You`re here for one simple reason: You want to know whether you need to stick around in the theater once the credits start rolling on Solo: A Star Wars Story. Star Wars movies have never had post-credits scenes before now, though, and the answer to this question is simple: No, Solo does not have any post-credits scenes, mid-credits scenes, or stingers of any type. Once the credits start rolling, that`s it. Movie over. Go home.Even as Disney has perfected the art of the credits scene in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they`ve somehow resisted shoehorning them into Star Wars. Fans might argue that stingers would feel out of place in Star Wars--for decades, these movies have been over when the credits started to roll and the iconic theme music kicked in. The Marvel movies are newer, and they`ve had post- and mid-credits scenes from the start.For now, Disney is playing it safe by keeping the Star Wars tradition going. That said, there are a couple of scenes toward the end of Solo that feel like they serve the same purpose in the film--one pays off a loose end from earlier in the movie, and another sets up potential entries in the franchise`s future with these characters.In our Solo review, we said, `It`s valid for some fans to wish Disney would devote resources to telling fresher tales that don`t rely so heavily on nostalgia and existing plots and characters...But Solo: A Star Wars Story is what we have right now, and if it`s simply an enjoyably well-crafted side story, well, is that really so bad?`Also check out our history of the Millennium Falcon, where Solo takes place in the Star Wars timeline, whether C-3PO gets his usual cameo, and everything you need to know about the Star Wars card game sabacc.
