Han Solo | Comics

A young human orphan from Corellia, who grew up to be galaxies' most notorious smuggler, Han Solo used to work for Jabba the Hutt after finishing the Kessel Run within twelve parsecs. He mostly hangs out with his Wookiee best-bud Chewbacca, who is also his first mate aboard the Millennium Falcon ship and has a friendly rivalry going on with fellow smuggler Lando Calrissian. His life was completely changed when he agreed to take young Luke Skywalker, veteran Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and their droids R2-D2 and C-3PO to Alderaan system for a pretty hefty payment.

Solo lost his parents in a very early age and rose by pirate Garris Shrike along with his crew before he finally escaped as a teen. From then, Han started out as an outlaw smuggler, working for his own interests. He had a short history with Bria Tharen of the Rebel Alliance until she left him for the sake of her duties. When he saved a Wookiee named Chewbacca from the internment of an Imperial officer, it became his closest ally and swore a life debt to the outlaw. The Millennium Falcon actually belonged to Lando, which Han won in a gamble and used for his future endeavors.

A New Hope
Solo and Chewbacca were at Cantina looking for some ways to pay off his debts to Jabba or he is in trouble. When former Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi approached him for a safe passage to the Alderaan system with Luke Skywalker and the droids, Han charged them more than his usual. Surprisingly, Obi-Wan raised his bid before leaving the place, offering more than what was asked for and that made Han quickly accept the job. Seeing a way to finally pay Jabba the Hutt, he sends Chewbacca to get the ship ready. Before leaving the Cantina, Solo came across bounty hunter Greedo and shot him first.

He soon is confronted by Jabba with his bounty hunter Boba Fett and barely managed to convince them to let him go so he can repay the Hutt. As they were about to leave, Stormtroopers shot at them but Solo ditched them and two Imperial Star Destroyers as they jumped into hyperspace. Although, a non-believer of the Force, Han witnessed its power when he saw Obi-Wan training Luke but still remained skeptical. The band reached to Alderaan systems when it was already destroyed and discovered the Imperial space station, Death Star, which pulled them in.

Darth Vader ordered the Stormtroopers to search the ship and Han Solo took them down to go looking for Princess Leia in their guise with Luke. After rescuing Princess Leia Organa, he eventually got involved with the Rebellion to oppose The Empire. Obi-Wan sacrifice himself in a lightsaber duel with Vader so that they could escape in Millennium Falcon to Yavin IV. Although Han wanted to leave right away after collecting his payment, he eventually fought alongside the rebels in the Battle of Yavin before Luke destroyed the Death Star for the Rebellion.

The Empire Strikes Back
Three years after blowing up the Death Star, the Rebellion has moved to ice planet of Hoth and Han Solo goes looking for a missing Luke. He finds Luke unconscious and managed to rescue him after keeping his friend from freezing to death. Upon convinced by bounty hunter Ord Mantell, Han finally decides to pay his debt to Jabba the Hutt but Princess Leia thought he was leaving and requests him to stay with the rebels. Han thought Leia romantic feelings, which resulted in a heated conversation.

Han Solo and Chewbacca found and destroyed one of the probe droids employed by Vader but by then, it has managed to inform Imperial fleet about the rebels. Darth Vader heads toward Hoth with reinforcements and the rebels attempt to retreat beyond outer rim. When the Sith Lord arrived on Hoth, Leia is rescued by Han and escaped in Millennium Falcon alongside C-3PO and Chewbacca. Aboard the ship, Han and Leia shared a passionate kiss before ditching the Imperial fleet into an asteroid field.

Unable to make a hyperspace jump, Han Solo land on an asteroid to repair the ship but the threat of space slug Exogorth forced them to flee to Cloud City. There, Han and his group are welcomed by his old friend Lando Calrissian, who runs the place. Meanwhile, Vader summons a few bounty hunters to bring the Millennium Falcon to him and Boba Fett eventually tracks them to Cloud City. Lando lured Han, Leia and Chewbacca to a room where Darth Vader was already waiting for them. Since he planned to put Luke into suspended animation, Vader froze Han in carbonite and handed him over to Boba Fett.

Return of the Jedi
Frozen in carbonite, Han Solo is taken to Jabba's Palace by bounty hunter Boba Fett and Jabba the Hutt kept him as his most favorite trophy. Following his previous battle with Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and his friends came to rescue Han from captivity. Whatever ruse he tried with Jabba didn't quite catch on and upon discovering that they all are here to free Han, he condemned them to Sarlacc pit. Han was still experiencing temporary blindness because of the hibernation and in the ensuing chaos; he shot Fett's jetpack, sending him into Sarlacc.

