"Corphelion Interlude": A synopsis
This brief narrative, titled "Corphelion Interlude," was penned by Troy Denning as a Valentine's Day gift for readers in 2003. Taking place in the year 8 ABY, it recounts the experiences of Han and Leia Organa Solo during their honeymoon, specifically their journey to witness the spectacle of the Corphelion Comets. It can be found in the paperback edition of Tatooine Ghost, along with another story, A Forest Apart.
Han and Leia Solo initiate their honeymoon with a stay at a resort on Corphelion, their intention being to observe the captivating comets. However, their hopes for privacy are dashed by the large crowd gathered, which leaves them feeling less than secluded. Deciding to get some drinks, they begin to descend when the show commences. Their enjoyment is short-lived, however, when a comet detaches from the main group and hurtles towards their location.
While the other guests make a hasty retreat, Han attempts to calm his new wife, assuring her that he has everything under control. Leia, suspecting the mischievous involvement of either Wedge or Lando, playfully pulls him aside, questioning how the smuggler orchestrated the event. Han vehemently denies any involvement, all the while secretly worrying that the pilot he hired might have been a bit too enthusiastic and will crash into the resort.
At the last possible moment, the comet streaks past the dome, its trajectory creating a dazzling and romantic display of lights against the resort's particle shield. Leia is visibly impressed, and the couple shares an embrace as cheers erupt from the crowd above, their display of affection unfolding before the departing comet watchers.
Deciding that it might be wise to head back to their ship, Han and Leia depart, walking hand in hand.
