    Let's discuss the potentially many "firsts" that SOLO could present.....

    1. The first SW movie without a traditional orchestral score

    2. The first SW movie without a Jedi OR a Sith in scene....or a light saber.....

    3. The first SW movie to NOT start in space (wager on this....)

    4. The first SW movie without R2D2 or 3PO? (although I've wagered against this...)

    5. The first SW movie with a female wookiee

    6. Our first look at Kessel and Corellia

    7. Our first look at a certain stock YT-1300 freighter (unmodified)

    What else?.......

    3. No.

    4. Maybe

    5. Was there a female Wookiee in ROTS?

    6. Yes but live avtion.

    OK hold on, you had to screen-grab ROTS and look way down in the lower right corner to a blotchy spacecraft that kind of maybe looked like the MF.....that's a reach.....

    1. I hope not. The music is something that makes Star Wars feel Star Wars-y. A little bit of experimenting is fine but it should stay close to the John Williams style.

    2. Probably. Although Maz could cameo and she is at least a force user.

    3. Another one where I hope not. This one doesn't matter as much though since there won't be a crawl.

    4. Probably but they did force them into Rogue One so who knows. Maybe a certain Alderaanian senator will be making a humanitarian stop at Kessel and we'll see his two droids.

    5. Confirmed. Unless one of the random ROTS Wookies was a female but for simplicity sake we won't count them.

    6. Confirmed.

    7. Presumably.

    I'll add:

    8. The first vehicle with wheels.

    9. First Imperial clone.

    10. First live action Sabaac.

    11. First live action Pyke.

    12. First female main antagonist.

    9. Ok.

    10. Yes.

    11. Ok.

    12. Ok.

    Completely forgot about those. You can add Rogue One as well since the Clone Tank was used as a prisoner transport in the beginning of there movie.

    I think the main word in @Lock_S_Foils statement is "unmodified" that mean, the MF nose is filled and is not a fork.

    Actually in ROTS, the MF we can briefly see over the Senate spaceport is a forked-nose one:

    while the MF we are shown in the Solo trailer is a filled-nose one:

    1. whilst elements of what i've heard in the trailers is a bit.. hmmmm.. as long as the score contains a large spoonful of epic i'm happy however original it might be.

    2. whilst i suspect one may be thrown into the background somewhere.. i'm not bothered at all whether we see these things. it's not what this movie is about.

    3. it's never bothered me... but i bet it does start in space @Lock_S_Foils (and yeah i'd be happy to bet on that :p)

    4. will nobody believe me that i'm in this damn movie? 100% they are in it! (ok... 90%.. perhaps 80%)

    5. looks semi nailed on.. i'm so excited!

    6. yes, yes a million times yes! we've spoken and dreamed of that planet and that run he did in the Falcon.. i cannot wait.

    7. the thought of seeing the MF like that... seeing Han, Chewie and Lando walking around it when it was all new and sparkly will probably push me over the edge. I may need medical personnel standing by.

    First SW movie to only have six months between it and its predecessor. I'll be interested to see how long its 'legs' are after opening week.

    I'm hoping it rocks the summer, but you never know. Alls I know is it looks killer so far.

    I think it will have good legs. After people see Infinity War and Deadpool 2, they may check out Solo. Plus Solo is on the Memorial Day weekend, so that's going to help Solo out a lot. I think Solo is going to surprise a lot of people. Maybe it's just me being optimistic.

    Great thread.

    In fact R1 was the first without a Jedi or any lightsaber twirling, so we can cross that off the list.

    1. No way. ;)
    2. Possibly, but I think there will be at least an easter egg.
    3. I think it'll start with some kind of trick like pan down from space straight into the planet's atmosphere. Or pan down to reveal that the space is actually a starry night sky.
    4. I hope so, that would be a jarring shoehorn.
    5. Possible indeed, but the one we saw in the trailer could also be a young Wookiee.
    6. Already confirmed.
    7. I think the version we're going to see is already modified.

    Can't think of any new ideas, but I'll add when something comes to my mind. ;)

    ANH is the first Star Wars movie without any lightsaber twirling. Actually was there any lightsaber twirling in the OT? I can't remember...
