The folks over at Disney and Lucasfilm graced us with a second trailer for Solo A Star Wars Story last night and to celebrate we are dropping Star Wars galleries all day, starting now! First up is a set for the 3.75 Inch main line Kessel Run Millennium Falcon. This is a kid / casual focused release with gimmick features. It takes it’s look from the ship in the new movie, showing what the Falcon looked like early on in it’s days. It has plating all over and pieces that are no longer with the ship and I am sure we will find out how that came to be in the movie. The Hasbro toy comes with Kessel Run Han Solo and it features lights, sounds, rumble effects, pop-off plates when it goes into hyperspace mode, smugglers hiding spots and an opening cockpit.
Overall this is a great add for kids. I had one as a kid 30+ years ago and every youngin from this generation has a God given right to have one too. The lights and sounds are based on movement, so you can swoosh it back and forth and it will react. There are three stages of button presses that get you going faster and faster until finally it hits light speed and the panels pop off. Not to mention a separate button for missiles and lasers. Oh, and it knows when you are taking off and landing and makes sounds for that too. Bottom line – fun for kids, and adults who pretend they don’t care about this type stuff :).

So this basically exemplifies the problem with this movie, or at least part of it (as it looks to have many).
That iconic look of the Falcon? Yeah, it didn't always look like that, and we're going to show you how it got to look the way it does in the movies you actually like! I mean, that's totally what you want to see, right? Right? Guys? Why did our awful movie flop?

Seriously. Han even says in A New Hope he made a lot of personal modifications to the ship, so of course it's going to look different between when he first got it and the time of the original trilogy.
I hardly see that as a negative light on the the Solo movie.
Yeah! Now if you said notoriously bad director issues, massive reshoots and a reportedly general sense of chaos on set sure. But bad visual design? Come on, it's not like any of the other Star Wars movies included sub plots no one cares about with bad cgi the distracted from the focus of the main story.
Includes detachable space coffin for putting the corpse of the once beloved Star Wars franchise inside and launching it into the void.
It's too bad the productions costs have risen so much they can't make a better Falcon.
Just got myself an A-Wing from Last Jedi thanks to Toy'sRus clearance (RIP
)and the plastic was very white, but a bland white I'm not used to see on Star Wars toys.
Looking at the pics here, this Falcon seems to share the same kind of plastic. I hope it does'nt look too cheap on hands.
Otherwise, I'm disappointed to see the step back from EP7's Falcon, as there isn't much room for figs in the cockpit or the "lounge" at the back of the ship.
Light-ups look great though, but I refuse to pay 30$ for a bracelet sold separately to enjoy the full features.
I actually really dig how this looks. It might look a bit too new for when this takes place but the over all concept design really is slick. I may just have to get this one. Hope they do some diecast of this version of the Falcon.
I don't really understand why they made the Qui-Gon/Maul set, just how many times are they gonna redo those two and are a lot kids and fans clamoring for 5 POA versions?
The gunner station/laser cannons are a nice bonus for the Solo sets.
They reship Rose and the droids, but none of the sets that wound up Entertainment Earth exclusives?
And there's the bone-headed move that wave one only has one SOLO 2-pack. Maybe that's why the Episode 1 set, Hasbro's faith in Solo is so low.
Here's a little history lesson about the Falcon. In 1986 Kenner created a story, characters, and vehicles called The Epic Continues. Ultimately declined by LFL over time more has come out about the would be post ROTJ toy line.
They designed a pod to attach on the front of the Falcon. Called it the cargo handler.
I for one love that they went back and gave this old idea life.
