Plot summary[]

SOLO
A STAR WARS STORY Part V

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....

Young rogue Han Solo has reunited with his long-lost love, Qi'ra, and
together with outlaw Tobias Beckett, the Wookiee Chewbacca, smuggler
Lando Calrissian and the navigational droid L3, have stolen a valuable
shipment of the hyperfuel coaxium from the mines of Kessel.

But the coaxium is dangerously unstable. If Han can't refine it in time,
he and his new allies will meet an explosive end! And that's nothing
compared to what Qi'ra's boss, the crime lord Dryden Vos, will do to
them should they fail him again.

Although L3 was destroyed during the escape, Han might still make
the Kessel Run in time in the Millennium Falcon. If they can survive an
Imperial blockade first....