Back at his feet, Han joined forces with the rebellion once again and by this time, The Empire has already built the second Death Star. Han became General Solo during the Battle of Endor and led the rebels to blow up the shield generator of Imperial super-weapon. On the forest moon of Endor, their group had a run-in with Ewoks tribe, who eventually helped the rebels in their mission. Seeing the strong resolve of his son for him, Vader manages to kill Darth Sidious to save Luke and following the destruction of the second Death Star, Han and Leia finally reunites.

The Force Awakens
Galactic Empire has fallen thirty years ago and now The First Order is menacing the galaxy, while General Leia Organa oppose them with the Resistance at her side. An elderly Han Solo and Chewbacca pulled the Millennium Falcon with a tractor beam after finding it on Jakku, only to discover scavenger Rey, former First Order Stormtrooper Finn and droid unit BB-8 inside his ship. These three were running from Imperial Troops looking for the droid, who now has the map leading to the location of self-exiled Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, whom both the The First Order and Leia is looking for.

Han and Leia had a son named Ben Solo, a Force-sensitive child who was sent to the newly built Jedi Temple of Luke Skywalker to train with him. However, the boy was seduced by Supreme Leader Snoke of the First Order to the dark side and he ultimately became a Sith Lord named Kylo Ren. Han then went back to smuggling and returns years later to help the Resistance take down the First Order after coming to meet Leia. With Chewbacca, Finn and Rey, Solo goes to his final mission at Starkiller Base, where he confronts his son to reach out to him only to be stabbed by a lightsaber and fall to his death.

Darth Vader | Comics

Before becoming one of the most feared and powerful Sith Lords to ever control The Dark Side of the Force at his will, Anakin Skywalker was born as a Force-sensitive child to his mother Shmi Skywalker on the on the Outer Rim's desert of Tatooine. The boy was later discovered and enlisted in the Jedi Order by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, who believed according to an ancient prophecy that Anakin is The Chosen One who will one day restore balance to The Force by defeating the Sith.

From the very young age, the boy showed exceptional wits considering his age and mastery with machinery as he built the protocol droid C-3PO out of scavenging parts. As a child, he was a very skilled Podracer and in his youth, he became the greatest pilot in the galaxy. Always troubled with his emotions has made him vulnerable to be corrupted by The Dark Side. This is why his Jedi peers were concerned about him all the time as they believe it can cloud their judgment.

The Phantom Menace
The birth of Anakin Skywalker was always a mystery as there was no father and his mother Shmi was a slave to Gardulla the Hutt. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi eventually lands on Tatooine with Queen Padmé Amidala, Jar Jar Binks and R2-D2 after their meeting with Trade Federation going south. The group finds young Anakin working as a slave at Watto's shop and Jinn sensed presence of the Force within the boy and took him along after he managed to earn his freedom by winning a Podrace.

He presents young Anakin to the Jedi Council but they refuse his request of training the boy as he was also quite vulnerable to the corruption of The Dark Side. Regardless, Qui-Gon Jinn decides to train the boy but then heads to Naboo for a more pressing matter. There he dies battling Darth Maul and requests Obi-Wan to take the boy as his Padawan. In the mean time, Anakin sneaked into a starfighter that took him to space and he destroyed the Federation's Droid Control Ship from within.

Attack of the Clones
Trained by his new Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi from his childhood, Anakin grew up to be a great Jedi warrior who quickly made a name for himself. Obi-Wan and Anakin were appointed to protect Senator Padmé Amidala as attempts on her life have been made. The duo chases a shape-shifting assassin after one such attempt and then Anakin takes Padmé back to Naboo. Having frequent visions of his mother in peril, he travels back to Tatooine only to learn that she was kidnapped by by Tusken Raiders a week prior.

Upon finding her mother in their camp who dies shortly, a vengeful Anakin slaughters every one of the Tuskens. Anakin and Padmé travels to Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan but got captured instead. These three are taken to the Geonosis arena for execution and following the arrival of a Jedi strike team, Anakin gives chase to Count Dooku. He and Obi-Wan engaged the Dark Lord in a lightsaber duel. Dooku cuts off Anakin's right arm after beating him in combat but forced to flee upon Yoda's arrival.

Revenge of the Sith
As he was growing ever so formidable and made a name for himself Anakin was enrolled to the Jedi High Council but they did not grant him the rank of a Master, which upsets him. He secretly tied the nuptial knots with his childhood love and then a Senator; Padmé Amidala. Though they were both happy with each other and expecting their baby, soon a cryptic vision of Padmé dying during childbirth starts haunting him greatly. To save his love from certain demise and finding no other way out, Anakin is persuaded by the malevolent Darth Sidious in the guise of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.

