SPOILER WARNING: Major spoilers ahead for Marvel Comics' Solo: A Star Wars Story #3 from Robbie Thompson, Will Sliney, Federico Blee, Stefani Renee, Andres Mossa, and VC's Clayton Cowles, on sale now.

Following the success of Rogue One, Disney continued to dive into the past with director Ron Howard detailing Han Solo's origin in Solo: A Star Wars Story. The critical and commercial reception was relatively lukewarm, pretty much ending hopes of a sequel, but nonetheless, many fans found it to be a fun ride in a galaxy far, far away.

With Marvel's comic adaptation now giving us insight into scenes that weren't included in the film, Issue #3 sheds light on a major plot hole that left the audiences scratching their heads as the first act of the movie ended -- the return of Qi'ra.

In the movie, Qi'ra (Emilia Clarke) and Han (Alden Ehrenreich) were arrested at an Imperial outpost as they tried to escape Corellia. They ran afoul of Lady Proxima's squad, the gang they worked with, and were looking to leave behind their life of crime. Sadly, when they tried to bribe the Imperial officer (who basically acted as an immigration and customs agent allowing people to enter and exit the planet), Qi'ra was abducted while Han was taken into Imperial custody.

Later on in Solo, when Han escaped with Chewbacca after realizing duty to the Empire wasn't for him, they teamed up with Woody Harrelson's Tobias Beckett, only to end up in the services of Dryden Vos (Paul Bettany). Han took the job for money so he could return to Corellia and rescue Qi'ra, but here, he finds her as Dryden's right-hand man, helping him run the ship as part of a bigger criminal syndicate known as the Crimson Dawn.

Audiences were left wondering exactly how she arrived in this position. Howard never addressed it in the film, so we accepted it was for plot convenience, devised simply to add conflict to Han's life as they still loved each other. The opening pages of the adaptations third issue, though, in just a few panels, clears the air on this matter.

Qi'ra's fate was left obscure, as she was presumably thrown into Imperial jail and escaped, only to link up with Dryden, though some theories posited she was actually kidnapped by Promixa's forces and somehow clawed her away into Dryden's posse. Well, the scenario that played out was actually the latter, but with certain aspects changed up. We now learn Proxima's gangsters kidnapped Qi'ra when she and Han were separated, and in true Star Wars fashion, she was sold off to a slaver known as Sarkin.

However, recognizing her beauty and guile had potential to make her a major asset, Sarkin decided to turn a profit, and in turn, he sold her to Dryden, knowing he'd be able to convert her into a deadly assassin, and so the boss did. He placed her into a rough and tough training regime, changing her nature totally, and which ironically ended with Qi'ra returning to exact revenge on Sarkin, putting a bullet through his head.

This clarifies she wasn't Dryden's lover as many suspected, as he was grooming her to be his deputy all along. Her murder of Sarkin also highlights her sinister nature in the film, although it would make sense why these scenes would be left out in Howard's flick. That's because had we this knowledge of her wicked ways, it would have spoiled the finale where she chose to lead the Crimson Dawn after Dryden's death, as opposed to escaping with Han.

Howard needed to keep the ruse up that she wasn't loving life with Crimson Dawn, but these bonus sequences show that she truly did, ergo why she chose the gang over Han when the time came. Hopefully, the comic will place a spotlight on why she wanted to continue down this path with Darth Maul, but that's a story Marvel is keeping close to its chest.
