What I find amazing is the fact that we’re still learning about things that were first mentioned 41 years ago. We’ve finally seen Corellia and Kessel in the new canon. It really goes to show how expansive the universe is that George created.
Matex First it was Force Awakens with the T-17s, then it was Rogue One referencing the T-15s becoming obsolete, and now we have a mention here saying the T-15s suck. We just straight up went back in time with this easter egg
So, this should be the complete history of the easter egg: Solo: A Star Wars Story: T-15 sucks Rogue One: A Star Wars Story: T-15 are getting obsolete Episode IV: A New Hope: T-16 are introduced Episode VII: The Force Awakens: T-17 are mentioned Tell me if I missed anything.
I admit, I was one of the guys that said, "nobody asked for this film", but I must say, I was exceptionally surprised! Solo was fantastic! My biggest hang-up was the fact that Harrison Ford is my favorite actor, and I didn't think anyone else could play Han Solo. I am happy to say that I was wrong! :)
Gitdat Gator I liked movie second best of the 4 behind rogue for me. But l3 kills it for me. I was cheering when it died it was a Kennedy troll of fans to me. Didn't like it at all plus the Pando,Soyrissian stuff. I wish they would leave quality characters alone. I always liked lando because he was a ladies man even Han calls him an old smoothy, and gets him away from Leia. So this stuff messes up his character forever to me now.
I liked it much better the TLJ but it was a little slower paced than I like & L3 was terrible. Completely hated the character & the odd relationship with Lando was a little annoying (But not as bad as in the Last Shot novel). Other than that it was a great movie. Some of the scenes with the water worm boss lady & Molloch chase scene we a bit odd as well but 200 x better than Canto Bight scene in TLJ still LOL
John Piner how? I think it makes him more of a Smooth talker, he can seduce anything and anyone now, plus this was just a writers opinion and hasn't been overtly confirmed outside of the interview he said it in. Either way you should be fine
It's not like L3 was portrayed as that competent. She didn't necessarily plan ahead. But I think you give her a hard time. Eccentric, maybe a little delusional at times.
So do I. Ray Park had the iconic look but Sam Witwer's VO work is incredible and brings so much more to the character. Now he's another sith lord who is played by one person and voiced by another like Vader.
Sir Draco in The Phantom Menace he already was voiced by another actor, Peter Serafinowicz, and while I think Peter is a great voice actor I really enjoy that they used Sam Witwer to further connect with the shows, and it keeps the same actor/different voice dub too
Riley Morris I got the “special cameo from TPM” spoiled and during the movie I thought it was Aurra Sing. Which was great so I was surprised at Maul’s inclusion.
I get it, obviously, but i'm saying the fact that Beckett doesn't even get to shoot is a nod to the original Star Wars theatrical release where Greedo doesn't even get to shoot Han his shot was edited in later
But Greedo shoots first.... I think Han shooting first is better for character but I don’t care about character. I think it’s hysterical that a bounty hunter (shoots for a living) misses at point blank range.
Did no one notice how Qi-Ra emphasizes the word Eminence while talking about her boss to the pike leader on Kessel, Eminence also being the title of the clone wars episode where Maul unites the crime syndicates
So is this the first time anyone mentions Han’s father?? That was new for me! Having him be a guy who *builds* YT model freighters was very interesting to me!
Yes! I like that bit of background a lot! Makes the Falcon that much more important to Han since his father used to build the class. Don't think that was in the EU, but I like it nonetheless.
I caught a few more :D 1) when Han is walking past the children in the tunnels on Corellia, you can hear one kid say they got an idiot's array during their Sabac game, the same winning move Lando used in Rebels. 2) two troopers on Mimban say something like "T16's are out, I guess we walk from here" a continuation of "the two stormtrooper's discuss landspeeders" Easter egg. 3) The Falcon looses two of its front landing gear, explaining why it goes from 5 pads in ANH then back to 7 in ESB. 4) An astromech-like droid but with caterpillar tracks can be seen which has been lifted from Rogue one concept art. 5) L3-37 (or a similar style droid) can be seen at the space port on Corellia.
Han also mentioned Coronet, the capitol city of Corellia in legends. And the speeders he used to boost when he was 10 is a reference to a speeder in the game Star Wars Galaxies
The shot at the end where we see a shot from above with trees before it cuts to Lando at the end That shot was from the ORIGINAL Rouge one teaser. The one that was only shown at Celebration when rogue one first got announced
What I like is most of those references and easter eggs are noticeable by fans, but very subtle for casual movie goers. Its not too much "in your face" just the perfect execution....maybe maul one is bigger, but its probably because it will lead somewhere instead of being just a funny cameo.
Even fans may not catch some of these, only some of the more devoted fans would catch the references to the old EU books. Nonetheless, this movie was clearly filled to the brim with old canon tidbits, probably why I enjoyed it so much!
