Heist on Gargon

The Corellian smuggler Han Solo and his Wookiee co-pilot Chewbacca mounted a heist to steal valuable spice from the spice vaults of the planet Gargon some time prior to joining the Rebel Alliance in their struggle against the Galactic Empire. Although those vaults were owned by a notorious gangster and heavily guarded, Solo and Chewbacca managed to break in, and they stole a hoard of spice stored there. As a result of their successful theft, the smugglers received double payment. Years later, Solo and Chewbacca were sent on a mission to the Forest Moon of Endor as members of the Rebel Alliance. They were part of a strike team tasked with breaking into an Imperial bunker, which Solo likened to his past heist on Gargon.
