Solo: A Star Wars Story/IMDB Corrections

## Continuity

1. About 12 minutes into the film, Solo snatches a hat from the head of a child standing with his mum and sibling. Seconds later, the camera passes the same trio from the same angle, and the kid is wearing his hat. **He may have had a spare.**

## Factual errors

1. When the Millennium Falcon was sucked close to the Maw in maelstrom, it couldn't fly out of its gravity well even with its engine burning full power. However, nothing and nobody in the spaceship was affected by that strong gravity pull at all in the movie. That is against basic physical laws. Anything and anyone that is not strapped or fixed to the spaceship should be dragged to the direction of Maw. Moving around in such environment is basically impossible. **The ship is probably fitted with some kind of gravity manipulation system.**

## Incorrectly regarded as goofs

1. Unrefined coaxium can be stored without problem on Kessel, but not on the Millennium Falcon. If it can't be stored stably for very long in either location, a refining facility on Kessel must exist where the coaxium is refined and stabilized soon after it is mined. Alternatively, a refining facility exists closer to Kessel. Either way, it would seem to be easier to attack and steal from that refining facility than from the mine itself. **The unrefined coaxium on Kessel is in a cold storage room, something the Falcon doesn't have. That's the only reason why the coaxium heats up and causes a problem.**
2. The various card players all hold their hands very loose, which would allow people behind them to see their cards (and possibly communicate this information to the other players). Experienced card players glance briefly at their cards and leave them on the table. **The rules of Sabacc may require the players to hold their cards off the table. With the advanced technology of the series, players may consider it worthless to keep the cards down since technology would allow the cards to be seen from any angle, as well as through the table.**
3. Because Darth Maul is alive in this film, some believe it takes place before the events of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999), when he was cut in half and apparently killed. **According to Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008), Maul not only survived but received artificial legs, which are visible in this film. Therefore, the film takes place somewhere between the events of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) and Rogue One (2016).**
4. In Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), parsecs, a unit of distance, were mistakenly used as a unit of time ("I made the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs"). **In this movie, Han finds a shortcut through the winding maze of the Kessel Run, making the original statement correct.**
5. If Darth Maul survives, Darth Vader and emperor Darth Sidious also exist. "Always two there are, no more, no less... a master and an apprentice." There should not be two "Darth" Sith apprentices. **At this point he is no longer a Sith and simply goes by the name "Maul," therefore this is not an error.**
6. Near the end of the film, Han tells Beckett "You told Chewie people are predictable." **Beckett did not tell this "to Han." He was looking at Han when he said it, but he was telling Chewie, because Han was proving his point by being predictable.**