Just saw the movie again, I think that you missed a reference. In the beginning of the movie Rio says something along the lines of, "there's no such thing as luck," which really felt like a callback to when Obi Wan Said it in A New Hope
When it's mentioned that crimson dawn has a "fragile alliance" with the pikes, it's referring to the pikes unwanted alliance with maul during the take over of mandalore
There is also references to the first world war and a reference to the real mauser c96 (wich is the irl base of the dl-44 prop) when we see Beckett taking of the carabine barrel and the stock of the dl-44 before giving it to Solo. Irl the mauser c96 can be "converted" into a carabine by adding a barrel attachement and the wooden stock wich also serv as the holster for it. And also the heavy sniper that some Mimban stormtroopers carry is irl the "Tankgewehr m1918"
My son and I noticed two more references not mentioned here -- The Zam Sisters are mentioned at the same moment that Bossk is referenced -- I'm assuming Zam Wesell is one of these sisters. And the Imperial Arrestor Cruiser can be seen in the Imperial Recruitment Centre on Corellia in the Imperial Hologram over the door was we hear the Imperial Anthem.
Aden Sargeant It's ironic because Tag and Bink are always just off screen or disguised as to be unrecognizable when involved in iconic Star Wars moments, thus their removal from Solo can be seen as a continuation of that tradition.
There was a 007 movie reference you missed out. Before Han sat at the Sabaac table and his first meeting with Lando, the latter mentioned an imperial spy that he thought she loved him, an obvious reference to The Spy Who Loved Me.
There's a SUPER deep-cut reference in Solo about Han's blaster. Before he gives Han the DL-44, Beckett has it in a sniper configuration, with a stock and a long barrel extension. The original DL-44 prop was made from a Mauser pistol. The same prop gun made into Han's hero blaster was also used in Frank Sinatra's "The Naked Runner." In that movie, the Mauser has a stock and a barrel extension. If the prop guys did this intentionally, they get some HUGE credit from me. Adam Savage and Grant talk about it in a "One Day Build" of a DL-44 over on the "Tested" channel. (RUclips is being wierd and not letting me paste the link.)
There were a lot of lines that were easter eggs too, like Han saying "I've got a good feeling about this" (as a form of irony) and Lando's constant, purposeful mispronunciation of Han.
When Val is arguing with Beckett about how they should have asked Bossk to join in on the job she also mentions the twins from the Cantina in A New Hope
During some of the Kessel breakout shots, you can make out what appears to be Moroff from Rogue One running away from the camera. It could be another of his species but with the appearance of Two Tubes...my money is it was him as well.
Thanks for this video, it was well done. My wife and I saw Solo today and we really enjoyed it and I caught a few of the Easter eggs-mentions of Bossk and Aurra Sing-but had no idea there were this many. When Han is silhouetted from the back as he first meets Lando I think that's a nod to the first look we have of Indiana Jones from Raiders Of The Lost Ark. I think Solo was a much better movie than I was expecting and I hope people give it a chance.
So in the movie it is said that there are 5 prominent crime syndicates.The first four are probably Black sun,Pikes,Hutts and crimson Dawn.But what's the fifth?The Zann consortium could be recanonised,but am I missing a canon one?
The area of Savareen Han and the gang land on and is full of conical statues is called the Pnakotic Coast, according to the Official Guide. That is an HP Lovecraft reference to the Great Race of Yith, who are conical time-traveling aliens, that lived in the city of Pnakotus in Australia on Earth, and whose self-historical tome is called the Pnakotic Manuscripts.
At one point on Kessel during the riot someone says "Come on Zaalbar" to one of the wookies, Zaalbar being the wookie's name in the Knights of the Old Republic game.
Didn't hear a mention, but its AMAZING to finally see a character address the oppression of droids in the star wars universe and doubly so that it was from a droids perspective.
Super great video, loved the point outs and all the legends connections. I saw however that the big white furred beast from Rouge One with the breathing apparatus was in one of the breakout scenes on Kessel. Unless it was another of his species. Again, super great video and excellent work.
They mention idiots array at the opening of the movie. Not sure if i spelled that right or if its really an easter egg but it was the name of an episode in star wars rebels i think.
An Idiot's Array is a type of winning hand in Sabaac. In the EU, it was the hand Han used to win the Falcon, and also was used to win a planet once. The Rebels episode is a reference back to the EU, so the reference is much farther back.
6:39 Teräs Käsi is Finnish and means steel hand or steel arm. The main baddie in the mentioned game, Masters of Teräs Käsi, has a metal arm. WHen they made the game they wanted to use some "exotic" language and decided to use Finnish. Also the actor playing Chewbacca is from Finland.
I’m surprised to see that no one is mentioning the Stormtrooper who says “move along, move along” to one of the refugees on Corellia. Direct call back to ANH.
