Publisher's summary
INCLUDES BACKSTORY AND MOMENTS NOT SHOWN IN CINEMAS! A young HAN SOLO, after his departure from the IMPERIAL NAVY, embarks on a quest for excitement by enlisting with a group of intergalactic mercenaries – which includes CHEWBACCA, a Wookiee who is 190 years old [sic], and LANDO CALRISSIAN, a well-known gambler. However, the story of the galaxy's most cherished rogue contains more than what was presented in theaters. Why does BECKETT place his trust in him? Furthermore, what is the connection between the woman who captured Han's affection and one of Han's most intimate companions?
Plot summary
Continuity
Solo: A Star Wars Story Adaptation 1 presents scenes that were previously detailed in the novel Solo: A Star Wars Story: Expanded Edition, although some subtle variations exist between the two versions. In the comic adaptation, during Han Solo's trial on Carida, Commodore Almudin offers a summary of Solo's actions while at the academy before continuing with the dialogue that was used in the novelization. Similarly, Solo's actions during his training exercise are also modified, depicting him neutralizing three raiders as opposed to only damaging one, as indicated in the novelization.
