Don't miss the exclusive content in this thrilling adaptation of
Solo: A Star Wars Story, with scenes from alternate versions of the
script including Han Solo's time in the Imperial Navy, Qi'ra's past, the
beginnings of the rebellion, and more!
Though Han Solo has thrilled Star Wars fans for decades, the notorious
wisecracking scoundrel was chasing adventure and dodging trouble long
before he walked into the cantina at Mos Eisley spaceport.
Young Han dreams of someday soaring into space at the helm of his own
starship and leaving his home, the gritty industrial planet Corellia,
far behind. But as long as he's trapped in a life of poverty and
crime--and under the thumb of the sinister Lady Proxima and her brutal
street gang--reaching the distant stars seems impossible. When Han tries
to escape with his girlfriend and partner-in-crime, Qi'ra, he makes it
out--but she doesn't. Desperate for a way to find his own offworld
vessel and free her, Han enlists in the Imperial Navy--the last place
for a rebellious loner who doesn't play well with others.
When the Empire clips his wings, Han goes rogue and plunges into the
shady world of smugglers, gamblers, and con artists. There he meets the
charming and cunning high roller Lando Calrissian, makes an unlikely
friend in a cantankerous Wookiee called Chewbacca, and first lays eyes
on the Millennium Falcon. To snag his piece of the outlaw pie, Han
joins a crew of pirates to pull off a risky heist. The stakes are high,
the danger is great, and the odds are slim. But never tell Han Solo the
odds.
