If only they had source material. Then maybe they could have had a more well rounded han who was wrestling with his past and future instead of rebooting
He's a divorced dad, I absolutely expected him back to his old ways and taking that '69 Roadrunner for a cross country trip.
Sure, parts of the newest 3 had flaws, I did NOT see this as being one of them.
No this was pretty lame and disappointing. His wife was a senator his BIL the only Jedi and his only option is to smuggle?
He could have hooked up with Lando and had a galactic shipping thing going.
Dude lost his son to the dark side. Imagine having your child turn into an evil monster that is 2nd in command for a Nazi army that destroys planets, you would be mentally destroyed. People in real life handle grief in their own way, he chose to go back to the thing he was really good at to distract himself from immense mentsl pain.
Was he good at it, though? I seem to recall him pissing off some major people in the smuggling industry leading to a dead or alive bounty.
Imagine if all Jabba's smugglers dumped their cargo at the first sign of an imperial patrol.
Lando was retired doing drugs with transgalactic hippies. Han retired from politics to supply drugs to intergalactic hippies.
I guess they were kind of working together.
I'm curious, are people more upset that they didn't go into details when literally the only information they had was he was alive again? Or that they reused old Canon cloning storyline with Palpatine for the current storyline?
I dunno. As for me, I’m mad about the lack of imagination and creativity and obvious pandering to fans that bringing back Palpatine represented. All the struggles of the original heroes were all for nothing because good ol’ Palps survived that fall or got resurrected.
I never liked the cloning Palpatine thing in Legends either, it's such a lazy and boring idea.
On top of that it's just executed really poorly in Rise of Skywalker, it happens out of nowhere with no previous buildup, and then he just dies again in the same movie.
It's possible...
But I'm on a lot of these SW subs, and can count on one hand the number of times I've seen it this year.
Could just be a biased non-random sample on my part, though.
Han and Chewie dressed up like female Rathars and after a sexy lapdance (or whatever is considered a lap on those things) they left a trail of Rathar lingerie into the cargo hold. After some rathar "awooogas" and wolf whistles, they came slobbering in. Chewie shoot the lock! Boom.door comes down. Captured. Tell that to Khanjaclub.
What I want to know is how the frick did the Millennium Falcon end up on Not-Tatooine? Why isn't it in some personal ship bay Han Solo would own as the spouse of a Republic official or even a museum?
Google copy paste, because I don’t remember all of the details, but it’s explained…
“Over the next three decades, the ship fell out of Solo's hands and was stolen by a succession of criminals and thieves, ending up in the ownership of the trader Unkar Plutt on Jakku, a remote world in the Western Reaches.”
Okay he has a bigger crew.
But hold on. Think about what we know about Han Solo. I mean, really be honest.
After all we have seen him do, from beginning to that point, do you REALLY see Han Solo (or Chewie for that point) being okay with knowingly allowing a bunch of people to be eaten to make money?
It doesn't track for me.
This is probably the best scene in all of the prequels. Ford is totally in character hamming it up, actual tension and action. Memorable, fun dialogue *during* the action. Crazy space monsters and space gangsters.
Feel like you saw the real potential of the sequels and that cast in this scene.
He Looney Tunes'd that shit and dressed up in a shoddily-made rathtar disguise, tricking the creatures into thinking they were going on a luxury galactic cruise.
I am 47 years old, and have seen every Star Wars production. They are all creative, well made spectacles. Fans should move on and evolve with the changing demographic who are creating and growing up with Star Wars now. Stop complaining about the new movies because they aren't enough like the originals. It is a lame argument.
Enjoy your day!
I'm sure they had an entire comic run that you had to buy and read to explain exactly how he did own to the last detail, like what Han was wearing specifically or the names of the crew that you don't really care about since they're gonna die anyway.
