Han Solo made his name as a smuggler piloting the Millennium Falcon, a freighter he owned outright. He was running cargo for Jabba the Hutt when an Imperial cruiser forced him to jettison his entire shipment to escape—a decision that cost him dearly. Jabba put a price on his head for the lost goods, a debt that would haunt him for years.
He initially agreed to help Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi rescue Princess Leia Organa mainly for the promised credits, but found himself drawn into the Rebellion's cause. What started as a one-off job turned into a long commitment fighting against the Empire, alongside Luke and Leia herself.