When you do Easter eggs for Last Shot, there is a droid named D9 and in the legends book of Darth Mauls origions, his training droid had Maul call him DeeNine
Val also mentions the Zam/Xam sisters. So it's possible Zam Wessel had sisters and Clawdites put their personal name second and their family name first. Or they're unrelated
Wow there are even more than I picked up on, they really dug deep with some of those references. It warms this fan's heart to know that that they've gone to such an effort to include these things and bring legends material into official canon.
When Beckett was taking apart the DL-44 for Han, the blaster references the Mauser C96 (the pistol basis for the DL-44), as it too has a removable stock.
Here's one that got missed: the main Wookie that helps Chewie fight on Kessel get's called by name by one of the other slaves. It's Zaalbar, from KOTOR.
Teräs Käsi is Finnish and it translates to a steel arm or a steel hand. As a Finn and a Star Wars fan i was pretty surprised when they brought up the term in the movie.
What happened to L3 reminded me of the radio play for ESB. When 3PO is talking about conversing with the Millennium Falcon’s computer he says “she” has a very peculiar dialect, that’s she’s quite intelligent but can be rude at times. It totally sounds like L3.
I'm reading the Vader comics and I believe it had a 2 year jump during its series, but they were still tracking down the last of the jedi to complete Order 66.
Wasn't there something in legends about how one of the Death Stars was built in a region of space known as the Maw which was a large grouping of singularities that were extremely difficult to navigate? I can't remember which book it was.
Indeed there was! That was in the Jedi Academy trilogy by Kevin J. Anderson. In old Legends continuity, many of the scientists working on designing the Death Star were housed in the Maw Installation at the center of the black hole cluster, and it played host to a fully-functional Death Star prototype (I believe that the actual Death Star was constructed over a planet called Despayre). Han discovered the Maw Installation, under the command of Admiral Daala, in Jedi Search, after escaping from Kessel with Kyp Durron. In New Canon, the Death Star was primarily constructed over Geonosis before being moved for security reasons shortly before Rogue One.
Nice video. I did see Colin Cantwell's first Star Destroyer concept in the Imperial recruitment hologram video at the beginning of the movie. I was in formation in between two Episode 4 Star Destroyers. There is also a Hot Wheels version of the ship under the Solo line in stores currently.
This Easter Egg may already of been mentioned but I just spotted it on my second viewing. As they’re setting off for Kessel and L3 plugs into the Falcon she starts to shut down and hits herself in the head to reboot, so the same way the Falcon starts to shut down in Empire as they’re fleeing Hoth and Han hits the panel Fonzie style to boot it back up. Love the little details like that...
It was not really an Easter Egg but I think L3 becoming the Falcon’s navigational computer should’ve been mentioned along how she used to be a R3 droid.
I haven’t yet seen anyone talk about this one Easter egg that I thought was pretty cool. When all the slaves are rebelling and Han tries to get to the ship you can see the back of Moroff running. If you don’t remember him he’s a part of Saw Gerra’s militia. The tall bulky creature that’s white and furry. Maybe it’s not exactly him but it’s cool to see that species again!
On Corellia, you can see r2 and c3po in the background, in separate scenes but they're there, unless they are just two droids that happen to look the exact same.
I also noticed an OST Easter egg too. When the Millennium Falcon is trying to escape the TIE fighters in Kessel, the music is a direct copy pasta from when the Millennium Falcon was fighting the TIE fighters after escaping the Death Star in a New Hope. :D Also, the motif played when they see the Star Destroyer in Solo is the original Imperial Theme in a New Hope too!
Do you think enfys nest could be Bo Katan. It's a theory I've had and I think it could work. She said that the crimson Dawn attacked he homeworld. We already know maul took control of mandalore. Also Bo became a rebel against the empire on mandalore nearer to rouge one so she could run this small rebellion against criminals in solo.
It’s possible. I considered that, too. The issues with that are that the Tag and Bink we’re shown are in officers’ uniforms, and one of the troopers sounded like Steve Blum’s (Zeb) voice, and we know he wasn’t one of the two in the photo. That said, any time I watched Rebels, if I saw a pair of stormtroopers mess something up or get outsmarted by the Ghost Crew, I would always joke that it was probably Tag and Bink. And since Steve voiced many characters on there, including stormtroopers, it’s definitely something to consider. If for nothing else, just to chuckle at.
With Galactic Nights at Disney being last night, and revealing new info about Galaxys Edge, we can say that Lando said he has been to Black Spire Outpost (which is where Galaxys Edge Park will take place out.) So Lando has been to Galaxys Edge!
I think tag and bink were the officers in the beginning of the movie on Corellia that grabbed the other guy in line while Han was enrolling in the Imperial academy.
There is another easter egg: in Corellia, when Han joins the empire, you can see, on the screen of the imperial office, the Mcquarrie’s first model of a Star Destroyer
*Patiently waiting for a live action movie about the siege of mandalore* Ahsoka with 501st battle with Maul would be cool. Plus Hayden can play anakin again. It would be nice to see an interaction in live action between the master and the apprentice.
