New Solo Stills

[BlodVargarna 4,041]

The fact that Kasdan (and son) wrote this goes a long way, also the description of the film as a bromance between Han and Chewie also makes me happy. Still a bit cautious, but maybe just maybe this movie won’t suck.

@Boba Rick I would surmise the Fantasy Flight development team has Executor sized NDA’s compared to mine.

I started a new thread because Entertaiment Weekly has week long articles for Solo, and wanted a clean slate.   There is a ship article coming but I have an NDA till it’s release.

How do I move a thread off topic? 

I too am under an NDA, I will have to ask about this mystery ship when next I speak with my insider.

Laying 5 quatloos that the junk between the forks is some kind of shuttle.

Mystery ship?  Not my intent in that post.

No way. There's no notable divide anywhere, and no telltale glass canopy that ships have.

This long section is one of two things: A Corellian HEMI you can thank Lando for, or just, stock cargo space that Han got rid of later to increase its raw speed.

The ‘new’ section between the forks probably gets blasted and is ejected during film.  And Han never bothered to replace it.

POST THESE IN OFF TOPIC

Why?  It’s pics of stuff in a new SW movie, that’s at least a bit relevant to new ships being released.

Or it's something that was removed. Really look at this falcon and compare. Our Falcon is chalk full of greebles, scoring, maintenance pits and so on. This thingy here? So many shapes that aren't present later.

Han was very much into cutting stuff apart and rerouting things. In a bizarre way, the Falcon is like an ugly.

Hilariously, this YT-1300 stock model looks very clean and presentable. Such a strange term to associate with a Corellian vessel.

The Tantive IV was very clean and sleek, the first CEC ship on screen, well the first SW ship on screen!

I for one am glad to see this "on the front page."

New Star Wars is way more interesting to me than who the top US X-Wing Tournament players are. . .even if that is more "relevant."

 

Edit:  Ah, well.

I guess I'll just surf the podcast advertisements on the main page. . .

Well, it does explain the incredulity of everyone in (1977) 'Star Wars' when they saw the ship.

"What a piece of junk!"  or "You came in that thing?  You're braver than I thought..."

Those lines really never made a lick of sense if every YT-1300 looked like the Falcon.

On the other hand, if you are used to seeing YT-1300s that look like this...

...and the ship your pilot shows up in looks like that...

Well.  Then the reactions make PERFECT sense.

Clearly a major design flaw, since everyone's ship snaps in the exact same spot. .  .

Thank you.  My thoughts exactly, in part because I want to share my own love for Star Wars and it IS a Star Wars game,  but if there are those that wanted it moved I would rather just have the mods move it like they did.

I am not sure why the trialer counts as ‘on topic’ and stills are ‘off topic’ but here we are.  I just hope people still catch these great still imagery.

At least a few fires from getting shot during adventures will really smoke up the place.  Not to mention all the ‘workaround’ tubing all over.  I’ve had too many cars ruined by kids and a wife that never take out their trash and leave food everywhere.  I can only imagine a couple of slobs like Han and Chewie using the Falcon as their flying house could junk up a brand new ship in about a week, much less 5 years.

Here’s the interior of the Mir space station for comparison:

I won’t argue that.  But I just let the mods move it to keep the peace and New Order.  I just hope folks check the off topic forum or the official Star Wars site.

All those pictures prove is the lack of imagination of EU creators.  The line about special modifications should have been the signal to show how different the ‘stock’ model could be.  Instead we got 40 years of ‘meh’.

 

also what’s up with the exhaust marks radiating from the center of the saucer rather than from the direction of flight?  Does it have something to do with gravity/EM/space tech?

Mine too! What is it with this? It’s like they want to drive around in a figurative garbage dump. But god forbid you don’t hang your coat up when you come in!!

Nah, we just never saw the Ord Angleterra export with Han on the right and Chewie on the left.
