After Darth Vader set a trap for Luke Skywalker on Bespin, Han Solo was frozen in carbonite and given to the bounty hunter Boba Fett so he could collect the bounty Jabba the Hutt had placed on Solo, in return for helping set up the trap. When Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca found where Solo was being held, Calrissian infiltrated the palace as a guard, and Skywalker traveled to Tatooine, building himself a new lightsaber while there.
