A new comic book miniseries set in the years building up to the Star Wars sequel trilogy will follow Han Solo as he travels the galaxy in search of his iconic starship.
In 2015’s The Force Awakens, Finn and Rey found the Millennium Falcon gathering dust in a junkyard in Jakku, and promptly nicked it, drawing them to the attention of Han and Chewbacca. Han Solo: Hunt for the Falcon, a five-issue miniseries, will tell the story leading up to that point from Han’s perspective. It’s from writer Rodney Barnes and artist Ramon Rosanas, who previously worked together on the Inquisitors miniseries.
Marvel’s official synopsis says: “In the time before The Force Awakens, where is the Millennium Falcon?! Less than satisfied with a settled life, Han Solo lands on the idea of reclaiming the Falcon and returning to a life of adventure. The problem is, he can’t find it.
“After enlisting a less than enthusiastic Chewbacca, the duo embarks upon a quest to reclaim the greatest ship in the galaxy. Standing in their way are a laundry list of rogues who have staked a claim to the Millennium Falcon as well, like the villainous scoundrel who stole the Falcon, Ducain.”
The series promises to include appearances from well-known characters like Princess – sorry, General – Leia and Lando Calrissian, as well as deeper continuity cuts such as Gannis Ducain, the Nikto criminal who’s previously appeared in Star Wars Adventures comics.
Star Wars: Han Solo: Hunt for the Falcon #1 will be on sale from September 3rd, with four variant covers – take a look at them all below.
