1) Welcome Home, Han And Chewie
Speaking of Wookies, everyone’s favorite fuzzball makes his triumphant return to the big screen, along with his scruffy-looking co-pilot, in the trailer’s final moments.
This is the first time we’ve seen Han Solo on film in thirty years, which is exciting in and of itself. Add the fact that he’s once again next to his pal Chewie (who doesn’t appear to have aged a day), and back on the Falcon, and you can immediately count this as one of the most exciting and important moments in the Star Wars saga.
The shot itself comes with a mystery, though. Han seems nostalgic about being on the Falcon. Has he not seen the inside of the ship in some time? If so, where has it been? Daisy Ridley said that her character is a scavenger in a “spaceship graveyard,” so is it possible that the Falcon’s been left on Jakku for some reason, and is Rey and Finn’s ticket off the planet when all hell breaks loose?
Here’s my theory: Ridley’s character either finds or is in possession of the Falcon at the beginning of the film (maybe because she’s Han’s daughter?). She comes across Finn, who has either defected or become stranded on Jakku. When the two are hunted down by TIE Fighters, they make their escape in the Falcon and go on an adventure to meet up with Han, Chewie and the rest of the gang.
