Solo: A Star Wars Story - 10 Best Moments

2. Han Shoots (Beckett) First

As Beckett attempts to make off with the coaxium, he's confronted by Han, and a standoff ensues. After a few brief words, we see Beckett slowly reaching for his gun, but Han quickly shoots him square in the chest.

In his dying words, Beckett commends Han for acting so fast, and assures him he really was going to learn the valachord after the job was done.

While the nod to Han shooting Greedo first might be a little on the nose for some fans, it was nevertheless a tidy way to convey Han's dying youthful optimism and burgeoning ruthless cynicism, clearly brought on by both Beckett and Qi'ra's respective betrayals.
