With only a few weeks before the premiere of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens,' rumors are still sprouting from everywhere. One of the most recent speculations involves the identity of a new pilot for Han Solo's iconic spacecraft the 'Millennium Falcon!'
Well, the pilot's identity is not exactly a major secret, since the character has been mentioned in almost all of the 'Episode VII' marketing stunts. But Vulture reports that there may be a reason why the Millennium Falcon has a new pilot.
A new 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Topps card has just been unveiled featuring everybody's favorite Wookie and a curious new friend. The Chewbacca Topps card not only shows Han Solo's right hand in action but the Wookie is also featured being the co-pilot of none other than new protagonist Rey!
Rey is portrayed by Daisy Ridley, and the speculations surrounding her identity have been pointing to the possibility that she could be a Starwalker child. Although there were rumors that Rey could be the daughter of Luke Skywalker himself, the image in the Chewbacca Topps card might be insinuating that Daisy Ridley is actually playing the child of Princess Leia and Han Solo, who isn't likely to just let anyone drive the Millennium Falcon.
But this isn't the only speculation emerging from the image. It could be possible that Rey is simply taking control of the Millennium Falcon while Han Solo deals with the hyperdrive motivator once again, or she has stolen the spacecraft with Chewie still in the cockpit. One of the most plausible rumors is that Rey has won the Millennium Falcon from its cocky captain in the same way that Lando Calrissian managed to walk away with it in the past.
Will Rey be able to maneuver the Millennium Falcon with no problem? Find out when 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' finally hits theaters on Dec. 18.
