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.  :-(
