Plot summary

Chewbacca and Han Solo find themselves aboard the Millennium Falcon, engaged in an argument concerning who will pilot the vessel. Chewie vocalizes his opinion with a growl, leading Han to concede and allow him to assume control. As the Falcon lifts off from Tatooine, Boba Fett examines the bounty placed on Solo and Chewbacca via a hologram projected from his gauntlet. Subsequently, he activates a jetpack equipped with wings and initiates pursuit of the departing freighter.

Han engages the Falcon's autopilot system, allowing both he and Chewie to relax and commence a game of dejarik within the hold. During this time, Fett manages to land atop the ship. He attempts to breach the hull using a laser, but his efforts prove unsuccessful. He then tries to force the hatch open, which triggers an alarm. Chewie responds by rotating the ship's rectenna, dislodging Fett from the vessel. However, Fett utilizes his jetpack to regain his position. Han and Chewie hastily return to the cockpit, where Han observes Fett standing on a cargo container. In response, he ejects the cargo through the front mandibles. Fett resumes his chase, firing his blasters at the ship, but it enters lightspeed before he can intercept it.

Acknowledging their lapse in vigilance, Solo concludes the dejarik match. Both he and Chewie then head back to the cockpit. There, Han wipes his forehead in relief and shares a fist bump with his Wookiee companion.