When Val asked about getting either Bossk or the twins, my head Canon has them as Tia and Gia from the Demolition game for PlayStation. Prove me wrong, I'll wait.😋 Thanks for everything, and keep being the most accurate and complete Star Wars source in the web!
There is a scene in empire where 3po is talking to the falcon and says, “I don’t know where your ship got such a peculiar dialect”, and in solo l3’s personality is plugged in to the falcon.
He was kicked out then got out on Mimban cause of what he did. According to the Visual Guide, Mimban is the worst of the worst assignment to get in the Empire. Tons of people who were in “Debt” with the Empire (for example, some guy had a Degree but had Money Debt was put on Mimban to help pay for that debt) and they were put on Mimban
Because number of kick-outs from Academy is high. Not only for disciplinary reasons but also quality, so if Empire already put some cash in to recruit they don't throw away them or kill them... they just reassign them to the most miserable job they know... to Imperial Army infantry.
Lando's shirt at the end of the movie has a bunch of manta ray looking things on it. Those are a McQuarrie design and in Legends they were called thranta and were native to Bespin.

You missed one, L3 was uploaded to the Falcon. In the Empire Strikes Back C3PO says that the falcons computer is rude,
im stoked that someone else caught this! well played, sir.
Check out his other videos he mentions this
I thought that was cool that they did that. It definitely makes since to me.
They even share the music theme
"I don't know where your ship learned to communicate, but it has a very strange dialect"
Yep, caught that as well. Nice little touch.
Lando's Skiff Guard outfit was a brilliant easter egg that I just adored.
GuanoLad i loged his cape room eben more
Just how many outfits did Lando have hiding aboard the falcon? Haha.
What I find amazing is the fact that we’re still learning about things that were first mentioned 41 years ago. We’ve finally seen Corellia and Kessel in the new canon. It really goes to show how expansive the universe is that George created.
TheBurgerHut7 Kessel was already in Rebels, Corellia in SWTOR
@@TrajGreekFire i thought tor wasn't in the new canon
@@1heKing It isn’t, there’s currently barely anything old republic related in canon currently
@@lucaswest5078 that's what I'd thought. the only one i could think of was a cut reference to darth reven in solo
While on Mimban, you can hear some stormtroopers talking about T-15s, which is a popular background talk in Star Wars.
Matex Wasn’t it in A New Hope and Rogue One?
Matex First it was Force Awakens with the T-17s, then it was Rogue One referencing the T-15s becoming obsolete, and now we have a mention here saying the T-15s suck.
We just straight up went back in time with this easter egg
Exactly! Im surprised it didnt make it to this video.
Isn't there similar background chatter when Obi Wan is disabling the tractor beam in ANH?
So, this should be the complete history of the easter egg:
Solo: A Star Wars Story: T-15 sucks
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story: T-15 are getting obsolete
Episode IV: A New Hope: T-16 are introduced
Episode VII: The Force Awakens: T-17 are mentioned
Tell me if I missed anything.
I admit, I was one of the guys that said, "nobody asked for this film", but I must say, I was exceptionally surprised! Solo was fantastic! My biggest hang-up was the fact that Harrison Ford is my favorite actor, and I didn't think anyone else could play Han Solo. I am happy to say that I was wrong! :)

John Piner so basically you’re a misogynist creep
I like how Maul was the same actor in the phantom menace, yet voiced by Sam Witwer.
So do I. Ray Park had the iconic look but Sam Witwer's VO work is incredible and brings so much more to the character. Now he's another sith lord who is played by one person and voiced by another like Vader.
I loved that as well, and Sam Witwer is great at voicing Maul in animated form so it was a nice touch and made total sense.
Sir Draco in The Phantom Menace he already was voiced by another actor, Peter Serafinowicz, and while I think Peter is a great voice actor I really enjoy that they used Sam Witwer to further connect with the shows, and it keeps the same actor/different voice dub too
Ray Park never voiced Maul, so it's fine.
I was smiling every time there was a Clone Wars reference. I love the Clone Wars TV Show...
The clone wars is pretty great just like clone wars adventures ;)
Dawson Tomes ;)
Me too.
Doge Fishron :D Also, Fishron. I don’t like him, he’s pretty tough to defeat.
Dawson Tomes a fellow CWA player
"We can't spend the entire video in this room" yes, yes we can Alex. Give us a video of everything inside the room even if it's 3-4 minutes long
So Maul wasn’t the only Phantom Menace cameo in the movie!
Riley Morris I got the “special cameo from TPM” spoiled and during the movie I thought it was Aurra Sing.
Which was great so I was surprised at Maul’s inclusion.
I think most of us want to know how that slave made his way to being a cloud rider
Connor Jacquet I imagine it wasn't all that different to a farmboy becoming a hero of the Rebel Alliance.
_Mit_Whit _Gaming_ true true
And can we add that Han shoots first as a small easter egg?