He eventually submits to The Dark Side of the Force seeing no other way to evade the prophecy of Padmé's death. Sidious gave him the name of Darth Vader before taking him as his apprentice and sent him against the Jedi. He killed all the younglings before burning down the Jedi Temple. Vader went on a merciless killing spree and on Mustafar, he faced off against his former master Obi-Wan after slaying all of the Separatist Council. Vader's organic limbs were mutilated in the following battle due to his growing arrogance and Obi-Wan left him near a lava river to die.

Imperial Machine
The battle with Obi-Wan Kenobi, left Vader physically and mentally scarred on Mustafar. As he was left for dead, Emperor Palpatine arrives to take him back to Coruscant to patch him up. Vader's entire body was fitted with cybernetics and a life-sustaining suit of armor. Upon learning that Padmé has died, he angrily slammed his master with the Force. Palpatine told him to live through pain or die and he chose the latter. The Emperor then struck his pupil with Force lightning and told him to defend himself with his lightsaber, which he lost on Mustafar.

Palpatine enlightens Vader on why the Jedi and Siths have different color of lightsabers. A Sith's lightsaber is not given but taken from a Jedi and so he tasks his apprentice to earn his own. Darth Vader embarks a journey on the Mid Rim to hunt down a lone Jedi Master Kirak Infil'a and engaged him on the river moon of Al'doleem. Though, Infil'a easily defeated him the first time and left him into pieces, Vader manages to defeat him on their second encounter and took the lightsaber from him. In a Sith cave of Mustafar, Vader tries to corrupt the kyber crystal of Infil'a's lightsaber and eventually succeeded.

Rogue One
After the destruction of Jedha City, Darth Vader calls the Death Star project in-charge Director Orson Krennic on Mustafar. There was a concern regarding engineer Galen Erso being a traitor and there is now a possibility of the Rebellion knowing about their super-weapon. Vader also expresses his disappointment at the decision of blowing up Jedha City as it was being used for the mining of kyber crystals for the Empire. Recently, Governor Tarkin had Krennic removed from the Death Star project upon its completion, so he blamed this on Tarkin but Vader don't care about what he has to say anymore.

A New Hope
Upon losing his friends, family and all he believed in, Vader enrolled himself under the command of The Empire and become one of the dominant and the most dreaded Sith Lords who ever lived. As he learned about the rebel spies stealing the Death Star plans and sent it to the rebel flagship, Darth Vader immediately boards there with a group of stormtroopers and starts slaughtering the rebels. In the mean time, Princess Leia manages to hide the plans within R2-D2 and send him to Tatooine in an escape pod with C-3PO to find Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Vader sent stormtroopers to get that escape pod on Tatooine, who upon failing to locate the droids have killed the relatives of Luke Skywalker. Princess Leia was taken to Death Star for interrogation and as she disagreed to co-operate, Alderaan was blown off. When Han Solo's ship the Millennium Falcon was inside Death Star, Obi-Wan Kenobi engaged Vader in a lightsaber duel to allow safe passage to the others and then sacrificed himself. The Dark Lord has tracked down Rebel base on Yavin 4 and then rebel starfighters takes a last stand against the Empire. Luke managed to blow up the Death Star after quite a hustle.

The Empire Strikes Back
Three years have passed since the Rebels destroyed the Death Star and now built a new base on the icy planet of Hoth. Darth Vader has been looking for Rebel base around the galaxy along with the Imperial Fleet with his own intent of finding Luke Skywalker. In a conversation with Darth Sidious, Vader learns that Luke is actually Anakin's son, yet he remained adamant to bring the boy in and turn him to The Dark Side. As Luke sees Han and Leia troubled in one of his vision during his stay in Dagobah, he leaves to save them abandoning his training with Yoda.

Vader wanted to put Luke in a suspended animation and took Han as a test subject to be frozen in carbonite. He later tracks them back to Cloud City after they escaped and gets into a lightsaber duel with Luke. At one point, he chopped off Luke's right hand during the fight but he still refuses to join The Dark Side and accused Vader for the murder of his father, only for the latter to reveal that he is Luke's father. Luke couldn't handle this truth and immediately falls through the shaft to make an escape.

Return of the Jedi
Within the next six months Death Star II was completely built where the Emperor arrived as Vader and battalion of stormtroopers greeted him. Meanwhile, Luke rescues his friends from Jabba's palace with Leia killing Jabba by strangling to death and Han dropping bounty hunter Boba Fett into the Sarlacc. Emperor Palpatine senses Vader growing restless to go to moon of Endor looking for Luke and he sent his apprentice to bring the boy to him. Luke willingly comes surrendering to The Empire in an attempt to talk Vader out of The Dark Side to no avail.

