Han Solo Wants His Iconic Star Wars Ship Back in Hunt for the Falcon First Look (Exclusive)

by

In a more casual, conversational style: Han Solo and his spaceship, the Millennium Falcon, share a deep bond, similar to two soulmates. Fans first met the Millennium Falcon in 1977’s Star Wars: A New Hope, where it belonged to Han Solo, portrayed by Harrison Ford. As we found out in The Empire Strikes Back, Han managed to win the Falcon from Lando Calrissian during a card game. Although Han wasn’t its first owner, he has become almost inseparable from this Corellian freighter. A new Star Wars series is set to explore the history of the Millennium Falcon between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, when it was no longer under Han Solo’s control.

In an exclusive sneak peek, ComicBook unveils the initial glimpse of “Star Wars: Han Solo – The Falcon Chase” penned by Ramon Rosanas. The story commences with a distinguished Han Solo, sporting a sleek black coat, walking into a room. Adorning the table are holographic frames depicting him alongside his wife, Leia Organa, and their son, Ben Solo, before the tragic events that led to Ben’s betrayal of his uncle, Luke Skywalker, and his transformation into the villainous Kylo Ren in “The Force Awakens.


Moving forward, we delve into one of Han Solo’s numerous escapades in the Millennium Falcon. A piece by Ramon Rosanas depicts Han skillfully navigating the Falcon through rugged landscapes as it’s under attack from enemy ships. Han expertly executes a daring move to catch an assailant off guard. On the third panel, Han and Lando are seen nostalgically looking at another old photograph, likely sharing tales from their past battles.

In conclusion, we find Han leaping over a throng of people to snatch a vehicle for an ensuing pursuit. The objective of this chase remains a mystery, but it’s highly probable that it pertains to the Millennium Falcon.


Barnes expressed that writing ‘Han Solo – Hunt for the Falcon‘ feels like a childhood dream come true. Growing up, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, and Lando were his heroes. To create an adventure featuring this quartet (and even more characters!) is a great privilege for him, marking a big item off his bucket list!”

This paraphrase aims to convey the same meaning as the original sentence while using more natural and easily readable language.

Rodney is gathering characters that have interacted with the Falcon in the past and placing them in potentially lethal encounters,” explained editor Mark Paniccia. “It’s an exciting journey that showcases the essence of Han Solo while thrusting him into awkward predicaments. Remarkably, Ramon Rosanas is delivering some of his finest work on this project. This is a significant endeavor for him, and the precision he brings to the spacecraft and settings is breathtaking.
