| The Han Solo Adventures | comment |
The Han Solo Adventures are a series of Star Wars spin-off novels by Brian Daley, featuring Han Solo and Chewbacca in a time before they met Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker. They are among the very first original novels in the franchise, written when there was only one movie called Star Wars. Along with all the spin-offs of the time, they are now officially classed as "Legends".The three books in the series are Han Solo at Star's End (1979), Han Solo's Revenge (1979), and Han Solo and the Lost Legacy (1980). An omnibus edition titled The Han Solo Adventures was later published in 1992.Not to be confused with The Han Solo Trilogy, a separate series written some decades later by A. C. Crispin, although Crispin referenced these stories in hers (setting them during a Time Skip in the middle of Rebel Dawn, the third book of her trilogy). | |

Artistic License – Gun Safety | |
| The Han Solo Adventures / int_10134c97 | comment |
Artistic License – Gun Safety: Han Solo's Revenge has a scene where Han (who is an experienced gunman) deliberately removes the trigger guard from his weapon. He is heading into a hazardous situation where he might need his pistol and is donning environmental gear, but the glove of the environment suit is too thick for his finger to fit inside the trigger guard. Note: This is an actual thing on certain models of firearms (such as the M16), put in there expressly for this purpose. | |

Dirty Coward: President Hirken turns out to be one. When Star's End goes down, he demands that Han save him, because he is obviously too valuable to be left to his fate like the lower-ranking staff ... and ends up shot by his own wife for trying to desert his post like this. | |

The Trickster: Han Solo, to a degree. In the Brian Daley novels he pulls a wide array of tricks, with a playfulness that nicely offsets his grimmer, mercenary side. | |

Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil | |
| The Han Solo Adventures / int_28b2f93a | comment |
Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: Han and Chewie are happy to transport all kinds of things, ranging from the illegal (guns, drugs, escaped convicts) to the bizarre (nature documentaries). Their one hard rule is that they will not, ever, transport slaves. When a trafficker tries to force them to do so, it ends very badly for him. | |

The Drifter | |
| The Han Solo Adventures / int_2b1d7c0a | comment |
The Drifter: Han and Chewie are basically this in the Corporate Sector. Other novels, set in the more familiar parts of the galaxy, have them mostly attached to the same boss (Jabba) and plant roots in the same area of space (Nar Shaddaa, Tatooine). In this trilogy, they move from planet from planet and from employer to employer, never staying tied down anywhere for too long. Each book also features them getting drawn into someone else's business despite their (or at least Han's) better judgment and desire to be left alone (freeing political prisoners in the first book, cleaning up an illegal slaving ring in the second, an archaeological treasure hunt in the third). | |

Artifact Title: The original releases of the books were subtitled From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker, matching the branding of Splinter of the Mind's Eye and the A New Hope novelization, but Luke himself does not appear in any of them, being set before Han and Chewie ever met him. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| The Han Solo Adventures / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Corporate Sector Riot Gun in Han Solo at Star's End. It can fire a constant stream of energy (used for mowing down a crowd as "crowd control") that can clear a room of combatants in a hurry. However, it has very poor aiming characteristics, as Han finds out when trying to shoot at Espos using its single-shot mode. It can only hit effectively on "constant fire," which dramatically increases the chances of friendly casualties in a pitched battle. | |

Inheritance Murder: The Mole in Han Solo at Stars' End does a variant of this. He tips off the Corporate Sector that his father and older brother are speaking against them, knowing this will get his relatives either killed or arrested and leave him in control of the family fortune. When they're merely sent to a prison facility, he attempts to sabotage efforts to rescue them. | |

Deliberate Injury Gambit: In Han Solo's Revenge, Han is facing the one man he's ever met who's a quicker draw than him, so avoids a duel by shocking both their right arms into useless paralysis; the gunman is forced to retreat, because Han is ambidextrous. | |

Zerg Rush: In The Lost Legacy, Guardian Corps droids perish by the dozens in the mining camp battle, being run over by construction vehicles or shot by firing lines of riflemen, turret gunners, or the cannons of a freighter. However, few of those initially successful opponents survive, as hundreds of robots concentrate on them until the war robots' combined numbers and power are too much. | |

Improvised Weapon: In Han Solo and the Lost Legacy, one of the Maltorran workers at the mining camp grabs a beamdrill, a short-range cutting tool that produces intense plasma-beam pulses that can cut through almost any material and is traditionally used as a mining tool, and fires its beam directly into one of Xim's war droids. Unfortunately, the beam hits the droid's power core and causes it to explode, killing the Maltorran in the process. | |

| The Han Solo Adventures / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: As one of the very first novels in what would later become the Star Wars Expanded Universe (and even later be rebranded the Legends continuity), Han Solo at Star's End uses somewhat different science fiction terminology than what would later become the norm in the setting. For example, the word "robot" occurs somewhat frequently, whereas in later works robots are usually called "droids" in most contexts. | |

