I'm good with Vader. Why not? He was awesome in Rogue One.

Vader on a Star Destroyer, commanding a blockade or something, Han eluding him somehow in the Falcon.

****ing awesome scene with a lot of fun potential.

Yeah, I'm much more interested in seeing Vader cameos in films set prior to Star Wars: A New Hope than I am in any kind of appearance in anything after Return of the Jedi.

I have no idea what it's supposed to be but Ron Howard just posted it on Twitter

He tweeted this three times but in this version, he used the caption.

I'm guessing it's an entrance to the Spice Mines of Kessel.

Oh hell yes.

Hell. ****ing. Yes.

If we get a Kessel run in this movie my cum is going to be all over the movie screen.

I think it's pretty clear that KK made the right call by firing Lord & Miller Andy and brining in Ron Howard.

I'm getting more stoked about this movie each day.

Corellia, Chewie, Lando, the Falcon, Darth Vader, the spice mines of Kessel and possibly the Kessel run.

If Alden Ehrenreich can act, this movie will be amazing.

How could you not clearly see that this movie would center around the Kessel run?

I didn't. I figured this movie would be about Han leaving the Empire and rescuing Chewie.

The only thing ever mentioned about Han's past was that line about the Falcon doing the Kessel run in "less than twelve parsecs". This is why I hate the idea of character based prequels.
I'm sure they'll start the movie with him leaving the Empire and include him saving Chewie from something bad, but it's sooo predictable that the movie would be based on the only thing we know about Han's past.- The Kessel run
I suppose I shouldn't complain. These movies are meant for little kids to learn about trade embargos and things of that nature.

Oh yeah, Han has to piss off Jabba at some point in the movie. (Would that be predictable?).

He's going to make his Kessel run and then dump his spice at the end, pissing off Jabba.

Although, actually....it might be a little early in the character's development for that. It seems that happened fairly briefly before A New Hope.

It might be better if he just does something minor to earn Jabba's ire as a comedic moment.

I bet that's the first part of the movie.

Actually, I'm thinking it should go like this:

Act 1 Han at the Imperial Academy. Ditches. Captured.

Act II Han at an Imperial Prison. Befriends Chewbacca. They Escape Together.

Act III Han has no life. He puts what few credits he has left in a game of Sabaac, takes the Falcon from Lando, decides to become a smuggler, makes the Kessel run.

There is your Han Solo origin story.

He has to dump his cargo at some point to piss off Jabba.
