Delan Vook Delan Vook was a male Pantoran pilot and racer in the Dragon Void Run . Biography . Vook was present at the party that marked the beginning of the Dragon Void Run . When he found out Han Solo was a smuggler , he called him a fool and explained the racer s in the Dragon Void Run had the best tech and teams dedicated to maintaining each system on their starship . He questioned if Solo and the " Millennium Falcon " could be competitive . He was rebuked by Loo Re Anno , who said that Solo ' s heart and loyalty of his crew might be enough to win the race . Vook was present at the first obstacle in the Dragon Void Run , where the racers were attacked by mine s . Vook used the " Falcon " as a shield , and fired at the attacking probes , hitting Solo ' s starship . Incensed , Solo retaliated by clipping Vook ' s ship . Vook still managed to finish the stage and make it to the first refueling point . Solo confronted Vook about shooting at his ship , and Anno told Solo he could file a complaint against Vook for breaking the rules which would probably lead to Vook being disqualified . Solo declined to do so , but warned Vook not to come near the " Falcon " . Anno told Vook that he should learn from Solo that the race is more important than revenge . Later , Vook was arrested by Imperial forces . He complained to the Stormtrooper s escorting them and was struck by one . Solo leapt to his defense but was also hit . The attack was stopped by Tomine . When the organizers of the race convinced the Imperials to allow the race to continue , Vook ran back to his ship to start the next stage of the race . He reached the start of the second part of the race , which required the racers to make it through a shifting debris field at a constant rate of speed . At the end of the stage , Solo clipped some debris and was in danger of slowing down and being disqualified until Vook attached a grappling hook to the " Falcon " , pulling it across the finish line . Solo thanked Vook and Vook declared they were even for Solo not disqualifying him earlier in the race . Vook landed on the second planet in the race and waited there until the signal to continue was given . Upon jumping to the next stage of the race , he and the other racers were confronted by a large Imperial armada . Anno broadcast a message to him and the other racers that they should ignore the Imperials and continue the race . Powering up his ship , Vook headed toward the start of the stage , along with the other participants . The Imperials ordered them to stop , and sent TIE fighers after them . Solo inquired if any of the other racers had weapons , to which Vook stated that firing on Imperials would be a death sentence . When Chewbacca destroyed a pursuing TIE fighter , Vook panicked and stated he would surrender , assured that his sponsors would bail him out of any trouble . Before he could quit , Anno opened a rift between time and space , allowing an interdimensional creature to appear behind the racers . This caused the pursuing TIE fighters to veer off or be destroyed , allowing the racers to enter the Void . Vook raced for the gate that was the finish line for the race . However , he was passed by the " Millennium Falcon " . After Solo let Anno win the race , Vook was able to pass through the gate when Anno re - opened after rejoining her people . He ended up back at the space station that marked the beginning of the race with the other racers .
