The thirty-second installment of Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures is called "Han Solo - From Smuggler to General". It was initially released on StarWarsKids.com and YouTube on June 14, 2019.

Plot summary

The episode begins as Enfys Nest extends an invitation to Han Solo and Chewbacca to become members of her rebel group, the Cloud-Riders. She tells Solo that individuals with his leadership and combat skills are needed. Solo declines, telling her not to wait for him, and then departs with Chewbacca.

Subsequently, the video transitions to a scene of Solo engaging stormtroopers in combat on the Death Star alongside Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, and Chewbacca. Overcome by the thrill of battle, Solo pursues the retreating stormtroopers, prompting Leia to comment on his bravery. However, Solo is compelled to retreat when he encounters a phalanx of stormtroopers.

Following the Battle of Yavin, Solo receives a golden medal. He shares a smile with the other "heroes of Yavin." Chewie lets out a victorious roar. This is followed by a scene of Han piloting the Millennium Falcon with his allies. Later, Solo is shown riding a tauntaun alongside a snowspeeder patrol searching for Skywalker, and providing assistance to an injured Skywalker.

Later on, Solo commands the Endor strike team as they fight against Imperial forces during the Battle of Endor. A scene depicts Han accepting the surrender of a scout trooper outside the Death Star's shield generator. The narrator explains that within a "galaxy of adventures", even a rogue can become a rebel commander.

Following this, a flashback reveals General Crix Madine inquiring with General Solo about the readiness of his strike team in the briefing room aboard the Home One. Chewbacca confirms this with a roar, while Leia and Luke volunteer to join the strike team. The episode concludes with a halo illuminating Solo in the briefing room.

Behind the scenes

Nik Sant, the white-bearded member of the Endor strike team who initially appeared in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi and is speculated to be the former clone Captain Rex, is portrayed as Rex wearing clone trooper armor in recreated scenes from Return of the Jedi within "Han Solo - From Smuggler to General." Rex also makes appearances in original scenes within the short. As of now, no official source has verified that Rex and Sant are the same individual.