He doesn't shoot first, he's the only one that shoots just like in the original. Beckett didn't get to pull his trigger
Josh first in the sense of before
I get it, obviously, but i'm saying the fact that Beckett doesn't even get to shoot is a nod to the original Star Wars theatrical release where Greedo doesn't even get to shoot Han his shot was edited in later
Han always shoots first.
But Greedo shoots first....
I think Han shooting first is better for character but I don’t care about character. I think it’s hysterical that a bounty hunter (shoots for a living) misses at point blank range.

I caught a few more :D
1) when Han is walking past the children in the tunnels on Corellia, you can hear one kid say they got an idiot's array during their Sabac game, the same winning move Lando used in Rebels.
2) two troopers on Mimban say something like "T16's are out, I guess we walk from here" a continuation of "the two stormtrooper's discuss landspeeders" Easter egg.
3) The Falcon looses two of its front landing gear, explaining why it goes from 5 pads in ANH then back to 7 in ESB.
4) An astromech-like droid but with caterpillar tracks can be seen which has been lifted from Rogue one concept art.
5) L3-37 (or a similar style droid) can be seen at the space port on Corellia.
1) he/she said Fool's Array, no?
Han also mentioned Coronet, the capitol city of Corellia in legends. And the speeders he used to boost when he was 10 is a reference to a speeder in the game Star Wars Galaxies
I love that Warwick is playing the same character he played in episode 1.
Warwick use smite!
BigBadBen Racing And he did the same in Episode IX, reprising Wickett ;)
Don't you mean War Wick
The shot at the end where we see a shot from above with trees before it cuts to Lando at the end
That shot was from the ORIGINAL Rouge one teaser. The one that was only shown at Celebration when rogue one first got announced
The Zahna Sisters were referenced by Val alongside Bossk.
What I like is most of those references and easter eggs are noticeable by fans, but very subtle for casual movie goers. Its not too much "in your face" just the perfect execution....maybe maul one is bigger, but its probably because it will lead somewhere instead of being just a funny cameo.
Xavier .Garand He dead in rebels
yeah i know. But the way they announced it, maybe they'll put him in another movie before that "tattoine trip"
Even fans may not catch some of these, only some of the more devoted fans would catch the references to the old EU books. Nonetheless, this movie was clearly filled to the brim with old canon tidbits, probably why I enjoyed it so much!
Yeah, Rogue One had a bit too many of those that were in your face.
Also, it's Maul, everybody knows about him in SOME capacity.
Just saw the movie again, I think that you missed a reference. In the beginning of the movie Rio says something along the lines of, "there's no such thing as luck," which really felt like a callback to when Obi Wan Said it in A New Hope
Solo was SO much better than what I thought it was going to be. I loved it
Teemo4Life oooh sorry, I forgot some randomer on the interner can change my mind just with a RUclips comment
GeekyMedia I'm going to use that next time when someone says my opinion is stupid.
When it's mentioned that crimson dawn has a "fragile alliance" with the pikes, it's referring to the pikes unwanted alliance with maul during the take over of mandalore
There is also references to the first world war and a reference to the real mauser c96 (wich is the irl base of the dl-44 prop) when we see Beckett taking of the carabine barrel and the stock of the dl-44 before giving it to Solo. Irl the mauser c96 can be "converted" into a carabine by adding a barrel attachement and the wooden stock wich also serv as the holster for it. And also the heavy sniper that some Mimban stormtroopers carry is irl the "Tankgewehr m1918"
My son and I noticed two more references not mentioned here -- The Zam Sisters are mentioned at the same moment that Bossk is referenced -- I'm assuming Zam Wesell is one of these sisters. And the Imperial Arrestor Cruiser can be seen in the Imperial Recruitment Centre on Corellia in the Imperial Hologram over the door was we hear the Imperial Anthem.
Ironic that Tag and Bink were cut. Hopefully we can get a comic of all the ways they were involved..He he
Trevor Cutler How is it ironic? Where is the irony?
Aden Sargeant It's ironic because Tag and Bink are always just off screen or disguised as to be unrecognizable when involved in iconic Star Wars moments, thus their removal from Solo can be seen as a continuation of that tradition.
Neverhoodian exactly
when i watched the movie i thought that Tag and Bink were the two stormtroopers who were watching Han and Chewbacca fight
domxthexdon
here's where they were supposed to be.
comicbook.com/starwars/2018/05/26/solo-a-star-wars-story-deleted-scene-tag-and-bink/
There was a 007 movie reference you missed out.
Before Han sat at the Sabaac table and his first meeting with Lando, the latter mentioned an imperial spy that he thought she loved him, an obvious reference to The Spy Who Loved Me.
Or a reference to the Lando comics? maybe both?
Han “armed” a thermal detonator the same way Leia did in ROTJ
TheMiamidolphin22 I would not be surprised if Han told her that story some time before Empire! 🤣
7:26 so true! And I'll add that, when Beckett inject the unrefined fuel into the Falcon, this is reminiscent of plutonium in Back to the Future too!
