To mark the 10th anniversary of The Force Awakens, the Star Wars universe is introducing a change to established story details that feels a bit forced. The franchise has always relied on chance and good fortune, often attributed to the power of the Force. This is especially noticeable at the beginning of The Force Awakens, where Rey, Finn, and BB-8 quickly cross paths. What’s even more remarkable is that, while escaping enemy ships, they end up hiding in the legendary Millennium Falcon.
In The Force Awakens, we learned Han Solo had lost the Millennium Falcon some time before, and the details surrounding its loss remained unclear even years later. The new miniseries, Star Wars: Hunt for the Falcon, from Rodney Barnes, Guru-eFX, and Ramon Rosanas, begins to fill in those gaps. However, the third issue introduces a change to established lore that feels inconsistent with what we already know.
Han Solo Traced the Falcon To Jakku
In The Force Awakens, Han Solo is genuinely surprised to learn what happened to the Millennium Falcon. He listens to Rey explain its journey as if it’s all new to him, even though he recognizes Jakku. It’s a bit odd considering Han’s extensive travels and his familiarity with places like Niima Outpost and Unkar Plutt. Interestingly, Rey seems to know the Falcon’s entire history – she even tells Han that Unkar Plutt stole it from the Irving Boys, who originally took it from Ducain, which is quite amusing.
However, The Hunt for the Falcon presents a different take on events. Taking place long before The Force Awakens, it shows Han successfully tracking down the Millennium Falcon. He and Chewbacca even end up on Jakku, ultimately facing off with Unkar Plutt. This storyline feels somewhat strange and doesn’t quite align with what we see in the film.
There’s No Way To Fix This New Plot Hole
Okay, so people try to explain Han’s reaction to Rey by saying he’s just testing her, seeing if her story adds up. But honestly, it doesn’t really make sense. Why would he need to bluff her? Plus, the way he talks to Chewie right after doesn’t back that up at all. He’s clearly annoyed they ended up on Jakku, saying something like, “I told you we should’ve checked that sector!” – which definitely doesn’t sound like he intended to wind up there. It feels less like a calculated move and more like genuine frustration.
This is a particularly odd mistake when it comes to Star Wars continuity. While Star Wars comics haven’t always perfectly aligned with established storylines (the ‘Battle of Jakku’ comic, for example, went against the source material it was based on), it’s rare for a comic to directly contradict what happens in the films. It remains to be seen if issue #4 of The Hunt for the Falcon will resolve this inconsistency.
