10. Are There Any Lightsabers?

Rogue One very nearly became the first ever Star Wars movie to feature not a single lightsaber, but was bailed out by Darth Vader in the home stretch. With Solo seemingly focusing even less on Jedi and Empire characters, then, will the entire 135-minute runtime pass without even the hint of a saber?

Prediction: It's a tough one, honestly. We know that crime lord Dryden Vos (Paul Bettany) sports some rather lightsaber-esque brass knuckles, but the marketing has given virtually no indication of conventional lightsaber action.

Then again, Ron Howard could very well give the iconic weapon a cursory appearance during Han's travels, even if it's basically a glorified Easter egg in the background of a scene.

We'll go with yes, but it'll be the most minimal, cursory showing possible just to keep fans happy.
