I read the Han Solo trilogy when I was in elementary school.

Don't remember the Imperial pilot thing but it rings a bell.

From Star Wars: The New Essential Guide to Characters:

Quote:

...Solo enlisted in the Imperial Navy. For the next four years he trained at the Military Academy on Carida alongside such famous classmates as Soontir Fel and Mako SPince. He grauated at the top of his class and began service as a naval officer and TIE pilot.
While investigating a slaver freighter that had been carrying Wookiee slaves, Lieutenant Solo refused to kill the sole survivor when ordered to do so by his superior officer. Soon after, on Coruscant, Solo saved the same Wookiee from a savage beating at the hands of a construction overseer. For this second act of insubordination, he was drummed out of the Imperial Navy.

And that is Han Solo's career in the Imperial Navy... And his first meeting with Chewbacca. If anyone was interested... And pretty much nobody has ever been able to cover Han's and Chewie's meeting in detail since George wants to keep for himself, I guess. That's why you wouldn't really remember it much in either Han Solo trilogy...

I remember it now! Mako's name jogged my memory.

And the Han Solo books completely cover Han's and Chewie's meeting.

Chewbacca was gambling in a seedy bar and I believe he was accused of cheating. One of the guys he was playing against was going to shoot him but Han shot the guy first. Chewbacca then began following Han and when Han told him to go away, Chewbacca told him that he now owed him a life debt and would follow him wherever he went.

I should reread those books.

Really? I haven't read the books, but I was told it was only covered in a small flashback... Ah well. Guess I was told wrong.

Well the trilogy starts with Han as a child so it follows his life pretty extensively right up to his meeting with Obi-Wan Kenobi in the bar on Tatooine.

What do you think about Palpatine's shapeshift?

Thanks for the Han Solo info!

Question: Why does using Force Lightning deform and age Palpatine?