Gallandro wins the quick draw and wounds Han, but shortly thereafter steps into a restricted zone with his drawn gun, activating a no-weapons system. Gallandro is cut down by a dozen lasers at once. | |

Thrown Out the Airlock: In Han Solo at Star's End, Han determines that one of the people on his ship is The Mole. The traitor flees, hoping to find a place on the Falcon where he can hole up, but stumbles into the airlock instead. Once he gets the information he needs, Han remarks that it's just as well he stumbled into the airlock since he would've ended up there anyway, and opens the outer door. | |

Insectoid Aliens | |
| The Han Solo Adventures / int_63f22889 | comment |
Insectoid Aliens: Skynx the Ruurian in Han Solo and the Lost Legacy resembles a giant fuzzy caterpillar. He has eight sets of limbs which function as both arms and legs, and he will eventually form a chrysalis and metamorphose into a "chroma-wing" (read: butterfly) which is unintelligent and cares only for mating. An expert in pre–Old Republic history, he wants to experience a real human-style adventure before he reaches the end of the intelligent stage of his life. Despite being a Non-Action Guy academic, Skynx's strange biology proves incredibly useful during the journey, as his style of movement is both very stealthy and excellent at climbing sheer rock faces. The Kamarians in the Batman Cold Open of Han Solo's Revenge are more traditional looking insect people, with four arms, chitin, and a distinctly fly looking face. | |

Unusual in that she isn't threatening them with jail time. Rather, Han is on the verge of seeing the Millennium Falcon repossessed by one of his creditors, and Fiolla promises the collections agent that she will pay off their loan... after they've helped her complete her job. | |

Cryo-Prison: In Han Solo at Star's End, Star's End prison keeps thousands of prisoners the Corporate Sector Authority finds inconvenient in stasis, including Chewie, only thawing them out for interrogation sessions before putting them back under. Han and his companions are sorely confused when they infiltrate Star's End, finding few of the personnel or support structures needed for a prison of the size they're expecting, before discovering the truth. | |

Cargo Cult | |
| The Han Solo Adventures / int_8f746311 | comment |
Cargo Cult: Han Solo and the Lost Legacy features a group of cargo cultists who are the descendants of the crew of the treasure-laden starship of an ancient warlord; they have lived on a backwater planet for generations, maintaining sacred "landing fields" complete with mock-ups of spaceships and ritualized "communications procedures." As it turns out, a few of them know the truth—that they are safeguarding the warlord's hidden treasure, waiting for the chance to use it to reestablish his empire—while using the rest of the cultists as unknowing support. Han inadvertently creates one in the Batman Cold Open of Han Solo's Revenge when he and Chewie try to run a legitimate holotheatre on the desert planet of Kamarr. Han had been running a travel guide of a water planet to the water starved natives and ended up starting a religion by accident. The cult became violently upset when Han started showing a new video and chased them off the planet, leading into the main plot. | |

Covert Distress Code | |
| The Han Solo Adventures / int_aa0b5ae8 | comment |
Covert Distress Code: In Han Solo's Revenge, when Han is being marched back to the Falcon at gunpoint, he is warned to not make any suspicious moves or attempt to signal to Chewbacca, who is waiting in the Falcon. However, not attempting to signal Chewbacca is his covert distress code, since if all had been well he would have given an "all clear" signal. Chewbacca is waiting for him to give the all-clear signal, and deploys the ship's guns when he doesn't get it. | |

MegaCorp | |
| The Han Solo Adventures / int_aa8dcc21 | comment |
Mega-Corp: The Corporate Sector Authority is a big-business-out-of-control counterpart to the Empire's big-government-out-of-control. It's described as "owner, employer, landlord, government, and military," and obsessively preoccupied with stamping out competition from small-time, independent "freighter bums" like Han and Chewie. The Empire, for its part, mostly leaves the CSA alone to run its systems as it sees fit. | |

Girl of the Week | |
| The Han Solo Adventures / int_b892dd2d | comment |
Girl of the Week: Played with. There's a different female lead in all three novels (Jess, Fiolla, and Hasti). In the first case, the two of them clearly have had (and have again, towards the end) a relationship. In the second case, despite plenty of flirtatious banter, nothing happens...but then, at the end of the book, it does seem likely Han and Fiolla will at least have some kind of brief fling ("I might just have to hold on to one of my hostages a little longer"). In the third case, Hasti actually rejects him and deconstructs the idea, saying that there's no future in a relationship with a girl-in-every-port space captain. | |

Berserk Button: Han doesn't react well to those who mistreat his ship or his friends. And, if Chewie is in danger, Han will flat out murder anyone who tries to keep him from going to his partner's aid. Also, Han will not carry slaves, and anyone trying to make him, as in Han Solo's Revenge, had best run far and fast. | |

