Former smuggler & space pirate, Han Solo is the rugged, devil-may-care captain of the Millennium Falcon. Fast thinking & quick with a blaster, Han is noted for his narrow escapes from dangerous situations, many of which are the result of his own brash & arrogant behavior. His skill with a blaster & uncanny luck are equaled only by his extraordinary piloting abilities.
After winning the Falcon from fellow gambler & friend Lando Calrissian, Han extensively modified his ship to become one of the fastest space vessels in the galaxy. For this reason, he is hired to transport Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi & young Luke Skywalker on a mission that will forever alter Han"s roguish course. After helping to rescue the Rebel leader Princess Leia from the clutches of the evil Empire, the charming yet insufferable pilot finds a focus for his flyboy talents. No longer a reckless vagrant, Han Solo becomes a general in the Rebel Alliance & is recognized as one of its most deserving & courageous heroes.
With the Rebel base on Hoth under siege, Han Solo & Princess Leia escape to Bespin"s Cloud City. Darth Vader dispatches a number of bounty hunters to locate & capture the fleeing Rebels. Boba Fett, the Mandalorian bounty hunter, tracks the Millennium Falcon to Cloud City, & alerts Lord Vader to their location. Darth Vader orchestrates a clever trap, forcing the cooperation of Lando Calrissian, the administrator of Cloud City, wherein Han & Leia will be used as bait to lure his true prize, Luke Skywalker. Darth Vader intends to immobilize Luke by freezing him in carbonite, rendering him safe for transport, & tests the process on Han Solo. It is a clever deal, as Boba Fett is rewarded for his aid in the Rebel capture, & is also allowed to take the carbonite encased Han Solo back to Jabba the Hutt, & collect the bounty offered by the vile gangster as well. Han Solo suffers the painful injections & near torturous preparation process, & once encased in carbonite, is loaded into Fett"s Slave 1 ship, & delivered to Jabba"s palace where he remains frozen in perfect hibernation until Leia, Lando Calrissian, Chewbacca, & Luke Skywalker can rescue him.
