This rebel soldier was saved by Han Solo after being attacked by the Galactic Empire.
Biography
While onboard a House of Tagge merchant ship, this rebel soldier and his crew were attacked by the Galactic Empire and staged to look like the Alliance to Restore the Republic attacked them. While he floated in space, Han Solo and Chewbacca noticed the soldier and rescued him. The soldier told Solo, Chewbacca, and Princess Leia Organa about the setup before Imperial forces arrived to shoot down the Millennium Falcon. As Solo flew to The Wheel to seek cover, the rebel soldier died from his injuries sustained from the ensuing attack.[2] Chewbacca then disposed of the body while Solo, Organa, R2-D2, and C-3PO tried to help Luke Skywalker.[3]

Notes and references
- ↑ The events of Star Wars 18 take place after the Battle of Yavin and prior to the events of Star Wars (1977) 25, which include the Yavin blockade. Since The Essential Chronology dates the Yavin blockade to 0 ABY, the events of Star Wars 18, including this rebel soldier's death, must also occur in that year.
