Solo: A Star Wars Story - 52 Easter Eggs & References Explained

14. "I Know"

Empire Strikes Back Han I Know

A wonderful exchange between Han and Lando is also an uproarious reference back to one of the best moments from the original trilogy.

Lando tells Han, "I hate you", to which Han replies, "I know." It's a fantastically funny return to Leia declaring her love for Han before he's frozen in carbonite at the end of Empire and Han stoically replying, "I know."

Harrison Ford improvised the line - which originally called for him to reply with "I love you too" - and made instant cinema history, which was lovingly recalled here.
