Storyline Summary

Before the Battle of Yavin takes place, Luke Skywalker questions Han Solo about his departure, now that Solo has received his payment. Solo then confirms that he intends to leave. Skywalker points out to Solo that the Rebellion could benefit from having a skilled pilot like him. Solo responds by questioning the value of a reward if one is not around to enjoy it. Skywalker advises him to take care of himself, stating that "[he is]" best at that. Solo's expression turns to a frown.

Later, while on board the Millennium Falcon, Chewbacca makes a growling sound. Han inquires about what Chewbacca is observing. Solo then insists that he is fully aware of his actions. The narrator then explains that in a "galaxy of adventures," a true hero will return to aid their comrades. Han experiences a change of heart, returning to Yavin and participating in the rebel attack on the Death Star.

Solo pilots the Falcon through the Meridian trench and engages the three TIE fighters that are chasing Luke's X-wing. He successfully destroys the TIE fighters that were escorting Darth Vader, which forces Lord Vader to retreat in his TIE Advanced x1 fighter. Using the headset, Solo communicates to Luke, letting him know that the path is clear and instructing him to destroy the Death Star and return home.

Luke launches two proton torpedoes into the thermal exhaust port of the Death Star, causing it to explode. Luke flies his X-wing alongside the Falcon, smiling at both Han and Chewbacca. They depart, leaving behind the burning remains of the Death Star.
