I think it was BB-8 wearing a wastebasket that tipped 9E off, not the stolen uniforms.

Yeah I grouped the wastebasket and stolen uniforms together as “poor disguises”. I have to wonder why no one noticed Finn, considering he seems to somewhat famous for defying the first order and standing off against Kylo (the stormtrooper from Takodona knew him quite well).

How many people would know what Finn looks like without his helmet on sight? We’ve never seen Phasma with hers off. Her dialog with Finn in TFA implies it’s an infraction just to take it off while on duty.
Finn is famous within the Resistance. The FO may have even denied a trooper could ever defect. That trooper in the last movie probably knew Finn personally.

The deleted Tom Hardy scene reportedly gave some insight into that, you can find details of it around without me posting possible spoiler stuff I guess.

I’m annoyed by Rogue One’s abrupt end, if you compare it to the rest of Star Wars. I wonder if that’s going to become a Anthology thing and Solo will also end sort of abruptly.

That’d be a weird tradition to have. Seems more like a result of the story Rogue One was telling.

It’s not inconceivable for Solo to end with Han landing at Mos Eisley or going into the cantina.

It isn’t, and in fact i originally thought it would be neat if all of these Star Wars stories basically bookend’ed ANH. But after seeing the trailer, unless they have a CGI Han, i don’t see that being believable.

It kinda is though.

I think it will be open ended. It’s better to be able to continue the adventures of young Solo. The actors are young, the characters are loved by the public, why not a series of film ?

Han: Hey Lando! You kept your promise, right? Not a scratch?
Lando: Well, what’s left of her isn’t scratched. All the scratched parts got knocked off along the way.
Han (exasperated): Knocked off?!

Twenty years from now, Solo will have been retitled: Solo: Episode IV, and they’ll be working on the sequel Solo Trilogy.

How old was Han Solo in ANH?

29/30

Yep, although in general Star Wars is vague with character ages and timeframes. I actually don’t even know where this number comes from but it seems to be generally agreed upon.

They might change his age in the new canon to be closer to Ford’s real age in the OT. Then again, both Obi-Wan and Mon Mothma has aged pretty weirdly in the current canon, so they might not bother to alter anything.

I expect the last line to be:

“Clear to land at docking bay 94”

They told me they’d fixed it!

I’m sorry if it sounds mean, but I don’t know why someone would expect that. It really doesn’t make any sense to me why someone would be like “ooh I hope Greedo’s in it” or “I hope bla bla bla” or almost everything that was in that bingo (shared in some thread as a joke). I mean, it’d be really nice if that’s how it ended, a nice nod and stuff, but I don’t really know why would you expect it. This is a movie set 5-10 years before Star Wars, so yeah. Again, sorry if it sounded mean.

Ehrenreich signed a three-film deal, I believe. They’ll almost certainly leave room for a couple more stories between this and ANH (I really doubt they’d do an interquel).

I don’t see why you wouldn’t.

It wouldn’t make any sense. Also it’d be stupid.

You’re not expecting some stupid pandering fan service? That ‘we’re all fine’ quip in the trailer was only the beginning.

And we came full circle. IMO the only fan servicey moment in Rogue One was the cantina guys. You could try to argue the Vader scene and 3PO and R2, but I don’t think you’d convince me. So no, I’m not expecting “pandering fan service”, since that doesn’t happen since TFA, and it only happened in TFA because it was necessary.
