this takes place, I've just been imagining it around 10 BBY. |

Really want to see Corelia. Bet there will be a cool speeder chase there based on the sets
They could show Han injuring Dengar like he did in legends

It seems like Hans falling out with him happened when the Imperials boarded his ship and took the cargo, maybe the imperials were looking for Han specifically though if he was a defector |

Weequay are only common in underworld circles though, if there’s none of that kind of stuff I don’t see why the would appear much. And there wasn’t much underworld stuff in the recent Disney movies |

I think humans form the majority of intelligent species in the galaxy, so it doesn't bother me we see a lot of them. I hope future films can begin to incorporate more of the previously seen aliens to add a better sense of connectivity to the saga. Even with the whole Weequay = underworld scenario being mostly accurate, it seems unrealistic for the entire race to be criminals (and this concept can apply to other species and their respective environment/ stereotype too), so we should see at least one not in that setting eventually. |

If there isn't a trailer for this by MLK weekend, I'll be shocked. This film needs the time to build up its hype, and there's a lot going against it currently both in popularity and at the box office.
1. Director switch-up
2. TLJ divisiveness
3. It's an anthology
4. Competitive release date
5. Besides from leaked LEGO sets, we hardly know anything about the film
6. Recasting Han and Lando
I'll admit, the mystery is kind of exciting, but it seems like Disney is partly prepared for this movie to perform poorly (comparatively speaking) based on how they're handling it. The director change probably affected it somewhat (i.e. release of trailer), but I guess it wasn't bad enough for them to push it back to December.

I mean it's Star Wars so people will show up regardless of trailers or advertisement.... the producers know this. They don't have to release a single teaser, let alone trailer and it would still be a box office hit I bet.

Almost every sentient alien species comes from one planet it seems... Rodians are from Rodia, Twileks are from Ryloth, etc. Humans seem to have multiple home planets or are at least much more diversified |

it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
