Han Solo's Rescue Mission

Han Solo's Rescue Mission is a young children's book telling a story about Han Solo rescuing a group of Ithorians. It was written by John Whitman and illustrated by Kilian Plunkett and published in March 1998.
As a Cruise Along Book, the book came packaged with a Micro Machines X-Ray Fleet miniature Millennium Falcon.
==Plot summary==
The smuggler Han Solo volunteered for a daring mission as the Galactic Empire was preparing to attack the plant Ithor. A group of Ithorians were being transported by Han and Chewbacca to Bimmisaari. After rescuing the Ithorians, the Imperial forces arrive and several TIE fighters attack the Millennium Falcon. Solo was able to outmaneuver them, but the laser bolts damaged the ship's computer and they flew into an asteroid belt. They escaped, but nearly got eaten by three space slugs, although Solo was able to fly his ship past them. When they finally arrived at Bimmisaari, the landing gear jammed. Solo again maneuvered his ship, missing a large freighter, so it was able to hit the landing pad, stopping its descent.
==Continuity==
Continuity-wise, the events depicted in the novel Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine involving the Ithorian character Tendau Nandon may help to reconcile events later depicted in this particular Fun Works storybook.
