Whilst the Star Wars universe revolves around the battle between the light and dark forces of the Jedi and Sith, Han Solo and Chewbacca began their journey in the limbo between the two. Smugglers driven by the need to survive in a harsh and dangerous galaxy, the motley crew of the Millennium Falcon eventually sided with the Rebel Alliance and,in the process, became two of sci-fi cinemas greatest anti-heroes.

Arguably the most beloved duo in the whole of the Star Wars universe, Han Solo and Chewbacca were largely inseparable on screen from the moment they debuted in 1977. Their friendship and chemistry have made this pairing legendary, cementing them as two of the most popular characters in the entire Skywalker Saga.