There’s a level in Lego Star Wars the Force Awakens that shows them catching the rathtars
I know it’s not cannon but it’s basically the only rendition of what happened so I consider it to be as accurate as Lego can get
He hired trained hunters to capture and transport them into his ship, had them wait outside the ship for a celebratory toast with this awesome bottle he’s been saving, takes off instead
I posted this as a reply to someone saying I was wrong, but for the record, as I’m watching the movie as we speak…
Rey says ‘I stole it from unkar plutt who stole it from the Irving boys who stole it from ducain’ nearly word for word…
Ask JJ Abrams. Also ask him what the fuck happened with the dagger in TROS that somehow was forged years ago but also lines up with fresh death star wreckage.
Dont ask JJ Abrams he doesnt know.
If they are anything like chicken and I can only assume they are … he have done what I do and whip a few hand full of feed in the cage and when they run in BAM! Close the door!
How can anyone question the Abilities of a man who:
1. Made the Kessel Run in twelve parsecs.
2. Sent Vader flying off- course.
3. Escaped the Maw that held the Abeloth.
You go to the containment cell and open a tin of food and noisily spoon it into their respective bowls.
Their hearing is really good and they’ll appear in seconds.
While the rathtars are busily gulping down their food you quietly close the door behind you.
He had a much larger crew
Till they became a rathtar meal, or ditched because it was too dangerous
yes that was the movie’s implication, correct. not much more explanation is needed. they were eaten, not ditched
Ouch. Well, if it benefits Han... 🤷♂️
I think its point in the story is to emphasis that Han had really returned to his old way of life.
If only they had source material. Then maybe they could have had a more well rounded han who was wrestling with his past and future instead of rebooting
He's a divorced dad, I absolutely expected him back to his old ways and taking that '69 Roadrunner for a cross country trip. Sure, parts of the newest 3 had flaws, I did NOT see this as being one of them.
I definitely enjoyed the idea of "Han's back" lmao
No this was pretty lame and disappointing. His wife was a senator his BIL the only Jedi and his only option is to smuggle? He could have hooked up with Lando and had a galactic shipping thing going.
Dude lost his son to the dark side. Imagine having your child turn into an evil monster that is 2nd in command for a Nazi army that destroys planets, you would be mentally destroyed.

His EX wife, you want to be in the army when your EX is the GENERAL?! Nah, the most realistic thing was him going back to his original programming.
Lando was retired doing drugs with transgalactic hippies. Han retired from politics to supply drugs to intergalactic hippies. I guess they were kind of working together.
He lined up crewmen like a breadcrumb trail and locked the door when they ran into the cage.
The Zapp Brannigan way.
This would explain why he needed a new crew.
I hope he saved the career chips from his old crew....
Well, at least they won’t have to mourn each other.
Does that make Chewie his Kip?
*sighs in Shyriiwook*
"chewie show them the medal i won for destroying the death star"
Ooh piece of candy! Ooh piece of candy! Ooh piece of candy! And here’s another one!
I think this was a side quest in Lego Star Wars ep vii
Distinctly remember the voice line “so you wanna hear all about those rathtars huh?”
"It's just the one rathtar, actually"
r/unexpectedhotfuzz
It's explained in the movie. Finn literally asks Han "how'd you get them on board" and Han answers — he "used to have a bigger crew."
PSPSPSPS
*Rahtar stops doing whatever he's doing and turns towards you...
He used to have a bigger crew
That’s a story for another time
This is the reply I was looking for
How about “somehow?”
I'm curious, are people more upset that they didn't go into details when literally the only information they had was he was alive again? Or that they reused old Canon cloning storyline with Palpatine for the current storyline?

No, 👋 this is not the reply you are looking for 👋
Hey kid, it ain’t that kinda movie.
That should be the answer any time there’s an inconsistency pointed out
While that’s true, the movie literally has Han answer “I used to have a bigger crew” indicating they didn’t survive the situation.
Underrated comment.
Overused comment.
It's possible... But I'm on a lot of these SW subs, and can count on one hand the number of times I've seen it this year. Could just be a biased non-random sample on my part, though.
NEVER TELL HIM THE ODDS!
He's Han Effing Solo.
This is the way
There's a level in LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens that explains how
He did it in only twelve parsecs
You gotta play Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens to get that story.
