Solo: A Star Wars Story - 17 WTF Moments

5. The Final Gambit Is Just Silly

Han and Qu'ira doing the old double switcheroo is pretty fitting in a universe where absolutely nobody is actually decent and morally incorruptible (aside from possibly Chewie), but there's still no getting around the fact that the plan to give Dryden the real Coaxium to draw out Beckett as a double-agent is just weird.

For a start, how did Beckett and Vos manage to predict that Han would side with the Cloud Rider rebels in the first place? They barely knew him. If the plan was to kill their rebellion, why not just actively try and kill them using Vos' vast resources and entrapping them with another Coaxium heist or something?

And Han handing over the real Coaxium depended on him not being killed by Vos until after he'd had a chance to reveal Beckett's deception. This is usually fine with cliched villains, but Vos simply isn't cut from the same cloth: the first time we see him he's killing a supposed associate to clean up some mess.

He's unscrupulous, malicious and malevolent and assuming he wouldn't just kill Solo as soon as he delivered the Coaxium was so illogical it was stupid. And there's no way it should have come off even to the level it did.
