Warning: spoilers ahead for Solo: A Star Wars Story! You've been warned!
With the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story, audiences have finally had the chance to see how Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) gets his hands on the Millennium Falcon. The Corellian smuggler wins the famous vessel from Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover) in a game of Sabacc, but something about his victory raises several questions that the Star Wars franchise will have to answer. Specifically, the knowledge that Lando's beloved L3-37 (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) is now part of the Falcon makes Han's victory feel like kind of a mean-spirited move, and we're left to wonder who the Falcon truly belongs with, Han or Lando.
Let's get ourselves up to speed. Solo: A Star Wars Story covers a lot of ground for Han's backstory, and the film ends with him winning the Millennium Falcon from Lando after preventing Calrissian from cheating yet again. The spinoff frames Han's win as a triumphant moment, but it's worth remembering that Han takes the ship fully aware of the emotional toll that Lando paid during the movie, and the genuine love he felt towards L3. With such an emotional connection between Lando and the Falcon, it leaves us seriously convinced the ship may actually belong to him, and that Han's decision to take it feels a bit like a dick move, even by Han's standards.
That's not to say that Han doesn't make a strong case for why he should own the Millennium Falcon. For starters, Lando does put up the ship in the Sabacc game, and Han does win it fair and square. Moreover, Han shows just how good of a pilot he is at several points in Solo: A Star Wars Story's narrative, even legitimately making the Kessel Run in record time.
Of course, it's also worth mentioning that we do have some insider insight into this situation, as well. Specifically, CinemaBlend asked Donald Glover if Lando Calrissian should get the Millennium Falcon back in Star Wars: Episode IX and the actor acknowledged that enough time might have passed that it doesn't belong to Lando anymore. Glover explained
I think that might be sweet. I know now that Han's gone, it might be kind of nice and sentimental in a good way to see that coming back. I feel like Lando might give it to somebody else. You know? To be like, 'It's not mine anymore.' He has a city he probably has to run.
That said, Donald Glover's remarks still don't entirely answer the question of whom the Millennium Falcon should've belonged to this whole time. Lando's love of L3 makes a strong case that he should've kept it, while Han's pure skill as a pilot clearly shows that it ended up in capable hands. This debate could potentially rage on for years, so give us your take on the matter in the poll, below!