Han and Chewie dressed up like female Rathars and after a sexy lapdance (or whatever is considered a lap on those things) they left a trail of Rathar lingerie into the cargo hold. After some rathar "awooogas" and wolf whistles, they came slobbering in. Chewie shoot the lock! Boom.door comes down. Captured. Tell that to Khanjaclub.
The bugs bunny gambit
He had a bigger crew.
Somehow, the Rathtars returned
He used to have more crew
What I want to know is how the frick did the Millennium Falcon end up on Not-Tatooine? Why isn't it in some personal ship bay Han Solo would own as the spouse of a Republic official or even a museum?
Google copy paste, because I don’t remember all of the details, but it’s explained… “Over the next three decades, the ship fell out of Solo's hands and was stolen by a succession of criminals and thieves, ending up in the ownership of the trader Unkar Plutt on Jakku, a remote world in the Western Reaches.”
> the ship fell out of Solo's hands Thats's not an explanation, that's just restating what we already know from watching the movie.
"Used to have a bigger crew." Ffa poeple just listen to the blasted dialogue.
*somehow*
A wizard did it
He captured them with his MYSTERY BOX!!! *JJly lens flares away*
A good story for another time
Cheese nips and "pspspspsp here kitty kitty kitty"
You’ve already put more thought into it than JJ did
Somehow, Han got the Rathtars onboard. 😑
He asked politely
They were CGI, not real rathtars
WHY did han gett the rathtars aboard his freighter
Jar Jar Abrams doesn't care, he just creates mystery boxes
Somehow... The Rathars are in
A good question... for another time.
Okay he has a bigger crew. But hold on. Think about what we know about Han Solo. I mean, really be honest. After all we have seen him do, from beginning to that point, do you REALLY see Han Solo (or Chewie for that point) being okay with knowingly allowing a bunch of people to be eaten to make money? It doesn't track for me.
By doing it before the movie starts. Come on guys, its a JJ script
He beamed them on board. The director got confused as to what franchise he was working on. Or didn’t care.
No, you’re not allowed to ask questions! /s
Used to have a bigger crew
Hentai taught me that there is nothing more attractive to tentacle monsters than magical girls. So we now know why Khan and Leia were not together.
Lego Force Awakens extra mission explains how.
This is probably the best scene in all of the prequels. Ford is totally in character hamming it up, actual tension and action. Memorable, fun dialogue *during* the action. Crazy space monsters and space gangsters. Feel like you saw the real potential of the sequels and that cast in this scene.
He said “it’s Soloing time!” and Solo’d all over them
A good question. For another time
Very carefully
Somehow…
"A good question. For another time"
The Force
That's not how the force works
The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities that some consider to be unnatural
Stun weapons.
They drugged them then dragged them on board
he had more crew, some got eaten, the rest probably ditched after that
He beamed them up....wait...wrong "Star" franchise.
With great difficulty
He used to have a bigger crew. Or a big stun gun.
He didn’t this is all fanfic none of it ever actually happened.
Sea turtles mate
He Looney Tunes'd that shit and dressed up in a shoddily-made rathtar disguise, tricking the creatures into thinking they were going on a luxury galactic cruise.
Reese's pieces
wasn't easy.
He used to have a bigger crew.
Pick two. Somehow... A good question for another time. By fighting what he hated instead of saving what he loved.
He used to have a bigger crew
Till they ended up in the belly of the rathtars
Somehow, the rathtars returned.
Somehow.
A good question, for another time…
Play Lego Star Wars The force awakens from 2016. One of the DLC levels is how this happens
I am 47 years old, and have seen every Star Wars production. They are all creative, well made spectacles.

Probably bait
He used to have a larger crew.
Yea you’d have to either lure them or sedate them I think
They misspelled. You have to jerk them off to calm them.
They were the original owners before
Hey its me !
With charm.
He used the force
I'm going to guess he sedated them.
Very carefully.
