Han Solo’s Timeline In ‘The Mandalorian’ Era Just Got Very Confusing

The concept art shows park guests flying alongside Din Djarin and Grogu, which raises questions about the Falcon’s history. Han loaning his ship to Hondo during the Resistance era makes sense, because the Resistance was busy battling the First Order. But the New Republic era is relatively peaceful, and canonically, Han Solo is taking a well-earned break. Will we find out how he lost the ship he called home for years, or will there be another convenient explanation for why someone else (namely, you and your park-going friends) is borrowing it? Did he just decide to hang up the keys and go fishing for a few years, or what?

Park rides may be a very minor part of Star Wars canon, but they are still canon, and Star Wars now has a prime opportunity to answer a big mystery. At what point in three decades did this iconic ship go from Han Solo’s sick ride to, as Rey called it, “the garbage”?

The Mandalorian & Grogu premieres in theaters on May 22, 2026.
