10 Greatest Unspoken Star Wars Movie Plot Points

Solo: A Star Wars Story may be awash in on-the-nose fan service, but it also offers up some more subdued world-building and plotting, such as providing a further glimpse at the "Decraniated" - the android-looking individuals with half a head who are first briefly seen in Jedha in Rogue One.

In Solo we see that villain Dryden Vos (Paul Bettany) is using the Decraniated as servants, and while that might seem harmless enough if they are indeed androids, the Visual Guide for Rogue One reveals that this isn't quite the case.

Rather, the Decraniated are in fact injured humans who were kidnapped and experimented upon by fugitive surgeon Cornelius Evazan, who had a famous encounter with Luke and Obi-Wan in the Mos Eisley Cantina in A New Hope, before making a brief re-appearance in Rogue One.

We can infer from the Decraniated's appearance that their heads were cut in half and replaced with robotic "enhancements," in a procedure that was clearly not in any way consensual.

This is easily one of the most horrific, unspoken aspects of Star Wars lore. Who expects to see Cronenbergian body horror in a supposedly family-friendly sci-fi blockbuster franchise of all things?
