About this listen

 Don’t miss the exclusive content in this thrilling adaptation of Solo: A Star Wars Story, with scenes from alternate versions of the script including Han Solo’s time in the Imperial Navy, Qi’ra’s past, the beginnings of the rebellion, and more!

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.

I liked it, having not seen the movie. The only downside is the audio of the recording. Parts were really quiet and than others were very loud when volume turned up to hear quiet parts.

All in all a pretty good listen.

The story is great. Audio books must be read by good narrators. Marc Thompson is one of the best for Star Wars, hands down.

This audiobook is an adaption of the movie and it adds much needed detail, fleshing out the work more completely. Whether you liked the movie or didn't, this book will make it better. The opportunity to get inside of characters' heads while the events are happening deepens the significance of many key moments throughout the story.

My only problem with this audiobook is that it is largely the same as the movie (obviously). The added detail really enriches the original story but probably isn't the best bang for your buck if you've already seen the film. No faults with the story or performance however.

Marc Thompson performs excellently as ever in this audiobook. He does a great job with all the different characters and the production value is great with good background noises and music.

Well acted, the story was entertaining and help flesh out the movie. A few added scenes were enjoyable and a treat for Star Wars fans.

Enjoyable to the end.
