Ending on the mother of all cliffhangers, Solo: A Star Wars Story showed Qi'ra having a chat with none other than the secret leader of Crimson Dawn, Maul, with the latter ordering her to come to him on Dathomir.

But with that particular spin-off never being followed up on on-screen, viewers were left to wonder what on earth happened to Han Solo's former love in the years that followed the events of that movie.

Thankfully, Qi'ra's story was actually continued on the page about five years later, with a number of comics - Crimson Reign, War of the Bounty Hunters, and Hidden Empire - revealing she was ultimately trained how to fight Sith by Maul, eventually became Crimson Dawn's new leader, and attempted to take down both the Emperor and Darth Vader in the end.

Not only that, but Lady Qi'ra also surprisingly intercepted a frozen-in-carbonite Solo after the events of The Empire Strikes Back before eventually trying to auction him off.

She obviously wasn't quite able to stop the Sith duo, and Qi'ra eventually went into hiding, though it was at least revealed that she was still alive at the time of the Empire's fall.

So, while Qi'ra's on-screen story was brought to an abrupt end thanks to Solo flopping in theatres, her journey in the comics half a decade later showed that she was still very much interacting with many a Star Wars icon in the time post-Solo and having quite an effect on the galaxy far, far away.
