Last Shot

by Daniel José Older

First published 2018

Han Solo and Lando Calrissian navigate adventures across decades of galactic history. Before the events readers know from Solo, Lando partners with his droid companion L3-37 on smuggling runs through dangerous space. Later, between Solo and A New Hope, Han teams up with Chewbacca and encounters Sana Starros, a woman who will complicate his life in unexpected ways. Years after the Empire's defeat at Endor, an older Han faces new challenges alongside Princess Leia and their young son Ben Solo, while Lando returns to help his old friend. The three time periods reveal how these legendary characters evolved from reckless young smugglers into reluctant heroes, then into leaders bearing the weight of galactic peace. Older weaves together their separate journeys to show how friendship endures across war, loss, and the passage of time in a galaxy far, far away.
