Solo - Mur Lafferty

This thrilling adaptation of Solo: A Star Wars Story expands
on the film to include scenes from alternate versions of the script and
other additional content, giving deeper insights into Han Solo's years
in the Imperial Navy, Qi'ra's past, and the beginnings of the rebellion.

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.