There's a SUPER deep-cut reference in Solo about Han's blaster. Before he gives Han the DL-44, Beckett has it in a sniper configuration, with a stock and a long barrel extension.
The original DL-44 prop was made from a Mauser pistol. The same prop gun made into Han's hero blaster was also used in Frank Sinatra's "The Naked Runner." In that movie, the Mauser has a stock and a barrel extension. If the prop guys did this intentionally, they get some HUGE credit from me.
Adam Savage and Grant talk about it in a "One Day Build" of a DL-44 over on the "Tested" channel. (RUclips is being wierd and not letting me paste the link.)
There were a lot of lines that were easter eggs too, like Han saying "I've got a good feeling about this" (as a form of irony) and Lando's constant, purposeful mispronunciation of Han.
When Val is arguing with Beckett about how they should have asked Bossk to join in on the job she also mentions the twins from the Cantina in A New Hope
This video shows some of the many reasons why Solo was not only a good movie, but a GREAT Star Wars movie.
During some of the Kessel breakout shots, you can make out what appears to be Moroff from Rogue One running away from the camera. It could be another of his species but with the appearance of Two Tubes...my money is it was him as well.
Thanks for this video, it was well done. My wife and I saw Solo today and we really enjoyed it and I caught a few of the Easter eggs-mentions of Bossk and Aurra Sing-but had no idea there were this many. When Han is silhouetted from the back as he first meets Lando I think that's a nod to the first look we have of Indiana Jones from Raiders Of The Lost Ark. I think Solo was a much better movie than I was expecting and I hope people give it a chance.
When Lando tells L337 to leave the mean man alone she says "they don't even serve our kind here" referencing the bartender from the Cantina in ANH
What about the z-6 rotary cannon?
And I think I saw a Gozanti on Mimban.
So in the movie it is said that there are 5 prominent crime syndicates.The first four are probably Black sun,Pikes,Hutts and crimson Dawn.But what's the fifth?The Zann consortium could be recanonised,but am I missing a canon one?
ΔΗΜΟΣΘΕΝΗΣ ΜΠΑΛΑ Could it be the one on Corellia? Lady Proxima's one?
ΔΗΜΟΣΘΕΝΗΣ ΜΠΑΛΑ we need the Zann Consortium
You could argue that the Death Watch is one due to having been part of the Shadow Collective
The Zann Consortium is canon and was a thing in Star Wars Uprising, so I can see that being the fifth one.
Droid Gotra?
“We can’t spend the whole video in this room” yes, yes we can.

At one point on Kessel during the riot someone says "Come on Zaalbar" to one of the wookies, Zaalbar being the wookie's name in the Knights of the Old Republic game.
Didn't hear a mention, but its AMAZING to finally see a character address the oppression of droids in the star wars universe and doubly so that it was from a droids perspective.
Super great video, loved the point outs and all the legends connections. I saw however that the big white furred beast from Rouge One with the breathing apparatus was in one of the breakout scenes on Kessel. Unless it was another of his species. Again, super great video and excellent work.
Lando: I hate you.
Han: I know.
That cracked me up.
They mention idiots array at the opening of the movie. Not sure if i spelled that right or if its really an easter egg but it was the name of an episode in star wars rebels i think.
Riley Gagnon it was, it was the episode where Lando beat Zeb using said combination and won chopper
They actually said Fool's Array, which is something on a Sabaac game, if I am not mistaken EDIT: I was mistaken
Lucas Carvalho oh i didnt know that was a thing
An Idiot's Array is a type of winning hand in Sabaac. In the EU, it was the hand Han used to win the Falcon, and also was used to win a planet once. The Rebels episode is a reference back to the EU, so the reference is much farther back.
Forget what I said, watched again... idiot's Array, just like Kavin Norris explained there
6:39 Teräs Käsi is Finnish and means steel hand or steel arm. The main baddie in the mentioned game, Masters of Teräs Käsi, has a metal arm. WHen they made the game they wanted to use some "exotic" language and decided to use Finnish. Also the actor playing Chewbacca is from Finland.
Zhaggysfaction *FINLAND!*
Allen Murallo Where’s the leak ma’am?
I’m surprised to see that no one is mentioning the Stormtrooper who says “move along, move along” to one of the refugees on Corellia. Direct call back to ANH.
I think Black Sun was indeed mentioned in Solo but I cannot recall when or by whom
LEB1138 Ki'ra said at the spaceport at the start that they could be sold to slavery in the Black sun or crimson dawn.
Statwars the Clone wars tv series
I’ve been looking forward to this
When you do Easter eggs for Last Shot, there is a droid named D9 and in the legends book of Darth Mauls origions, his training droid had Maul call him DeeNine
Val also mentions the Zam/Xam sisters. So it's possible Zam Wessel had sisters and Clawdites put their personal name second and their family name first. Or they're unrelated
Wow there are even more than I picked up on, they really dug deep with some of those references. It warms this fan's heart to know that that they've gone to such an effort to include these things and bring legends material into official canon.
