20 Most Hotly Anticipated Movie Scenes Of 2018

Say what you want about the logic of ruining the magic of Han Solo's mythology by giving him a prequel movie, but it's still going to make hundreds of millions of dollars (if not more) and it will still delight just as many Star Wars fans as Rogue One did. And that film wasn't universally considered necessary either at one point.

All through production - and even before that - the idea of us actually seeing whether Solo's claims of making the Kessel Run in record-breaking time was never that appealing. Part of Solo's mystique, after all, came from the fact that he might well have been talking himself up to impress either prospective employers or a love interest or both.

Regardless of those concerns, we're actually now going to get to see that sequence - or so hints from set pictures and tie-in toys suggest - and even if it proves to take something away from the older Han, actually seeing it happen is still going to be great.
