Adventures in Hyperspace: The Big Switch was planned as the third installment in the Star Wars: Adventures in Hyperspace series for young readers, part of the Legends continuity. It centered around Han Solo and Chewbacca, depicted as smugglers working for Jabba the Hutt before the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. Ryder Windham was slated to write the book, Jeffery Carlisle to illustrate it, and Scholastic Inc. to publish it on September 1, 2010.
Windham had already finished writing The Big Switch when he received notice that both it and the fourth Adventures in Hyperspace book were being cancelled. The full manuscript is now hosted on Joseph Bongiorno's fan website, The Star Wars Expanded Universe Timeline.
When Han and Chewie discover the "sculpture" they are transporting for Jabba is actually stolen and far more than a simple piece of art, a simple job goes terribly wrong!
If Han and Chewie want to return to Tatooine unharmed, the Millennium Falcon must race out of this predicament and directly into the Blockade Runner's Derby! Can they win the race while also completing the job?
