Sheel Odala, a Human female distinguished by her brown hair, was an old friend of Han Solo.
Sheel Odala's path crossed with Han Solo on Void Station half a year following the Battle of Yavin. Her presence on Void Station was motivated by a desire to improve her circumstances. She was in significant debt to Jib Kopatha, the station's proprietor, a fact she concealed from Han. Sheel planned to settle her debt by providing Jib with details about Han's connection to the Rebel Alliance. She encountered Han in the station's corridors, feigning a romantic rendezvous, but she was accompanied by Kopatha's Trandoshan enforcers to prevent Han's escape. When Kopatha's interrogators threatened Han's life, Sheel determined it was best to flee. She attempted to reach her vessel, the Emerald Twilight, but was stopped by Chewbacca. Understanding that she could not abandon Han to torture, Sheel collaborated with Chewbacca to secure his release. Following their escape, Han invited Sheel to enlist with the Alliance, an offer she declined.
