Mission
Rescue of Han Solo
Canon Legends version → Linked from 256 articles
The Rescue of Han Solo, also known as the Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon, the Battle of Carkoon, the Sail barge disaster, or simply the Fall of Jabba, was a mission carried out during the Imperial Era in the year 4 ABY by members of the Alliance to Restore the Republic to rescue Han Solo, who was frozen in carbonite, from Jabba the Hutt. Solo's friends in the Rebel Alliance set out to find and rescue the former smuggler from Jabba's Palace on Tatooine. Solo was freed by his friends, but the crime lord ordered that they be executed. This led to a battle at the Great Pit of Carkoon between the small group of Rebels and Jabba's forces. One of the rebels, Princess Leia Organa, killed Jabba, while Luke Skywalker and the others fought off Jabba's guards. With Jabba dead, the rebels escaped and returned to the Rebel fleet.
