It's Valentine's Day, so what better way to celebrate than with a wedding? On August 16th, Han Solo and Leia Organa are walking down the aisle in a new novel written by Beth Revis titled Star Wars: The Princess and the Scoundrel.



The novel picks up on Endor just after the events of Return of the Jedi. Han proposes, and the two are wed at the site of the victory celebration seen in the film. But the war with the Empire is not over, and the newlyweds have to outmaneuver the Imperial remnant that wants to crash the party.

Revis hinted that the Ewoks might cause some trouble when the wedding actually comes around, but she did reveal her favorite part of the wedding was the ring ceremony.
