Han is willing to undertake even greater gambles to secure his biggest payout yet. However, even someone like him understands this task requires a team.
Han Solo ought to be luxuriating in the afterglow of his triumph. After all, the audacious smuggler and captain of the Millennium Falcon played a pivotal part in the audacious assault that annihilated the Death Star, striking the initial significant blow against the Empire in its conflict with the Rebel Alliance. Nevertheless, having forfeited the reward he earned through his acts of heroism, Han finds himself with nothing to celebrate. This is especially true since he is heavily indebted to the merciless crime boss, Jabba the Hutt. A bounty has been placed on Han's head—and if he fails to produce the necessary credits, he will undoubtedly pay with his life. The sole recourse that can rescue him is a king's ransom. Or perhaps a gangster's wealth? That is precisely what a mysterious figure is proposing in exchange for Han's assistance, which falls outside the bounds of legality, in a venture riskier than usual. The reward will far surpass what Han needs to settle his debt with Jabba—ensuring he never needs to negotiate with the Hutts again.
His task involves infiltrating the heavily guarded fortress of a Black Sun crime syndicate underboss and breaching the galaxy's most notoriously impenetrable vault. This sounds like a task suited for either miracle workers or lunatics. Consequently, Han gathers a collection of rogues who embody both qualities—including his indispensable companion Chewbacca and the astute Lando Calrissian. If anyone possesses the ability to evade, outwit, and overcome heavily armed thugs, deadly droids, and Imperial agents alike—and successfully execute the heist of the century—it is Solo's band of scoundrels. However, will their criminal endeavor truly yield a reward, or will it exact the ultimate toll?
