    • As a teenager, Han was a petty thief who lived in Corellia’s sewers with the infamous White Worms gang. After one of Lady Proxima’s deals went bad, the White Worm matriarch prepared to punish Han. But the teenager was tired of the abuse and dared to fight back.
    • Han fled in a stolen landspeeder with his friend Qi’ra, evading Proxima’s enforcers and Imperial troops. Han’s plan was to bribe emigration officials with a vial of coaxium Han had tucked away during the botched deal, escape the White Worms and Corellia with Qi’ra, and seek a better life offworld.
    • Han made it through, but Qi’ra did not. Unable to help his friend, Han enlisted in the Imperial Navy, vowing to become the galaxy’s best pilot. A clerically inclined officer gave the ragamuffin kid a last name – Solo – and Han entered the Imperial Academy.
    • The Empire kicked him out of the academy and dumped him in the infantry, tossed into a grinding war on Mimban. Discarded as cannon fodder, the young mudtrooper looked desperately for a way out.
    • Han thought he’d found it when he caught Tobias Beckett and his gang of ship thieves casing the Empire’s operations on Mimban. Han tried to join them, but Beckett – who’d disguised himself as an Imperial officer -- didn’t trust outsiders. He claimed Han had been caught deserting, leaving the mudtrooper in Imperial custody.
    • Like the Navy, the Imperial Army had tired of Han’s rebellious ways. A lieutenant ordered him thrown into a makeshift prison with “the Beast” – a luckless Wookiee captive named Chewbacca. Han convinced Chewie that they could escape together, marking the beginning of their long friendship. They fled the prison and persuaded Beckett to give them a ride off Mimban in a stolen AT-hauler.
    • The next stop for Beckett’s gang was the frontier world Vandor. There, Beckett planned to steal from an Imperial conveyex, detaching a cargo car containing a valuable shipment of coaxium and using the stolen AT-hauler to fly away with it.
    • The gang managed to detach the car, but Enfys Nest’s Cloud-Riders fought them for control of it. Han wound up flying the stolen AT-hauler, and lost the cargo trying to help Beckett and Chewie. Beckett told Han he’d signed their death warrants: the gang had agreed to steal the coaxium for the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate.
    • Han, Chewie and Beckett headed for Fort Ypso to meet with Crimson Dawn kingpin Dryden Vos aboard his elegant yacht. To Han’s astonishment, he discovered Qi’ra was one of Vos’s lieutenants. Han had a proposal for Vos: he, Beckett and Chewie would steal unrefined coaxium from Kessel and deliver it to Crimson Dawn, cancelling their debt.
    • When Qi’ra vouched for Han, Vos agreed to the young Corellian’s plan. But he warned Beckett not to fail again, and insisted Qi’ra join the mission. Now the gang needed a ship. Qi’ra suggested the Millennium Falcon, owned by a ne’er-do-well gambler named Lando Calrissian. Han tried to win the Falcon in a game of sabacc, but Lando proved himself to be an effective cheater and prevailed.
    • Though claiming to be retired, Lando agreed to join the gang, giving them the ship they needed. Han, Chewie, Beckett and Qi’ra headed for Kessel aboard the Falcon with Lando and pilot droid L3-37. The mission would change Han Solo’s life, and establish his legend as a daredevil pilot and smuggler.
    • Han Solo comes from Corellia, a place known for its big ships and its starpilot aces. With Chewbacca the Wookiee at his side, Han became a smuggler for underworld gangsters such as Jabba the Hutt. His speedy freighter, the Millennium Falcon, allowed Han to make the Kessel Run in under twelve parsecs. The ship was Han's prized possession ever since he won it from his friend Lando Calrissian in a gambling match.