When Beckett was taking apart the DL-44 for Han, the blaster references the Mauser C96 (the pistol basis for the DL-44), as it too has a removable stock.
Here's one that got missed: the main Wookie that helps Chewie fight on Kessel get's called by name by one of the other slaves. It's Zaalbar, from KOTOR.
I noticed on Kessel during the revolt there was a Gigoran who appeared to be Moroff (the big white hairy guy who was a part of Saw's rebels)
My fandom would be crap without these videos. Thanks Alex! As always, pure gold!
Bro, I love you. Thank you for stuff like this.
Teräs Käsi is Finnish and it translates to a steel arm or a steel hand. As a Finn and a Star Wars fan i was pretty surprised when they brought up the term in the movie.
What happened to L3 reminded me of the radio play for ESB. When 3PO is talking about conversing with the Millennium Falcon’s computer he says “she” has a very peculiar dialect, that’s she’s quite intelligent but can be rude at times. It totally sounds like L3.
You missed the Pink R2 droid!
What was the Empire fighting againts after that 3 years time jump?
Jedimaster Anakin Skywalker a planet and to get control of it
Jedimaster Anakin Skywalker there was many Rebel cells before the Alliance.
Galaxy is a big place, there will be always some rebellion to fight, planets to conquer of punitive expeditions to make. Or just for fun.
At first I thought it was Kashyyyk because there was a hairy creature killed.
I'm reading the Vader comics and I believe it had a 2 year jump during its series, but they were still tracking down the last of the jedi to complete Order 66.
In Corellia, a stormtrooper says "Move along" to a queue just like in ANH
Wasn't there something in legends about how one of the Death Stars was built in a region of space known as the Maw which was a large grouping of singularities that were extremely difficult to navigate? I can't remember which book it was.
Indeed there was! That was in the Jedi Academy trilogy by Kevin J. Anderson. In old Legends continuity, many of the scientists working on designing the Death Star were housed in the Maw Installation at the center of the black hole cluster, and it played host to a fully-functional Death Star prototype (I believe that the actual Death Star was constructed over a planet called Despayre). Han discovered the Maw Installation, under the command of Admiral Daala, in Jedi Search, after escaping from Kessel with Kyp Durron.
In New Canon, the Death Star was primarily constructed over Geonosis before being moved for security reasons shortly before Rogue One.
I’m kind of disappointed there was no Hondo reference
Yep
Jose Santos I was hoping for a Cad Bane line like "We should've hired Cad Bane...Well if he didn't meet his end at the hands of Boba Fett"
I recall seeing Moroff on the mining battle scene, it was only for a split second though.
Gleff I saw it too!
SAME
Ryan Connor im almost sure
i though i saw it too
Gleff in the visual dictionary it is stated that his name is senna . But it’s the same species as moroff :-)
I found it interesting they added the Imperial Army as well as the Stormtrooper core.
Nice video. I did see Colin Cantwell's first Star Destroyer concept in the Imperial recruitment hologram video at the beginning of the movie. I was in formation in between two Episode 4 Star Destroyers. There is also a Hot Wheels version of the ship under the Solo line in stores currently.
Although probably not in the UK, as I can't find Hot Wheels stuff anywhere that's not a frinking car...
Dude, your knowledge is incredible! Keep up the good work. You just earned yourself a sub!
Do any background aliens from the prequels or originals appear?
Two tubes
John Piner two tubes was created for rogue one
This Easter Egg may already of been mentioned but I just spotted it on my second viewing. As they’re setting off for Kessel and L3 plugs into the Falcon she starts to shut down and hits herself in the head to reboot, so the same way the Falcon starts to shut down in Empire as they’re fleeing Hoth and Han hits the panel Fonzie style to boot it back up. Love the little details like that...
I thought that Dryden's face was corrupted by the sith holocron. Like Lando's crew was on Palpatine's personal yacht.
This is the best Easter Egg and hidden references video on Solo!!! Wow and Thank you!
It was not really an Easter Egg but I think L3 becoming the Falcon’s navigational computer should’ve been mentioned along how she used to be a R3 droid.
What about the zahn sisters? They were mentioned along side Bosk
Frankly, if Han Solo and the Lost Legacy is referenced, I would be ALL ON BOARD for an adaptation of that book. Doubt it will ever happen, though.
I could have sworn I saw Artoo briefly on Corelia. In a dark, sweeping shot while they were trying to escape.
Josh Moore That astromech was pink. 😉
go see solo asap! this is the movie we needed after TLJ. I did like last Jedi, but this is a bit more fun and definitely less divisive.
