Lando's Luck, a book for younger readers, is part of the Flight of the Falcon series, which focuses its narrative on the characters Lando Calrissian and L3-37. Justina Ireland is the author, Annie Wu provided the illustrations, and Disney–Lucasfilm Press released it on October 2, 2018.
A brand new story awaits, featuring Lando Calrissian and L3-37 as they travel aboard the Millennium Falcon. When a smuggling operation goes awry, Lando is presented with the chance to act honorably – or to prioritize his own interests. If fortune favors him, he might accomplish both!
Bazine Netal is obsessed with uncovering every detail about the Millennium Falcon. She located an individual who was revealed to be the former Princess Rinetta Gan of Hynestia Prime. Rinetta recounted to her the tale of her journey on the vessel.
After being apprehended for smuggling, Lando Calrissian found himself with only a single avenue to escape Hynestia alive. Under the directives of Queen Forsythia Jin, he and his first mate L3-37 were tasked with delivering an orb to the Empire to compensate for a failed gherlian fur shipment they were responsible for.
Princess Rinetta had learned from her instructor Zel, who was a Lynna, about the true nature of the artifact. The Solstice Globe was the home of Livno III in Wild Space. Its intended function was to serve as an energy source, compensating for the deficiency of sunlight on the planet. Without it, Livno III was destined for collapse (a process that had been underway for years). After secretly boarding the Millennium Falcon, Princess Rinetta attempted to compel Lando and L3 to adhere to her revised instructions (which defied the queen's orders).
Initially, her scheme faltered when Lando confiscated her blaster and journeyed to Neral's moon to settle a debt with Ne'eda Frip. The exchange went awry, and he managed to escape, only to be recaptured by Queen Forsythia. Princess Rinetta then liberated Lando, Zel, and L3 once more, securing Lando's commitment to assist her in returning the Solstice Globe to Livno III.
Evading Hynestia, the quartet was compelled to subdue Ne'eda's Stalwarts before initiating the jump to hyperspace, ultimately arriving at Livno III two days later and reinstating the artifact. As it turned out, the Solstice Globe was the last of the three Globes that had been missing, and sunlight was restored to Livno III.
After returning the princess to Hynestia, Lando and L3 received a pardon from the queen and departed for further adventures.
Years afterward, the Empire seized control of Hynestia. The queen was exiled, and Princess Rinetta led the remaining Hynestians to safety on Livno III.
