10 Easter Eggs You Might Have Missed In Solo: A Star Wars Story

Solo A Star Wars Story is finally here, and as you might expect, it's full of easter eggs, references and callbacks to the previous adventures set in the galaxy far, far away. Being a prequel that fills in the early years of the scruffy-looking nerf herder, now played by Alden Ehrenreich, it gets to pick up and tie together, or at least be inspired by, many storylines and characters from various movies, TV shows and even old EU novels.

A Big Shot Gangster On Tatooine

When her and Han are planning on running away from Corellia, Qi’ra warns him that it’s dangerous due to slave traders often pinching kids on the run. For example, she mentions the Hutt cartel. This is, of course, the criminal organization run by Jabba the Hutt.

Jabba doesn’t ever get a namedrop in Solo: A Star Wars Story, but he’s alluded to several times after this. When he pretends he’s leaving towards the end of the film, Tobias Beckett says he’s moving on to a new job working for a “big shot gangster” who resides on Tatooine. Again, we all know who this is referring to.

Now piloting the Millennium Falcon with his best pal Chewie, Solo ends with Han remembering what Becket said and deciding that he might as well try out for that job this big shot gangster is planning and travels to Tatooine. Thanks to A New Hope though, we know that this ends badly for him, as he manages to tick the giant slug off.
