This isn't to say Han won't fly the Kessel Run in the film (Kessel is a confirmed location), he'll just have to settle for being a little slower.Ĭhris Agar is a senior movie/TV news editor for Screen Rant and one of Screen Rant's Rotten Tomatoes approved critics. Based on marketing, it looks like that'll be the case, since the Conveyex heist is something all-new to canon.
#Han solo parsec movie#
While Solo will undoubtedly have some connections, some viewers would certainly appreciate a movie that throws some curveballs and primarily tells a story audiences are unfamiliar with. One of the fears about Solo when it was first announced was that it would just be a string of original trilogy references, depicting several events alluded to in the previous movies. However, if true, it would be a refreshing development. It's important to point out this is just a theory of ours based on the text, which is left somewhat vague. Regardless, since Taka is likely even a little older by the time Han wins the Falcon ( Solo isn't starting with that fateful sabacc game), it seems likely the 12 parsecs record was set before Solo became the ship's captain.
Taka would be around 3 or 4 when the spinoff picks up, which is young enough for an adult to consider someone "barely born," but not quite an infant. The present day of Last Shot is three years after Return of the Jedi, meaning it's set roughly 18 years after the start of Solo (which spans Han's life from 18-24 years old). Lando says, "You were barely born when that run happened." Depending on how we want to interpret that line, it's plausible the Kessel Run took place before Solo even begins. The fake Han, whose name is Taka, tells Solo and Lando they're 21-years old. When discussing the Falcon with the fake Han, the real Solo remarks Han is "Captain of the ship that made the Kessel Run in twelve parsecs." Lando's retort is very interesting: The two head to Frander's Bay on Chandrila, where an exhibit hall listing includes a "Han Solo," who funnily enough is a young pilot posing as Han to get more clients. Because their task is off-the-books, they're forced to hire a pilot for their ship. Last Shot, a new Star Wars canon book that was just published, takes place in a post- Return of the Jedi world where Han and Lando Calrissian embark on a mission together to right some previous wrongs they made in their younger scoundrel days.

Fans have theorized this is the Kessel Run, though that has not been confirmed at this point in time. Trailers have showcased the ubiquitous "TIE fighters chase the Falcon" set piece, this time taking place in what appears to be a space cloud.
