Solo: A Star Wars Story - What Does The Ending Really Mean?

7. What Happens

The finale of Solo, after the crew completes the Kessel Run and make it to the planet of Savareen to refine the coaxium, is a tangle of surprise reveals and double-crosses.

Enfys Nest confronts Han, Beckett and co having tracked them from Vandor-1, only to reveal that the gang aren't space pirates but instead rebels, with Enfys herself being a young girl rather than the expected older, scarred gangster type.

Han explains his sympathy to the cause to Beckett, who instead chooses to leave, only to actually go and tell Dryden Vos of Solo's plan. Han however, anticipated that double-cross, and the Cloud-Riders kill all of Vos' guards, leaving Vos to face Han and Qi'ra.

Qi'ra defeats her boss while Han goes to save Chewbacca from Beckett, but once she's alone she receives a call from the shadowy figure behind Crimson Dawn: none other than Maul, who instructs her to join him on Dathomir, with her taking over Vos' role.

Han, meanwhile, shoots Beckett for his betrayal, watches Qi'ra fly off, and then the movie ends with him finding Lando on a jungle planet and winning the Falcon in another game of Sabacc, with Han and Chewie flying off for a new job.
