Set between the events ofRevenge of the SithandA New Hope , Solo : A Star Wars Storyfocused   on the inception of the smuggler - turned - Rebellion hoagie Han Solo .

What had been a throwaway line to explicate C-3PO ’s difficulty in interfacing with the computer ( despite his mastery of six million forms of communication ) in a gamey - pressure office inThe Empire Strikes Backtook on a new meaning inSolo : A Star Wars Story . The moving-picture show   introduced a unexampled robot character nominate L3 - 37 , or L3 for short , which is a custom droid assembled from the region of several other robots ; L3 was the co - cowcatcher and sailing master for the Millennium Falcon and an associate of Lando Calrissian .

The events ofSolosaw L3 mortally wound , as   the movies '   heroes made their escape from Kessel before try their fabled tally . In parliamentary procedure to escape from an Imperial encirclement and survive traveling through the midsection of a jerky part of blank , Lando uploaded L3 ’s memory meat into the Millennium Falcon ’s sailing computer so that it could imbibe upon her knowledge . Based on L3 ’s dominating personality , it ’s not too operose to imagine her have over the Millennium Falcon completely and Han Solo not noticing due to all of the other quirks the ship had .

This was actuallyaStar Warsfan theorythat had been prognosticate long before the movie came out . And while it was confirmed on - screen , it ’s prissy to see Lucasfilm also confirmed it off - silver screen . In any case , it is a nice touch that shows the care that the writers ofSolo : A Star Wars Storytook in trying to draw upon the persistence of the classicStar Warsmovies in telling their report .
