Han Solo & Chewbacca 4

"It's absolutely a challenge but it's a fun one. In fact, I'm doubling down on it – literally and figuratively – in issue #4, which is told exclusively from Chewie's P.O.V. and features newly minted Disney+ star Krrsantan. So in that issue, we have two Shyriiwook-speaking characters. Should be a piece of cake. No problem, at all…"

Opening crawl

THE CRYSTAL RUN, Part 4 
It is a golden age of criminal enterprise. With the evil GALACTIC
EMPIRE preoccupied with bringing the galaxy under its
thumb, scoundrels and thieves are free to ply their illegal
trade with abandon.

The vile gangster Jabba the Hutt has hired Han Solo,
Chewbacca, and Greedo to steal an urn containing the ashes
of his archrival.

With the help of the man claiming to be Han's father, they
have located the urn on the remote world of Antillion. Han
and his father were about to abscond with the item when
they were attacked by the bounty hunter Krrsantan….

Plot summary

Han's capture

After locating the urn in the penthouse, Han and a man claiming to be his father, Ovan, are ambushed by Krrsantan. The bounty hunter takes Han hostage and flees.

Chewie's rescue plan

Unbeknownst to Krrsantan, Chewbacca manages to attach a tracker to the bounty hunter's ship. Chewie then picks up the injured Ovan and gives chase in the Millennium Falcon.

The Wookiee showdown

When Chewbacca catches up to Krrsantan, the two powerful Wookiees engage in a brutal "death-duel". The fight is depicted almost entirely from Chewie's perspective, using Wookiee dialogue.

A temporary victory

Using a thermal detonator, Chewbacca subdues Krrsantan and rescues Han. However, the duo's success is short-lived.

The disappearing Falcon

When Han and Chewie return, they find the Millennium Falcon and Ovan are both missing, leaving them stranded on the planet.
