In Solo: A Star Wars Story, we see Han’s stent in service to the Empire in only one scene as he defects from the ground troops on Mimban, fatefully befriends Chewbacca, and hitches a ride with Beckett’s crew. Han Solo: Imperial Cadet gives us the story of what happens to our favorite soon-to-be smuggler after he enlists on Corellia and before his mission to Mimban. In fact, this series shows how he was training to be a TIE fighter pilot, but how things quickly went awry. Plus, the series reintroduces the character of Valance, who goes on to star in Marvel’s Target Vader and Bounty Hunters titles!

After a wild sequence of events lands him in the brig overnight, Han is given one last shot at flight school. Will Han be top gun - or will he crash and burn?
