Solo Spoilers

Solo: A Star Wars Story (TM) spoilers ahead. I am going to see the film tonight, but the following is all true.

Han eventually reunites with at least one surviving cast member who betrays him to his future son's maternal grandfather.

Han eventually has a bounty on his head that he successfully pays off by taking reward money after transporting strangers and rescuing a princess he eventually knocks up and leaves but achieves the same military rank of general with.

Han eventually assists in a mass murder and war crime, achieving the rank of general.

Han eventually survives a cryogenic experiment with only short term health problems.

Han eventually is killed by his kid, a kid who exceeds his parents' military rank of general, so good job there. This is in part because the son hates the dad in a really emo way and actually ancestor worships his maternal grandfather.

Han eventually has a religious experience that converts him and makes him a believer in a very old religion the government had worked to snuff out.

Actually, it's a prequel. The point of prequels is to alleviate all that pesky and risky actual drama of storytelling and moving a story forward, so there are no spoilers. I have ranted about this previously on this blog at length.
