Now for a look at some unusual suspects.
He is a very tough criminal, Lawrence Kasdan says of Beckett.
And, as you might think with Woody, who has enormous humanity, its not just that.

Howard says Beckett is such a charismatic character.
Han sort of forces himself into Woodys life, Lawrence Kasdan says.
It starts a relationship that has enormous impact on what kind of person Han will be.

Val played by Thandie Newton
This character is a little more mysterious.
Shes tied to Beckett, thats how Han meets Val, says Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy.
Theyve been partners a long time.

Jon Kasdan calls Val part of the criminal family that Han gets involved in.
Shes not impressed with the Corellian pilot.
Shes a little skeptical of this kid when she meets him.

And her relationship with him goes in, I think, an …interestingdirection.
The filmmakers werent going any further into what that might mean.
Dryden Vos played by Paul Bettany
Heres the successful crime boss.
The debonair and sophisticated hoodlum.
Hes way deeper in the crime world than anyone else that we meet in the movie.
The galactic crime realm isnt a place where people concern themselves with titles, though.
Theres no hierarchy, Jon Kasdan says.
There are some that are in power, and theres some that are scrambling to stay alive.
But, sorry, Lucasfilm says the similar last names are just coincidence.
Back corner, to the left.
The shape of what looks like … a familiar helmet.
Or is that just a trick of the eye?
Its not like a certain bounty hunter to hide in plain sight, right?
