Solo: A Star Wars Story - 17 WTF Moments

11. They Stole A Whole Scene From Wall-E

When we get to Kessel, we meet L3, Lando's sarcastic robo-rights advocating sidekick who uses her advocacy as a distraction for the Kessel heist to allow Han's gang to get away with the Coaxium. She leads a revolution of all of the droids in Kessel and watches with glee as they rise up against their masters.

It might not be identical, but it's hard not to immediately think of the scene in Wall-E where the hero unwittingly kicks off a revolution of broken robots against the Axiom. Even the spirit of the scene feels the same, with a faintly slapstick element in the droids stomping.

Perhaps it wasn't intentional, but it wasn't half distracting.
