Star Wars: Solo Trailer Breakdown - 20 Things You Need To See

12. The Sabacc Game

First off, this shot of Han is awesome, and one of the many examples of cinematographer Bradford Young's talent.

Secondly, this looks like it's going to be the game of Sabacc where Han wins the Falcon from Lando. That's one of the major beats the movie needs to hit and, combined with the other characters we can glimpse in this still and the previous shot of Lando, looks a lot like a game is going down. Indeed, that character just to the left could be the female Twi'lek who accompanied Lando at the game.

During the Cloud City Sabacc tournament, Han won by using a The Queen of Air and Darkness, The Five of Coins, The Six of Staves, and The Master of Coins, while Lando narrowly missed out on an Idiot's Array and thus the win. It took place only around 2.5 years before the Battle of Yavin, at least in Legends, but looks like it'll be happening earlier in this timeline, since the movie is set around a decade before A New Hope (though with a six-year span, it could get closer).
