In an extended rant , Drebble vows revenge on Lando Calrissian for cheating him years earlier . Meanwhile , in Bright Tree Village , Lando , Han Solo , and Chewbacca are in a card game with the local Ewoks , trying to teach them how to gamble . When Lando wins , Chewbacca becomes angry , throwing down his cards , believing Lando to have cheated . Han explains to Lando that Chewbacca is simply frustrated that he hasn ' t been able to see his family back on his homeworld for a long time . Wedge Antilles comes to the three and tells them that a meeting with Mon Mothma and Gial Ackbar is about to begin . The rebels arrive as the two Rebel leaders begin to address the Rebels on the establishment of a new government . Luke and Leia are out on missions to planets to ask their leaders to come to Endor to have a voice in the new government , but more are needed to do the same . At the end of the meeting , Ackbar mentions the mysterious " Captain Drebble " and his exploits on Gamandar and Arcan IV . Lando , who is the real " Captain Drebble " , is shocked to hear that the Rebel leaders have decided to declare Drebble a hero and give him a commendation for his actions . At the end of the meeting , Han volunteers himself and Chewbacca for a mission to Keyorin , a planet near Kashyyyk . Lando joins his friends in the " Cobra " so that the group will have two ships , and Chewbacca can have an extended stay with his family on Kashyyyk if he wishes . After arriving on Keyorin , the " Hunter ' s World , " the group meets with the Boss , the planetary leader . The Boss misinterprets the Rebel ' s intentions and believes they are there to try and secure protection money . However , Han convinces him otherwise , claiming that a place in the new government is something he will not want to pass up . The Boss is convinced , and he tells Solo that he ' ll think about the offer , clearly interested in having his say in the new government . Done with their diplomatic mission , Lando , Han , and Chewie make their way to a local tavern . After ordering drinks , the Rebels see Bossk enter and Lando and Chewie attempt to hide . Han is confused by his friends ' actions , and the two explain that during Solo ' s imprisonment in carbonite , they sent several gangs and hunters after Solo in their effort to rescue him . Attempting to leave quietly after paying the bill , Lando sees Drebble , and his associates pull weapons . The Rebels run out of the bar , but a member of Lemo and Sanda ' s gang recognizes Solo , and he and another gang member join the chase . In the ensuing scramble , the Rebels are stunned right outside the " Falcon " . Lemo and Sanda ' s gang demand that Drebble turn over Han and Chewbacca to them . Drebble only has need for Lando , and he allows Solo and Chewbacca to be taken away . Lemo hangs Han and Chewie from energy - binder s to learn where the Dancing Goddess is , a statue that the gang has been pursuing . When Lemo mentions " Captain Drebble , " who had deceived them on Arcan IV , Han tells Lemo that Drebble was the one has the statue and that he had betrayed them both . Back on the " Millennium Falcon " , Lando awakens to find his captors about to depart for Drebble ' s homeworld , but when Drebble starts to mess with the controls on the ship , a hologram of Mon Mothma shows up on the video screen , reminding all personnel about " Captain Drebble " and the need to reward him . Honored at the distinction , Drebble begins to take to his new status as a hero when Lemos ' s gang arrives to capture Lando who they still believe to be " Drebble . " At the same time , Chewbacca fakes his own death to fool the gang member who is still guarding them . The ruse tricks the guard , and they are able to escape putting the gang member in energy - binders . Free from their imprisonment , Han and Chewie leave to rescue Lando . As Drebble ' s group and Lemo and Sanda ' s gang face off at the " Millennium Falcon " , Lando devises a plan to help him escape the situation .