Our Showers Are Different | |
| The Han Solo Adventures / int_bf23f967 | comment |
Our Showers Are Different: In Han Solo and the Lost Legacy Han pays for the use of an "omniron" at a spa. Feeling the need for distraction, Han sets it for "maximum treatment", which includes fifteen-second cycles of icy water, "sonics" that vibrate his skin, waves of heat, streams of detergent, foam, air nozzles, and emollients applied by "autoapplicators". Meanwhile, Chewbacca is enjoying the use of a room dedicated to "more hirsute clientele"; while he floats in a zero-gee field, an electrostatic charge separates each of his individual hairs so that old oils and other dirt can be removed, before new oils and conditioners are applied. Other areas in the spa provide a wide variety of other services for many other species (such as "gill-flushes" for "piscine or amphibian life forms"). | |

Crippling the Competition: In Han Solo's Revenge, Han gets roped into a formal duel against the notorious gunslinger Gallandro. He conspires to stun both of their right hands; this forces Gallandro to concede since Solo is ambidextrous and Gallandro isn't. | |

Killer Bear Hug | |
| The Han Solo Adventures / int_d43733d6 | comment |
Killer Bear Hug: Chewbacca eventually inflicts one of these on Egome Fass in Han Solo and the Lost Legacy. Their final fight (after the two have repeatedly crossed paths) ends with the two heavyweights simply grabbing each other in their arms and squeezing, alternating lifting each other clear of the ground. Chewie eventually wins, finally squeezing Fass until something important (presumably Fass' spine) goes CRACK. | |

| The Han Solo Adventures / int_d525f857 | comment |
Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: Averted. It's mentioned that even with the large amount of space the Empire controls, even more is outside its domain. All of Han's adventures in this series take place in the Corporate Sector, a mostly-uninhabited region controlled and exploited by various corporations with the Empire never making a physical appearance. | |

Ram by Braking | |
| The Han Solo Adventures / int_d5360b8 | comment |
Ram by Braking: Han pulls this off in a spaceship in Han Solo at Star's End. The Millennium Falcon is temporarily attached to a gigantic freight barge (normally a strictly robot-controlled vessel) but a pursuing Corporate Sector Authority dreadnought has managed to lock on with a Tractor Beam. Han dumps the barge's cargo of grain into the warship's Tractor Beam (temporarily blinding the warship's sensors), activates the barge's retrothrusters, and then blasts the Falcon loose. The battlewagon collides with the barge (slicing the barge in half while the dreadnought also takes considerable damage) while the Falcon successfully speeds away. | |

Bluffing the Murderer: In Han Solo at Star's End. While ferrying a group of people to find the top-secret prison called Star's End, Han discovers the leader of the mission dead and the data pad containing the prison's secret location destroyed. After he locks up the others while he tries to sort things out, he discovers that the dead leader had scratched the location into the table he was found dead on. Han then tells everyone to calculate a hyperspace jump to the correct star system, but he deliberately gives everyone the wrong planet. He then outs the killer as the one who corrected his calculations by using the right planet. | |

Quick Draw: All three novels feature Han in quick draw situations. In Han Solo at Star's End and Han Solo's Revenge, Han uses trickery and avoids a true fight against, respectively, Uul Rha Shan and Gallandro. In Han Solo and the Lost Legacy, Han actually does draw against Gallandro, and loses, getting wounded. Shortly thereafter, Gallandro is outdrawn... by automated laser beams. | |

Worthless Treasure Twist | |
| The Han Solo Adventures / int_edf841f6 | comment |
Worthless Treasure Twist: Han Solo and the Lost Legacy involves Han and Chewie getting involved with a bunch of treasure-hunters looking for the lost treasure of Xim the Despot, a pre-Republic warlord who once ruled a mighty empire and reputedly left behind an immense (but possibly mythical) treasure. They wind up finding the "treasure," but it turns out to be a large stockpile of stuff that was vital and hard-to-find strategic war supplies back in Xim's day, but has long since become obsolete or common as dirt. Han and Chewie are able to scrounge just enough valuables out of the junk to more-or-less break even on the whole fiasco, while their companions have to be content with treating the treasure as an archeological find—one large enough to occupy the rest of Skynx's academic career, so he promptly hires the others to assist him in cataloguing and studying it. | |

Good Old Robot: Bollux is an ancient labor droid whose long experience more than makes up for his obsolete body, which can be (and has been) modified anyway. After he is partnered with a young and high-tech hacking droid named Blue Max, who is concealed within Bollux's chest cavity, during Han Solo at Star's End, they join Han on his adventures to see more of the galaxy. Han is able to put aside his usual distrust of droids in their case. | |
