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.
