"Solo: A Star Wars Story" introduces a slew of new characters to the "Star Wars" universe. One is Qi'ra (Emilia Clarke), Han's love interest and a high-ranking lieutenant for Dryden Vos (Paul Bettany) and the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate. When Vos sends our heroes on a mission to steal coaxium, he sends Qi'ra with Han and Chewbacca. "Solo" establishes that the Crimson Dawn works in the shadows, so why would Vos send practically his second in command on such a high-profile heist? This plot hole hasn't left writer Jonathan Kasdan's mind since the movie hit theaters.
"I'm going to reveal the writer's nightmare right now," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "If Dryden Vos is so concerned about exposing his gang in the [Kessel] heist, why does he send his most trusted aid [Qi'ra] to be the most visible member of the team that steals the coaxium? It seems to me that he's going to have to kill her almost immediately just to separate himself from that job. So it always drove me crazy, and it was a problem that I was eager to retcon in a sequel."
When asked in the same interview if Lucasfilm had plans to return to the "Solo" world, potentially on Disney+, Kasdan said, "I don't honestly know." While he would love to continue those stories, the decision is entirely up to Kathleen Kennedy and the studio. However, he did say that exploring the Special Presentation format that Marvel Studios popularized would be an exciting way for Lucasfilm to move forward.
