Solo: A Star Wars Story - Every Major Character's Best Moment

10. Chewbacca Rips A Guy's Arms Off

Solo A Star Wars Story Han Chewbacca

At the beginning of the Kessel heist, Han (Alden Ehrenreich) and Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) are received onto the planet as slaves to be put to work in the planet's famed spice mines.

As they're escorted into an elevator by two guards, the pair make their move. Han takes out one of the guards, at which point we hear a grotesque noise and cut to Chewie, who is holding two severed arms he's just torn off.

Considering the historic franchise references made to Chewie's penchant for removing limbs, it was great to see his inner savagery finally realised on screen (especially as his ripping Unkar Plutt's arms off in The Force Awakens ended up on the cutting room floor).

To cap it all off, a bemused and vaguely disgusted Han tells Chewie, "That costume would've fit me perfectly, but that's fine."
