However, now that the legendary hunter has lost Han with the entire galaxy scrambling to secure the valuable smuggler, Lando has joined Leia, Chewbacca, and Luke Skywalker in their rescue attempt to try and save their friend. In his mind, he was only sticking around as long their interests were aligned, combined with his guilt about betraying Han, getting him frozen in carbonite to be taken by the bounty hunter Boba Fett.
In previous issues of Marvel’s Star Wars, Lando had been keeping his ultimate loyalties to himself despite being with the Rebels after the Empire took over Cloud City. That being said, Lando has been helping the Rebels in their efforts to save Han Solo who’s still encased in carbonite during the War of the Bounty Hunters event, and it’s here that Leia helps Lando realize what it means to be a true Rebel. However, that doesn’t mean he considered himself to be a member of the Rebel Alliance. Taking place after the events of Empire Strikes Back, Lando has been working alongside Princess Leia, Luke, and the rest of the Rebellion as they’ve been evading the Empire. In the latest issue of Marvel Comics’ Star Wars, it’s revealed why Lando Calrissian really joined the Rebels. Warning! Spoilers ahead for Star Wars #17
