Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
I'm still hoping for a pirate action thriller, Han and Lando cheating gamblers out of their fortunes, running supplies then "losing" the freight in a secluded treasure room inside the crater of an asteroid.
Then they encounter a badaas who can take them both on after he finds out the pair are swindlers, the villain turns out to be a psycho torturer who does bounties for sport and destroys the prisoner instead of turning them in for the loot. Han and Lando are on their way out of the villain's play place where Han saves a wookiee from being torn apart.
This is where Lando would say "Alright ol buddy, lets make a wager: you save my skin, you keep the Falcon!" But there's at least a dozen close calls where Lando almost buys it throughout the film. Ending with a gruesome death of the pirate villain (new character, no need for #itsallconnected) Lando thanks Han, and tells Chewie to watch out for this guy, he's a real sneaky loser. Lando exists in his own adventure.
Han and Chewie are being chased from the villain's henchmen, Han checks the coordinates, the best way to lose them is through the Kessel Run, "Ready, Chewie? PUNCH IT!" It ends with our POV, the Falcon hits hyperspeed and vanishes into the stars, camera pans down, we see the Slave I coasting and then it hits hyperspeed. Cue the traditional SW ending theme
