==Development==
During the development of Star Wars: The Han Solo Trilogy, author A. C. Crispin was requested and instructed by Lucasfilm to not cover Han Solo's time at the Imperial Academy or his first encounter with Chewbacca. Despite this, she was allowed to write a brief explanation of how Han had saved Chewie's life when he was enslaved by the Empire, and had gotten cashiered for his pains with a life debt. Crispin was also faced with the challenge of trying to explain how Han discovered his cousin, Thracken Sal Solo, without ever knowing anything about his parents, even their names.
The three books were originally released individually. They were later rereleased together as a Science Fiction Book Club edition by the title The Han Solo Trilogy and as an audiobook by the title The Han Solo Omnibus. The Sci-Fi Book Club edition is missing the epilogue of The Hutt Gambit. 
A Barnes & Noble Collectible Edition leather-bound hardcover was released on October 20, 2017.
