So, yeah. This happened this week.
Either Ron Howard is dropping us some fairly hefty clues about next year’s Han Solo, erm, solo movie, or he’s trolling us all to a truly expert level. This week, the director tweeted this:

Here’s a close-up:
That looks like the bottom of a mine shaft. You know, where they mine stuff. And Howard’s clue of “spicey” leads our collective mental meanderings to the spice mines of Kessel, the very place C-3PO feared being sold to. And the end/start point of the infamous Kessel Run.
So could this be it? Could we finally find out how you can make the Run in 12 parsecs, despite a parsec being a measurement of distance, not time? Will this see the Millennium Falcon using its speed to run through a nest of black holes instead of going around them, as is the fandom explanation? Or is Ron Howard just winding up every Star Wars geek on the planet? Who knows? We’ll have to wait until next year to find out.
C’mon black holes…
The currently untitled Han Solo movie is scheduled for release on 25 May 2018.
