solo: a star wars story
brian daley wrote a series of novels ("the han solo adventures"), first published in 1979, exploring han solo and chewbecca's smuggling adventures, and ann c. crispin's "the han solo trilogy" (1997–1998) further develops the character's backstory. crispin's books depict solo as a beggar and pickpocket throughout much of his youth. he becomes a pilot and, in the process of undermining a religious fraud, falls in love with bria tharen, who disappears before solo joins the imperial navy. solo loses his commission and is cashiered when he refuses an order to skin chewbacca for commandeering a ship carrying wookiee children destined for slavery; chewbacca, in turn, swears a "life-debt" to solo. the two become smugglers, and help repel an imperial blockade of a hutt moon. solo soon thereafter wins the "millennium falcon" from lando calrissian in a card tournament. tharen, now a rebel agent, reappears and asks for solo, chewbacca and calrissian's help in attacking a slave colony. after succeeding, tharen's troopers steal the smuggler's valuables to aid the rebel alliance. to compensate their losses, solo and chewbacca accept a smuggling job from jabba the hutt; but imperial ships force the smugglers to jettison their cargo, invoking the debt solo and chewbacca owe the hutt at the beginning of "star wars".
