Star Wars 22: To the Last Gladiator

Star Wars 22: To the Last Gladiator is the twenty-second issue in the Marvel Star Wars series of comics.

Plot
Han Solo and Chewbacca are involved in the main event of The Big Game along with many other gladiators, and the two team up against the rest of the combatants to stay alive. But they realize that, according to the rules, only one of them will be permitted to leave the game alive. While Simon Greyshade, who has been orchestrating events on The Wheel, presents Princess Leia with a proposition: escape with Greyshade and his stolen treasure and her Rebel friends will go free. As she contemplates her decision, she watches the main event with Han and Chewbacca, and witnesses Han apparently slain by his Wookiee companion.
