There they bump into Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca, stood beside the Kessel Run Millennium Falcon which serves to further aid their escape.

The foursome doesn’t get far before they are spotted by two more TIEs. With the underpowered laser turrets giving the Empire’s finest no cause for concern Han and Chewie join forces to build a more powerful hull-mounted cannon and quickly make short work of their pursuers, allowing them to escape to future adventures.

With just three LEGO Solo sets highlighted in the clip, more videos – with Imperial Patrol Battlepack and Moloch’s Landspeeder – are sure to follow.