I haven’t yet seen anyone talk about this one Easter egg that I thought was pretty cool. When all the slaves are rebelling and Han tries to get to the ship you can see the back of Moroff running. If you don’t remember him he’s a part of Saw Gerra’s militia. The tall bulky creature that’s white and furry. Maybe it’s not exactly him but it’s cool to see that species again!
On Corellia, you can see r2 and c3po in the background, in separate scenes but they're there, unless they are just two droids that happen to look the exact same.
R2 and 3PO are in Solo! They were in the Imperial station on Corellia!
I also noticed an OST Easter egg too. When the Millennium Falcon is trying to escape the TIE fighters in Kessel, the music is a direct copy pasta from when the Millennium Falcon was fighting the TIE fighters after escaping the Death Star in a New Hope. :D Also, the motif played when they see the Star Destroyer in Solo is the original Imperial Theme in a New Hope too!
Do you think enfys nest could be Bo Katan. It's a theory I've had and I think it could work. She said that the crimson Dawn attacked he homeworld. We already know maul took control of mandalore. Also Bo became a rebel against the empire on mandalore nearer to rouge one so she could run this small rebellion against criminals in solo.
This video was amazing. Thank you.
You're telling me the two troopers who watched han and chewie fight aren't tag and bink?
It’s possible. I considered that, too. The issues with that are that the Tag and Bink we’re shown are in officers’ uniforms, and one of the troopers sounded like Steve Blum’s (Zeb) voice, and we know he wasn’t one of the two in the photo.
That said, any time I watched Rebels, if I saw a pair of stormtroopers mess something up or get outsmarted by the Ghost Crew, I would always joke that it was probably Tag and Bink. And since Steve voiced many characters on there, including stormtroopers, it’s definitely something to consider. If for nothing else, just to chuckle at.
FreezerBurn14 in my head canon Im gonna say that was tag and bink, they had one of the least important jobs at the base and even messed that up lol
Apparently, it was actually at the Academy, according to Ron Howard.
Yeah this is my head canon from now on. thanks! :-)
With Galactic Nights at Disney being last night, and revealing new info about Galaxys Edge, we can say that Lando said he has been to Black Spire Outpost (which is where Galaxys Edge Park will take place out.) So Lando has been to Galaxys Edge!
What about when Rio yelled “get off my ship!” referring to Harrison Ford saying “get off my plane!” In Air Force One
anyone else catch the phrase "moof milker"?
I think tag and bink were the officers in the beginning of the movie on Corellia that grabbed the other guy in line while Han was enrolling in the Imperial academy.
There is another easter egg: in Corellia, when Han joins the empire, you can see, on the screen of the imperial office, the Mcquarrie’s first model of a Star Destroyer
Is the broken visor on Infas Nest's helmet Mandolorian? It seems to have the same T shape.
nice catch on the Major Key of Imperial March - I mentioned this in my review video and wasn't sure if anyone noticed that little bit ;)
*Patiently waiting for a live action movie about the siege of mandalore*
Ahsoka with 501st battle with Maul would be cool. Plus Hayden can play anakin again. It would be nice to see an interaction in live action between the master and the apprentice.
When Val asked about getting either Bossk or the twins, my head Canon has them as Tia and Gia from the Demolition game for PlayStation. Prove me wrong, I'll wait.😋 Thanks for everything, and keep being the most accurate and complete Star Wars source in the web!
You forgot this one:
“I hate you”
“I know”
There is a scene in empire where 3po is talking to the falcon and says, “I don’t know where your ship got such a peculiar dialect”, and in solo l3’s personality is plugged in to the falcon.
Wow I can't believe how I missed all those Sith artifacts in Dryden"s office
Q'ira was twirling around in Landos blue cape seen in Empire...the scene where Han and Q'ira finally get a moment alone...where Beckett...interrupts
This is kind of a dumb question,but I still don’t understand how Han ended up on Mimban.I mean,did they reassign him or something?
Ghost I think so. He said later to Beckett on Mimban that he got kicked out of the flight academy, which is what he originally signed up for
Oops. Didn’t see Star Commander’s comment
He was kicked out then got out on Mimban cause of what he did. According to the Visual Guide, Mimban is the worst of the worst assignment to get in the Empire. Tons of people who were in “Debt” with the Empire (for example, some guy had a Degree but had Money Debt was put on Mimban to help pay for that debt) and they were put on Mimban
I thought if he was kicked out of flight academy wouldn’t they have killed him?
Because number of kick-outs from Academy is high. Not only for disciplinary reasons but also quality, so if Empire already put some cash in to recruit they don't throw away them or kill them... they just reassign them to the most miserable job they know... to Imperial Army infantry.
This is so cool and you are awesome for telling me.
*A Solo Star Wars Story Movie Available :* 5ly.me/solosw
Maybe Tag and Bink were in the movie the entire time!
Lando's shirt at the end of the movie has a bunch of manta ray looking things on it. Those are a McQuarrie design and in Legends they were called thranta and were native to Bespin.
