3. The Game Of Sabacc

The Cloud City Sabacc Tournament, which in Legends took place just two-and-a-half years before the Battle of Yavin, is likely to be one of the big moments of the film, since it's a key event in the mythology of Han Solo. A couple of different shots hint at its appearance in the movie: there's the one above, which looks like Han entering the game, and the one below of Lando, which looks like it could be during it.

The tournament is, of course, where Han beats Lando and, upon being offered his pick of ships, chooses the Falcon. Lando disputes the choice, as it's his personal ship, but eventually concedes and the Falcon passes to Han.

We see this play out in the trailer too. At the halfway mark it's Lando flying it, with L3-37 his co-pilot - they even have a cool hand gesture and everything - but by the end it's Han in the cockpit, with Lando taking a backseat.
