[ EU ] The cast of Firefly is hired by Darth Vader to hunt down the Millennium Falcon .

`` RRRwahh yarrgrr hnn?'' 
 
 The notorious smuggler looked at his gargantuan Wookiee co-pilot and furrowed his brow. He had been travelling with the hairy giant for almost a year, and though Han Solo could usually understand Shyriiwook, sometimes the subtleties of the language eluded him. 
 
 `` Chewbacca. Chewie,'' Han said, flicking the auto-pilot switch and turning to the Wookiee, `` I like you. You know I like you. You're a great co-pilot, a crafty smuggler, and you've shown me that Trandoshans' arms and legs come right off if you pull hard enough.'' Han and Chewbacca laughed, remembering the incident fondly. 
 
 `` But if this life-debt thing is gon na work out, you got ta speak a little slower.'' The Wookiee ran his clawed fingers through the thick fur covering his belly; a nervous habit Solo had noticed him doing whenever his barking language was misunderstood by a non-native speaker. 
 
 `` RRR-WAHH. YARR-GRR. HNN?'' Chewbacca repeated, slowing down and emphasizing each syllable. 
 
 `` Do I tee a sick blindness? I've already told you, Chewie, Wookiee idioms do n't translate into Basic.'' 
 
 `` Muawa.'' Chewbacca reached a long, furry arm across the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon and tapped the rear-view vidscreen next to Han's head with his claw. Solo turned to look at the viewscreen and tried to understand what the Wookiee's problem was. 
 
 `` Oh,'Do I see a ship behind us'!'' he said as the Wookiee kept tapping the little dot moving across the screen, `` Yeah, I do. Looks like it's just a bulk transport, a little one. Probably not a problem but... I've got a bad feeling about this. Check to see if it's in range to get a visual on us.'' 
 
 `` Ohh haa... Uma. Aarrr wwgggh waah?'' 
 
 `` No, if they're that close and we jump, they'll see how fast the hyperdrives charging and they'll probably try to sell the ship's ID to the Empire. They've got a general bounty on what they're calling'illicit modifications', and what we call'going faster, faster'. Just maintain the cruising speed, I'll run to the back and see if I can get a better look at them from there.'' 
 
 As Han Solo ran through the corridors of his ship, Captain Malcolm Reynolds ran through the cramped hallways of his own ship, the Serenity. His pilot had just reported a visual on the ship they were hired to pursue, and Mal wanted to check and double-check that what the pilot had seen was the Millennium Falcon. He had n't met Vader, but the stories he'd heard about his new employer made Mal uncomfortable. He did n't trust the Empire, and he did n't trust the greasy military liaison who had contacted them and asked them to chase down the smuggler. Mal did like money, though, and the Empire was offering a lot of it.
