Solo: A Star Wars Story screenwriter Jon Kasdan has stated that the idea of the Akkadese Maelstrom was present since the film's first script draft. In Kasdan's words, the film's crew wanted a Jules Verne flavor and that they loved the idea of what might look like a storm in space. Industrial Light & Magic did tests in which they blew up canisters of different colored powder and photographed the explosion in slow-motion.