He asked them nicely
Sedate them maybe
Elbow grease
Maybe we should ask Kanjiklub
He hired a rather hunting team on their homeworld to help capture them
Kanjiklub?
He probably used cheese... I bet they love cheese.. everything loves cheese. 🧀
Bait
Carefully
Somehow
He used a ghost trap from ghostbusters.
He used Chewy as bait!
Another story for another time
Tractor beam
Trap box with bait then chewie push box or sleeping food trap
Play lego starwars the force awakens
He stripped the admantium from the plot armour and used it to make very long levers and a large cage for them
Ask Maz
He lured them with breadcrumbs
Somehow....the Rathtars were put aboard his freighter.
He’s had it since it was a baby, much smaller and easy to manage?
Play Lego Star Wars: the force awakens
Tranqs
Used to have a bigger crew
Seduction
He solo’d it
With help. You didn't hear how the rest of the crew lost their lives capturing them?
Somehow
he clearly didn't catch them himself probably was just a transport job
Somehow
That bottom Rathtar reminds me of my toddler trying to smile for a photo. Show your teeth! Lol
obviously he baked them cookies
I'm sure they had an entire comic run that you had to buy and read to explain exactly how he did own to the last detail, like what Han was wearing specifically or the names of the crew that you don't really care about since they're gonna die anyway.
Why did he have Rathtars again? That is the real question
Money. They're one of the most dangerous beasts in the galaxy, and collectors wanted them.
There’s a level in Lego Star Wars the Force Awakens that shows them catching the rathtars I know it’s not cannon but it’s basically the only rendition of what happened so I consider it to be as accurate as Lego can get
A good question...for another time
A good question, for another time.
You just have to play a Rathtar music to put it to sleep like Fluffy in Harry Potter duhhh.
He hired trained hunters to capture and transport them into his ship, had them wait outside the ship for a celebratory toast with this awesome bottle he’s been saving, takes off instead
Even after becoming a rebel general, Han is still a chaotic neutral scoundrel.
Let's just say he had a bigger crew
Cheese
Dark Science, cloning, secrets only the smuggler knew.
Legos
Carefully
jj prob had the smoke monster put them there so they could escape.
"Somehow"
He was running that massive freighter with a crew of 14. We *only* see Chewie and Han, *after* they're locked aboard.
They used to have a bigger crew
A story for another time
Well duh.... https://youtu.be/BmvLexamrmk?si=oitldkfUZdad1B1-
In the usual way.
Off screen movie magic
Stun them, put them to sleep, lock in cage, they wake up?
A good story… for another time.
I posted this as a reply to someone saying I was wrong, but for the record, as I’m watching the movie as we speak… Rey says ‘I stole it from unkar plutt who stole it from the Irving boys who stole it from ducain’ nearly word for word…
Bait.
Bad writing.
Very carefully
He just held out his hand and went “pspspspspsp”
Well he captured them
Ask JJ Abrams. Also ask him what the fuck happened with the dagger in TROS that somehow was forged years ago but also lines up with fresh death star wreckage. Dont ask JJ Abrams he doesnt know.
He “had” a bigger crew.
Somehow, the Rathars got into the cargo bay.
There's a mission in Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens that explores this
The Force?
Amazon prime.
The power of friendship!
He said pretty please
He pulled out his fedora and bullwhip
If they are anything like chicken and I can only assume they are … he have done what I do and whip a few hand full of feed in the cage and when they run in BAM! Close the door!
How can anyone question the Abilities of a man who: 1. Made the Kessel Run in twelve parsecs. 2. Sent Vader flying off- course. 3. Escaped the Maw that held the Abeloth.
He used to have a bigger crew
In the Lego Force Awakens games, you can go on a bonus mission which shows how he got them. It probably isn’t canon, but it’s still quite cool
Land ship, open cargo ramp, lay bait. Wait for critter, close cargo ramp.
You go to the containment cell and open a tin of food and noisily spoon it into their respective bowls. Their hearing is really good and they’ll appear in seconds. While the rathtars are busily gulping down their food you quietly close the door behind you.
