Några av sakerna man per automatik förväntar sig av en ursprungsfilm om Han Solo är första mötet med Chewbacca, vänskapen med Lando och såklart den kända "Kessel-rundan" som Han Solo försöker skryta med i A New Hope. Problemet var dock att denna fiktiva hyperrymd-detalj inte var etablerad när Lucas skrev filmen, något som pappan i författarduon bakom Solo: A Star Wars Story - Lawrence Kasdan - ville utforska:
"I was drawn to take the job because it suggested to me that I get to see how he's formed, I get to see how he met Chewie — because this is really a love story between them — and very quickly I thought, 'We've heard a lot about the Kessel Run. I want to see it'"
Hans son Jonathan Kasdan var inte lika förtjust i idén och ansåg att det var en utmaning att göra Kessel-delen till en sammanhängande sekvens:
"When he said that, I said 'Really, do we have to?' Because it's such a complicated bit of logic, and solving it was really challenging. We spent a lot of time arguing about how it could work and how the language of what Han says in that one scene shot years ago that you know George Lucas was just sitting there thinking, 'This sounds cool: "I did it in 12 parsecs"' — could be flushed out into a fully fledged coherent sequence that was satisfying and fun. I'm thrilled with how it came out, but it was one of the daunting elements of this always"
Hur sköttes denna sekvens i filmen, anser du?
"Mindre än tolv parsecs, baby!"
