Rescue of Han Solo

During the Galactic Civil War, Han Solo of the Alliance to Restore the Republic was frozen in carbonite by the Galactic Empire and taken to Jabba the Hutt by Boba Fett. Solo's friends in the Rebel Alliance set out to find and rescue the former smuggler from Jabba's palace on Tatooine. Solo was freed by his friends, but the crime lord ordered that they be executed. This led to a battle at the Great Pit of Carkoon between the small group of Rebels and Jabba's forces. One of the Rebels, Princess Leia Organa, killed Jabba, while Luke Skywalker and the others fought off Jabba's guards. With Jabba dead, the Rebels escaped and returned to the Rebellion.