When confronted by Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith tries to seduce Luke to The Dark Side and he lashed out his lightsaber at Sidious only to be stopped by Vader. This time Luke managed to defeat his father using anger but when he is asked by the Emperor to kill him, Luke refuses and the Dark Lord attacks him with Force lightning. As Luke asked for his help, Vader threw The Emperor through a reactor shaft, killing him and thus fulfilling the prophecy. Due to his selfless sacrifice, he was allowed to join Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda in the afterlife as a Force-spirit of Anakin Skywalker.

The Force Awakens
Even years after his death, Vader's legacy continued to the New Republic, where he was a subject of controversy. Princess Leia resigned from the Galactic Senate when Vader being her biological father was made known. Fanatics and cults admiring him start rising and eventually The First Order was born. After Leia and Han's Force-sensitive son Ben Solo was seduced to The Dark Side by the villainous Snoke, he became Kylo Ren with a great admiration for his grandfather Darth Vader. Kylo even possessed Vader's disfigured helmet which he talks to whenever he feels the pull towards the light.

Supreme Leader Snoke orders General Hux to fire their Death Star-like super-weapon at Starkiller Base and they wipe out the Republic capital. As BB-8's map deemed incomplete, Han tells his crew that Luke actually tried to rebuild Jedi Order before going into exile but one of his student gone rogue by giving in to The Dark Side and burned the Jedi Temple after killing other students. Rey starts having visions after finding the lightsaber of Anakin Skywalker and Kylo captures her. Starkiller Base prepares to fire on Resistance base at D'Qar and the trio of Han, Chewbacca and Finn flies there.

In an attempt to bring Kylo from his path, Han sacrifices himself while unsuccessfully trying to convince him to leave the Dark Side. An enraged Chewbacca shoots and wound Kylo as they try to escape the base. Finn is taken out in a lightsaber duel with Kylo Ren but could barely hold him against the Sith Lord for long. Rey then took control of the lightsaber and managed to hold her off as the Starkiller Base is destroyed by the Resistance. The sudden awakening of R2-D2 reveals the location of the map where Luke Skywalker is and Rey finds him on a distant island.

The Last Jedi
Although Starkiller Base was previously destroyed, Supreme Leader Snoke led the First Order to General Leia Organa's Resistance base at D'Qar and the rebels are forced to flee. Poe Dameron led a dangerous mission to destroy a First Order dreadnought that cost the lives of many and they all jump to hyperspace. Surprisingly, they are still being followed and while Kylo Ren hesitates to shoot, a TIE fighter blows up the part where Leia was. She survives the vacuum of space using The Force and is hospitalized once inside, leaving Vice Admiral Holdo in charge.

With Chewbacca and R2-D2, Rey reaches on Ahch-To on Millennium Falcon to take Luke Skywalker back to help the Resistance but he is still adamant to remain in exile for failing Kylo and believes the Jedi should extinct. Meanwhile, Rey and Kylo contact each other using the Force as she learns what really happened to Ben Solo. Luke confesses that he considered killing his nephew sensing his corruption but the boy survived and destroyed Luke's Jedi Order. Rey leaves Luke behind to try and redeem Kylo from The Dark Side.

Admiral Holdo plans for their evacuation in small transports but Poe leads a revolt, while a recently awake Finn, Rose and BB-8 goes to Canto Bight looking for a hacker named DJ who can help them disrupt the First Order's tracking device. Once inside Snoke's ship, they all got captured by Captain Phasma and Rey willingly arrives to convince Kylo. As she is presented in front of Supreme Leader, he reveals that the Force connection they felt earlier was made by him. Snoke orders his apprentice to kill Rey but he killed his master instead and fought the Praetorian Guard with Rey.

Though Rey believed that Kylo Ren has changed, he offers her to rule the galaxy by his side and starts struggling for control over Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber when she refuses. Ultimately, the lightsaber splits in two, Kylo gets knocked over and Rey escapes to help her friends. Sending Leia and other to a long-deserted base on Crait, Admiral Holdo stays behind and then rams her ship to Snoke's ship at light speed, critically damaging it. BB-8, Finn and Rose managed to survive their execution and join the rest on Crait.

Declaring him the new Supreme Leader, Kylo Ren led the First Order to Battle of Crait and Resistance fighters barely put up a battle against them. Luke Skywalker appears out of the blue and after comforting Leia, he goes to face the First Order. He orders everyone to fire at Luke and even after a massive rain of fire, Luke came out unharmed. An enraged Kylo decides to face Luke face to face but unable to hit him. Finally, it was revealed that Luke was never here and Force-projected himself for the Resistance to flee. Thus, the Rebellion is reborn and he dies of exhaustion.
