They’re in there. Somewhere. We just don’t see em.

They’d still be with Anakin and Padme at this point tho. So no need.

They are tho. I can put on my tv and have them on in that almost same period.


If you mean you can’t see them?

Just wait. Reveal incoming no doubt.

I liked this, but didn't love it. It didn't really feel disjointed at all given the drama behind the scenes.

Huh? I don't think that's right. Solo takes place 10 years before ANH. Padme is dead and Anakin is Vader.

My kid brought me a picture of R2 in the space port a the beginning, but i can't find it now. It seemed like R2, but I have no idea, could have been a different color.

I thing 3PO is definitely not in it, b/c Anthony Daniels played a different part so he could claim to be in everything.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Giving his last name an origin story is the most hilarious stupidity.

It was clunky but the reason I think is this is life under imperial control. Han lives in a control zone as we know so his and many others names are probably on a no fly list so he can’t reveal his true surname to the imperial officer.

The novelisation will probably go into it more.

Hardly. I have problems with it all over the place. I’d just rather focus on the good stuff than engage in the constant complaining about everyfuckingthing all the time bullshit which seems to have infected society and somehow become the norm.

TLDR they set up control zone at the start of the film. The two leads at that point then have to bribe their way out. That tells you certain people aren’t allowed leave. For whatever reason.

I saw an R2 unit but it had orange or red accents instead of R2's blue.
