The Trouble with Squibs

The Trouble with Squibs was a short story written by Troy Denning, originally published in Star Wars Insider 67 and later archived on Star Wars Hyperspace.

Plot summary
On a trip to Pavo Prime to retrieve Alderaanian boasa statues, Han and Leia Organa Solo run into two old "friends": the Squibs Emala and Sligh who they met on Tatooine while trying to obtain the moss painting, Killik Twilight. However, the third Squib, Grees was conspicuously absent. It turned out that Grees had been frozen in carbonite, and was in the possession of a Jenet casino owner on Pavo Prime. Han and Leia helped the Squibs rescue Grees, and obtained the boasa statues, but they were fed misinformation by the Squibs about a new Imperial technology.

Behind the scenes
The title is an obvious spoof of the Star Trek episode, The Trouble With Tribbles.

It was tentatively titled Never Trust a Squib.
