FINN AND REY were surprised to see an older man and a Wookiee standing above them. Where were the stormtroopers?

“Where are the others? Where’s the pilot?” the man asked.

“I’m the pilot,” Rey replied, still wearing her breathing apparatus.

The man looked at her unbelievingly. “You?” The Wookiee roared.

“No, it’s true!” Rey answered the Wookiee. “We’re the only ones on board.”

“You can understand that thing?” Finn asked, surprised.

The man snorted. “And ‘that thing’ can understand you, too, so watch it.

“Come on out of there,” he said, lowering his blaster and gesturing to them to climb out of the hole. “Where’d you get this ship?”

“Niima Outpost,” answered Rey.

“Jakku?” The man sounded surprised. “That junkyard?”

“Thank you!” Finn exclaimed, giving Rey a glance. “Junkyard.”

The man turned to the Wookiee. “Told you we should’ve double-checked the Western Reaches. Who had it, Ducain?”

“I stole it,” Rey blurted out. “From Unkar Plutt. He stole it from the Irving Boys, who stole it from Ducain.”

“Who stole it from me!” the man added angrily. “Well, you tell him that Han Solo just stole back the Millennium Falcon…for good.”

Rey was in awe. “This is the Millennium Falcon? You’re Han Solo?”

“I used to be,” Han answered, wandering down the corridors of his old ship.

“Han Solo the Rebellion general?” Finn asked.

Rey looked at Finn as if he were insane. “No, the smuggler!” she said, correcting him.

Finn turned to the Wookiee. Surely that guy would have an answer. “Wasn’t he a war hero?”

But the Wookiee just shrugged.

Rey was still starstruck. “This is the ship that made the Kessel Run in fourteen parsecs!”

“Twelve,” Han boomed. He had walked through the ship and was returning to confront Rey and Finn.

“Hey, some moof-milker put a compressor on the ignition line.”

“Unkar Plutt did,” said Rey. “I thought it was a mistake, too. Puts too much stress on the—”

“Hyperdrive.” Han finished her sentence with her.

He seemed a little impressed by Rey’s knowledge, but that obviously wasn’t going to stop him from kicking them off his ship. “Chewie, throw them in a pod. We’ll drop them at the nearest inhabited planet,” Han ordered as he walked off.

“Wait! No!” Rey cried, following close behind. “We need your help.”

“My help?” Han clearly did not like the taste those words left in his mouth.

“This droid has to get to the Resistance base as soon as possible!” explained Rey.

“He’s carrying a map to Luke Skywalker,” Finn chimed in, close at their heels.

Han froze in his tracks. He turned, his face somber. Finn hadn’t meant to cause the old man pain, but Han needed to know how important this was.

“You are the Han Solo that fought with the Rebellion,” said Finn. “You knew him.”

Han nodded ever so slightly. “Yeah, I knew him. I knew Luke.”

They were all silent for a moment, but the silence was broken by a distant metallic ka-chunk outside the Millennium Falcon.

Han looked exasperated. “Don’t tell me a rathtar’s gotten loose,” he said, rushing off the Falcon into what Finn now recognized as an enormous commercial freighter. Chewie, Finn, Rey, and BB-8 followed at his heels

“Wait, what? Did you just say ‘rathtars’?” Finn exclaimed.
