I'm pretty tired of the last few years of star wars inundation and kinda numb to any of the new movies, but the live show has me a little bit interested. TV has gotten to the point where it can afford to be different, moreso than lumbering blockbusters. Hopefully the episodic, 40 minute installment format lets whoever is working on it be a little less tethered to the beats the movies have to hit

SPOILERS

Film starts with text, not really a crawl

Han and Qi'ra are trying to leave Corellia. They are boyfriend and girlfriend, and they kiss.

They steal something they can use to bribe an Imperial officer with so they can escape. "Some worm" guys chase after them in those speeders from the trailers. Han and Qi'ra reach the Imperial hangar.

They try to bribe an Imperial officer to escape Corellia, they get separated, Qi'ra gets captured by gangsters, Han hides in a recruitment center where he joins the Imperial army to leave Corellia. He says his name is just "Han" and that he's alone...Imperial guard gives him the last name "Solo"

3 years later

Han is fighting on Mimban. He sees Beckett and his team including Val and Rio Durant. They are disguised as Imperial troops, but aren't fighting. Han tries to tell on them because they won't let him join their crew, but Beckett rats Han out first, saying that Han is trying to desert the Empire.

Han gets thrown into a prisoner camp, where Chewie is. They escape. Beckett's crew sees this and they decide to "rescue" Han and Chewie and let them be part of their crew

They try to steal fuel cells from a train from the trailer. Enfys Nest and the Cloud Raiders are also there, trying to steal it. Val sacrifices herself. Rio Durant, who is the pilot, also dies.

Now Han must pilot the ship (not the Falcon) He drops the fuel cells and they blow up.

Han, Chewie, and Beckett now go to Dryden Voss' hangout. He is the gangster they are trying to sell fuel cells too. Beckett comes up with a new plan, saying that there is some on Kessel.

Qi'ra is now Dryden's girlfriend. She tells them that she knows Lando has a fast ship they can use.

Han, Chewie, Beckett, Qi'ra go see Lando.

Han plays sabacc with Lando to win the Falcon. Han loses because Lando cheats, Han knows he cheats, but can't prove it.

Lando and L3 fly the Falcon with the crew to Kessel. Han and Qi'ra have another moment alone, they kiss again.

L3 tries to save robot prisoners, but gets shot and teared in half

Chewie tries to free Wookies. Doesn't seem like he knows them.

The crew escapes Kessel with the fuel cells. Han must fly the Falcon now, because Lando is sad L3 is basically dead. They use L3's "brain" to help navigate through a black hole and the tentacle monster from the trailer

The fuel cells from Kessel are unstable, so they have to go to a new planet to make them stable some how. Enfys Nest and her gang are there. Turns out she is a 16 year old girl and they are trying to help some "rebellion" and needs the fuel.

Not clear if Han and the gang give them some or what, doesn't seem like any Cloud Raiders die

Lando flies away with the Falcon.

Han, Chewie, Qi'ra, go back to Dryden Voss. Beckett stays behind for some reason, it sounds like he thinks Dryden Voss may kill him.

It turns out Beckett double crosses Han and tells Dryden Voss that the fuel cells are fake (even though they are real)

Han, Qi'ra, and Chewie fight Dryden Voss and his guards. Voss and his guards die.

Han goes after Beckett for revenge. Qi'ra stays behind, using a hologram message to speak with her actual gangster boss: Darth Maul

Darth Maul is a crime lord now. Ray Park is the actor, but they use Sam Witwer's voice

It sounds like Maul is only in hologram form and is in the movie for less than a minute.

This is the last mention of Qi'ra. It is unclears what happens to her

Beckett tries to talk his way out of trouble with Han, but Han shoots first and kills Beckett

The movie ends with Han and Chewie going to a new planet to find Lando.

Han hugs Lando, similarly to how Lando hugs Han in ESB. While hugging, Han steals Lando's cheat card he kept in his sleeve.

Han goes all in on his sabacc hand, winning Lando's Falcon

Han and Chewie fly the Falcon, stating they need to go to Tattoine to meet a "big time gangster" presumably Jabba the Hutt, although Jabba is not mentioned by name

No Boba Fett

They're accurate. And

Maul makes perfect sense after TCW. I'm very glad to see that Lucasfilm is willing to include canon elements that might confuse a general viewer since it demonstrates their commitment to unified canon.

I think it's less for canon and more for toy sales.

They don't need to shove him into a 30 second cameo to sell toys, he's already popular.

There is a severe lack of focus on the regular Separatists, the average beings who saw that the Republic was unfixable and just wanted freedom. Personally I hope one day we get a book about Cassian's family.

Why the fuck do they insist on all these prequels instead of just telling the fucking story chronologically. Why release a sequel that you need to release a prequel for a few years later to explain/set it up?

For all the shit they get, the prequels did establish a new generation of fans that are attached to those films.

Outside the internet I can't remember speaking to anyone about the show who differentiated between old and modern Simpsons. People love all of the show or they don't. If you aren't a (specific kind of) nerd, you probably like trash like Episode 3 and Two and a Half Men.

Everyone I know that likes classic era Simpsons just says "but I haven't watched new episodes in a long time" which is their way of saying they like old Simpsons but not new Simpsons.  To be fair, internet nerds are the only ones I've ever heard draw a line in the sand on seasons though.
