Solo: A Star Wars Story - 10 Fan Service Moments That Will Make You Groan

10. Chewbacca Learns Dejarik

One of the first scenes involving Chewbacca in Star Wars: A New Hope sees him playing the chess-like board game Dejarik aboard the Millennium Falcon. R2-D2 is winning the game, but Han Solo suggests that Wookiees are bad losers and are known to pull people's arms out of their sockets in rage. C-3PO then advises Artoo to "let the Wookiee win".

In Solo: A Star Wars Story, soon after the gang of thieves join forces with Lando Calrissian and climb aboard the Falcon, Chewbacca and the group's ringleader Tobias Beckett are shown playing the game. Beckett, in one of many clear nods to the film's conclusion, advises Chewbacca that people are predictable and that a good player sees a number of moves in the future.

This is a scene that exists in Solo: A Star Wars Story solely as a nod to one of the most memorable moments in A New Hope. The idea of Beckett as a manipulator and a predictor of human behaviour had already been established elsewhere, so the appearance of the Dejarik board is merely included for fans to recognise.
