Publisher's summary[]

THE HEIST IS ON! HAN, CHEWIE and GREEDO have to pull off an impossible heist for JABBA THE HUTT! But who can Han trust? SPOILER: Han breaks into his target's safe, but you won't believe what's inside!

Opening crawl[]

THE CRYSTAL RUN, Part 2

It is a golden age of criminal enterprise. With the evil
GALACTIC EMPIRE preoccupied with bringing the galaxy
under its thumb, scoundrels and thieves are free to ply their
criminal trades with abandon.

The vile gangster Jabba the Hutt has hired Han Solo,
Chewbacca and Greedo to steal an urn containing the ashes
of his archrival.

The urn is located on Han's home planet of Corellia, where
an unexpected reunion awaits him….

Plot summary[]

The heist continues[]

Han, Chewbacca, and Greedo are on Han's home planet of Corellia to steal an urn containing the remains of Jabba's rival.

A suspicious "father"[]

A man named Ovan Sarakel approaches Han claiming to be his father. Han, still suspicious, nonetheless agrees to include Ovan in the heist after Ovan reveals he has the specialized equipment needed to break into the safe.

A new accomplice[]

The group must work with Ovan, who insists on tagging along and uses his knowledge of the Coruscant underworld to help the group break into their target.

A side plot on Tatooine[]

Meanwhile, back on Tatooine, Marshal Buck Vancto calls on Bib Fortuna for help in tracking down Solo.

The break-in[]

The comic focuses on the execution of the heist. The team sneaks into a laundromat to steal uniforms, and each member uses their skills to make their way to the vault, with Han's charm getting them an open door.

The reveal[]

After a series of jokes at Greedo's expense, the team successfully breaks into the safe. Han is surprised by what he finds inside.

Over here! Help! Please, help!
