Jolli Jolli was the man - hating space pirate who was second - in - command to Crimson Jack as part of his notorious gang of pirates . She was known for her extremely short temper . Han Solo ironically nicknamed her " Miss Sunshine . " Biography . Early life . Jolli grew up in a criminal environment as her father was a fugitive from the Galactic Empire . While Jolli was still a child , her father abandoned her and her mother on a frontier world because he felt that they were of no use to him and would only slow him down as he ran from the Empire . It was not long after that her mother was killed when an aerial torpedo hit their home , but Jolli survived the explosion . Her experience with her father made her bitter towards all men , and she constantly felt as though she had to prove herself better than any man at anything that she did . Crimson Jack ' s gang . Her outlaw life led her to become a member of Crimson Jack ' s pirate gang , where she became second to Crimson Jack himself . When the gang captured the " Millennium Falcon " and her crew Han Solo and Chewbacca in 0 BBY , Jolli took an instant dislike towards Solo and was eager to blast him on the spot . Jack reined her in and quickly took Solo ' s recently acquired treasure which he received from the Rebel Alliance for rescuing Princess Leia . To Jolli ' s chagrin , Jack decided to let the smugglers go free , feeling that they might encounter Solo again with more treasure to be had . A short time later , the gang captured Princess Leia while on her way to the Drexel system to investigate what had happened to Luke Skywalker . And , coincidently , they also captured Han Solo again as he was leaving Aduba - 3 , but this time there was no treasure in his ship ' s hold . The prisoners devised a plan to trick the pirates into taking them all to Drexel by leading them to believe that the Rebellion ' s treasury was located there . Jolli , still distrustful of Solo , was further confused when he and Leia were flirting with each other while on board the pirate cruiser . She even turned on her crewmates when some of them attempted to flirt with her ; she was so angry that she drew her blaster and opened fire on them , but was soon calmed by Jack . The gang ' s prisoners escaped in the confusion caused by the jamming signal emanating from Governor Quarg ' s city - ship on the planet . The signal , while not powerful enough to drag the large cruiser to the planet ' s surface , forced the cruiser to stay in orbit . But the signal soon cut out as the mechanism was destroyed as a result of the war being waged on the planet . With the cruiser now operational , Jack sent a group of ships , including a Y - wing piloted by Jolli , to destroy the " Millennium Falcon " and particularly Han Solo . Jolli was only too happy to oblige , and in the battle she critically damaged Solo ' s ship , but her craft was also crippled in the process . Jolli requested assistance from Jack ' s cruiser , but Jack was focused on Solo and dismissed her pleas as unimportant . She was so enraged by this that she opened fire on her crewmates , and rammed her ship into the cruiser ' s bridge , killing all on board as well as herself . This allowed Solo to finish off Jack and escape without trouble . Behind the scenes . Jolli was created by Roy Thomas & Howard Chaykin ; However , most of her storyline development was done by Archie Goodwin & Carmine Infantino .
