Go To

Han Solo at Stars' End

  • Han gets to show just how good he is flying fighters while helping the outlaw techs defend their base. He kills some pretty tough opponents while becoming more and more invested in the survival of his companions after initially being reluctant to help them.
  • The moment where The Mole is Thrown Out the Airlock is pretty cathartic after everything the creep did, and also shows why you should never, ever do anything to endanger Chewbacca if Han is around.
  • The Dog Bites Back prison revolt where all kinds of prisoners get free and kill their abusive guards, such as when three simian prisoners climb after a guard shooting from a ladder and throw him down to the others.
  • Bollux deactivating a much larger gladiator droid after being forced into a fight with it.

Han Solo's Revenge

  • Han and Chewbacca refuse to deal with a group of slavers, and when the gang takes them prisoner, they quickly get free and defeat a Giant Mook and a Fluffy Tamer who has a deadly nashtash on a leash.
  • The chase scene where Han and Fiolla fight goons on swoop bikes and both sides use the flames and exhaust from their engines as weapons against their opponents.
  • The Reveal that mysterious bureaucrat Odumin has been Good All Along, hiding in plain sight, and working with Gallandro to bring down the slavers with Cowboy Cop methods while using Han as a catspaw so the slavers will feel confident showing themselves against an opponent without any official backing.
  • Han tricks Gallandro into injuring his preferred hand with an electric shock to ensure that the legendary gunman will be disadvantaged if he still insists on fighting, making the odds roughy even. The two still have a Mexican Standoff for a while before Gallandro decided not to risk a fight now but to seek revenge later once he recovers.

Han Solo and the Lost Legacy

  • The Long List of reasons that Gallandro is a Living Legend, most notably how he singlehandedly went to war with a whole guild of professional assassins and won.
  • After a sleazy government official tries to arrest some respectable dissidents and screw over Han (who is transporting them), Han defeats the government goons and lets his passengers broadcast a planet-wide message exposing what the government tried to do.
  • The battle between the Guardian Corps robots and outlaw mining camp, with Han and his friends caught in the middle, has some stunning action scenes from everyone involved, but many unnamed Punch-Clock Villain miners get the best moments. Several take on robots with digging tools or their bare hands, although this often ends in a Mutual Kill at best. Two mining technicians go on a Construction Vehicle Rampage and run over robots in an effort to escape. Another group around a turret gun gets surrounded and frantically spins the gun in a circle to take out attackers from every side as the robots Zerg Rush them.
  • Chewbacca and Giant Mook Egome Fass have two fights, both of which begin with Fass hitting Chewie from behind. The second time, Chewbacca stays on his feet and furiously starts slugging it out with Fass, breaking his back with a prolonged bear hug at the end of the fight.
