   There are various stories (books and comic books) that have some of   
   Han's adventures before and between the movies and the Trilogies. There   
   were also rumours of a very young Han Solo as a child appearing briefly   
   in the one of the Prequel Trilogy movies ... thankfully that didn't   
   happen - it's a big universe, there's absolutely no need for *everyone*   
   to keep appearing in every movie / story.   
      
   It's long been established that Han was an Imperial Officer and   
   deserted the Empire when he saved Chewbacca's life, which is when they   
   become companions (Chewie's "life debt" to Han).   
      
   The problem now is that Disney, being the new owners and as usual   
   wanting to do things their own way, have already thrown out all the old   
   stories as no longer "canon" and can make up any rubbish they want to   
   as the new "official" background.  :-(
