The Millennium Falcon: The Noir Detective Story
In this noir detective movie: The Millennium Falcon, which is a loose remake of the classic John Huston movie: The Maltese Falcon, Han Solo (with Chewbacca as his secretary) is a detective hired by a mysterious woman (Princess Leia) to protect her when the fat man Mr. Gutman (Jabba the Hut) shows up with his gunsel (Boba Fett) and kills her protector (Obi Wan Kenobi). Well, they're all looking for this prize, the Millennium Falcon, and they all double cross each other until the end, which sees Lando Calrissian secretly deliver the ship in a Star Cruiser, and before getting killed, he drops the keys off at Han Solo's office. Then, back at Han's apartment, Chewbacca, in the guise of dropping off the keys, rescues Han from being held captive by the group and ties everyone up, after which storm troopers with Darth Vader show up to arrest everyone. But Han Solo and Chewbacca manage to escape on the Millennium Falcon just in the nick of time, and that's how they ended up in the Star Wars movies (plus, this is why Jabba the Hut is so mad at Han Solo: Han stole the ship Jabba wanted and left him in the lurch!).
