Star Wars 19: The Ultimate Gamble represents the nineteenth installment within the Marvel Star Wars comic book series.
The group from the Millennium Falcon have separated on the gambler's haven called The Wheel. The droids, specifically C-3PO and R2-D2, are transporting the incapacitated Luke Skywalker to the Wheel's medical facilities. Meanwhile, Senator Simon Greyshade, who is the Wheel's administrator, makes arrangements for Princess Leia to be escorted to his private chambers. Furthermore, Chewbacca finds himself at the Crimson Casino situated on the Wheel's top floor, only to be apprehended by the Wheel Security Force and compelled to participate in The Big Game. Simultaneously, Han Solo is also entered into The Big Game without knowledge of Chewbacca's participation in the same gladiatorial contest. All of this is orchestrated by Greyshade, who is conspiring with Imperial Commander Strom to ensure the demise of all the Rebels, provided that Leia remains with Greyshade on the Wheel.
