17. The Shadow Of The Falcon

By this stage, the Millennium Falcon is a Star Wars character in its own right, and a pretty legendary one at that. In Solo, we're going to see part of its own story too, with the ship playing a big part in the movie.

Early on we see Han coming into contact with the Corellian freighter, with a couple of lovely shots designed to show it off. The first has it looming over Han, a sign that it's something for him to aspire to, perhaps, while the second - with its focus on those oh-so-familiar corridors - is there to show us how brand spanking new the thing is. The hunk-o'-junk has never looked so clean, and while there may be some fudging of canon with its new/old design, it's probably worth it for how good it looks.
