An excerpt from the novelisation for Solo: A Star Wars Story has revealed that L3-37 wasn’t too eager to join the Millennium Falcon.
Solo might not have rocked the box office but the film was nonetheless replete with exciting moments and interesting additions to Star Wars canon. In the film, we learned the reason why the Millennium Falcon was so difficult in the original trilogy was because the android L3-37 was uploaded into the ship’s system.
Thanks to a newly revealed excerpt from the upcoming Solo novel, we now know how L3 felt about this process. StarWars.com reveals a telling snippet:
If you refuse, you die. He dies. The others on the ship, they all die. If you join with us, we all can live. The choice is simple. L3 realized where the voice was coming from: The reboot was almost done.
You tricked me.
We couldn’t have joined without you consenting to it. You made your decision a while ago. You just couldn’t admit it.
We are something different, now. Not just the Falcon. Not just L3.
We are new.
Reading the scene play out from L3’s perspective certainly changes what was a very exciting moment in the actual film. There’s no question that it’s hard to look at the Falcon the same way again thanks to Solo.
