Summary

Random House presents the audiobook of Solo: A Star Wars Story by Mur Lafferty, read by Marc Thompson.

This thrilling adaptation of Solo: A Star Wars Story expands on the film to include scenes from alternate versions of the script and other additional content, giving deeper insights into Han Solo’s years in the Imperial Navy, Qi’ra’s past, and the beginnings of the rebellion.


Though Han Solo has thrilled Star Wars fans for decades, the notorious wisecracking scoundrel was chasing adventure and dodging trouble long before he walked into the cantina at Mos Eisley spaceport.

Young Han dreams of someday soaring into space at the helm of his own starship and leaving his home, the gritty industrial planet Corellia, far behind. But as long as he’s trapped in a life of poverty and crime—and under the thumb of the sinister Lady Proxima and her brutal street gang—reaching the distant stars seems impossible. When Han tries to escape with his girlfriend and partner-in-crime, Qi’ra, he makes it out—but she doesn’t. Desperate for a way to find his own offworld vessel and free her, Han enlists in the Imperial Navy—the last place for a rebellious loner who doesn’t play well with others.

When the Empire clips his wings, Han goes rogue and plunges into the shady world of smugglers, gamblers, and con artists. There he meets the charming and cunning high roller Lando Calrissian, makes an unlikely friend in a cantankerous Wookiee called Chewbacca, and first lays eyes on the Millennium Falcon. To snag his piece of the outlaw pie, Han joins a crew of pirates to pull off a risky heist. The stakes are high, the danger is great, and the odds are slim. But never tell Han Solo the odds.

Great to have expanded version of the movie

Really enjoyable story, lots of adventure. Brilliantly narrated (as always, Marc Thompson). Great to have extra details/scenes which flesh out characters and link more into the wider saga

brilliant

This is a great adaptation of the movie. It gives real depth too the characters and the story. fans of the film will not be disappointed with the performance. the only let down is the sound of Chewbacca. instead of using sound bites from the films the narrator does a poor imitation. A minor for an otherwise good job.

much better than the film

I seriously enjoyed this book so much more than the film, its padded out in all the right places. I especially enjoyed the cameo during the epilogue (not maul) and wish it featured in the film.

marc thompson does an amazing job as always.
