Han Solo and Chewbacca make their The Force Awakens debut when they board the Millennium Falcon and confront Rey and Finn in this edition of our The Force Awakens series.
In this edition of our The Force Awakens series, the first of the classic characters from the original trilogy make their debut as Han Solo and Chewbacca meet Rey and Finn on the Millennium Falcon. The meeting is quickly interrupted by two gangs looking for money from Han Solo and the terror of escaped rathtars. This segment establishes some of the folklore around the Rebellion and the legend of Han Solo. It is another high paced segment, and we are ready for it in this episode of Podcast Stardust.
Allen Voivod from Star Wars 7×7 and author of Hyperspacing Hope joins us for this discussion.
The segment of the movie covered by this discussion runs from 36:38 to 49:20.
In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Allen’s experience with The Force Awakens and his favorite characters and scenes,
- Kylo Ren’s reaction to hearing BB-8 escaped from Jakku,
- BB-8’s dilemma in deciding to tell Finn where the Resistance base was located,
- Han Solo and Chewbacca making their iconic return and their arrival on the Millennium Falcon,
- The in-galaxy mythology and folklore surrounding Han Solo and Luke Skywalker,
- The arrival of the Guavian Death Gang and Kanjiklub (“Tell that to Kanjiklub!”), and
- The escape from the Rathtars aboard the Millennium Falcon.
