Solo: A Star Wars Story

I think it's a scam. Some guy told him to put a body kit and a spoiler on the Falcon and it will go really fast.
Meh. Most real hot rod cars don't age rapidly because they don't get driven very much. They get driven, and sometimes hard, but rarely does one see the kind of mileage that suburban family can put on a minivan in 10 years.
I agree that the MF is looking way too new in this trailer. There's not much we can do about it. This is Hollywood where they also show wrecked or raggedy cars getting totally overhauled in a couple days' time.
We could always rationalize it somehow. Maybe the Falcon gets stolen and used hard by somebody in a different spacetime/gravity situation. Han gets the Falcon back and it's 30 years older but he's only 6 months older. Etc. (Marty McFly ended up in a 70yo Delorean by the end of the BTTF trilogy.) Excuses can be made up for most things.

To briefly summarise my thoughts on the footage we’ve seen: I’m really feeling it! This movie has my full support and I can not wait to check it out.
I’m hoping for good dialogue, near-misses, fist fights and speeder chases. Cool armour, weapon, droid, vehicle and costume design and a couple chuckles.
Call me easy to please but I don’t think of Star Wars as dogmatically as some people here seem to - I’m open to it being fluid and adapting to the reality that it is faced with in the present - not in the ‘77-‘83 era that, thankfully, has long-since passed.
Han is working for me, personally. I’ve never felt the same way about Lando as everyone else seems to. Everyone seems to really appreciate how ‘smooth’ he is. Doesn’t do a thing for me, smooth guys don’t move my needle a single micron.
Oh, and who cares the Falcon was a bit different early on than it ends up in A New Hope? Showing the character’s effect on his environment is another insight into the character itself. Visual storytelling, it’s a beautiful thing.

You're easy to please.
ESB front landing gear boxes ... jezz
So Han remove these before ANH and then add them later again before ESB.... really.
Or - it could be the ship Han thinks he wins, but Lando swindle and Han get a much older and more beaten ship from Landos lot.
Or - Han picks a much older and more beaten ship from the lot when he wins. So him and Chewie could disappear more easy from the Empire.

Trailer leaves me pretty ambivalent, no bad or good feelings... Will check this out, but not expecting much.
However it seems you guys forgot all about the differences between each OT movie, the Vader suit, sabers and so on, that were changes made because reasons, but were never meant to be explained in-universe. Just subtile design changes because the Director/Art director/Prop master thought it would look better. But in-universe, it's still meant to be the same object, and the General Audience wouldn't notice any changes except eventually that it looks a bit better.
The reason the MF is so new and pristine looking is most likely a heavy handed visual clue to show the GA that this is a prequel/origin story, nothing more, no convoluted theory here.

The leaked Lego set of the MF configuration seen in the trailer is specifically named "Kessel Run Millennium Falcon", so I'm not sure, even though it would be the best scenario imo. Hopefully it doesn't all just come off accidentally as the Kessel run progresses, because I'd like to think Han made every modification himself with a purpose.
The Ship of Riddles keeps on giving!

In my head cannon, Han told Chewie to remove the extra lunch trays while he was out womanizing.
Han comes back the next day and yells at Chewie, "I said LUNCH TRAYS, not Gear bays!".
Whrooong!

Han is broke and heavily in debt to the Hutts before ANH.
One reason the ship is not properly cared for... Anti-Wookie armor-all for white leather is expensive.
He strips and pawns parts from his own ship for cash.
Gets all the reward for rescuing the Princess.
Doesn't pay off the Hutts but buys back parts of the Falcon.
Fixing the ride comes before removing the death mark.
That is why he and Chewie are doing so much maintenance on Hoth.
He doesn't want to flee the Empire without half his ship.

Shortly after acquiring the Millennium Falcon, Han Solo receives a "care" package of cleaning tools in the mail from his dear old mother:
Dear Son,
It was lovely visiting your new ship the other day but I must be blunt... that Wookiee friend of yours is most untidy. At one point I caught him wiping his paws on the brand new seat covers. If you're not careful, you will most certainly end up with a pigsty that no self-respecting girl or future princess will want to set foot in.
Love,
Mother Solo
