In the 30 years between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, Han Solo and Chewbacca had retired from the smuggling game. Until the Millennium Falcon was stolen. That quest reached its end in The Force Awakens, where the duo find it being piloted away from Jakku by Rey and Finn. Now, a new five-issue limited series comic will tell the rest of that story.

Star Wars: Han Solo – Hunt for the Falcon will be written by Rodney Barnes, with Ramon Rosanas on art. Along with Han Solo and Chewbacca, Leia Organa and Lando Calrissian will feature as part of the miniseries, which Barnes is very happy to include. “Han Solo – Hunt for the Falcon is a dream come true. Han, Leia, Chewbacca, and Lando were my heroes when I was a kid. To write an adventure that includes that quartet (and more!) is truly an honour. One huge check off my bucket list.”

The description for the first issue of the series, which goes on sale September 3, reads, “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.”
