At the start of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker and his allies enacted their plot to rescue Han Solo, who had been captured and frozen in carbonite by bounty hunter Boba Fett in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. During their battle, Fett was knocked into the Sarlacc Pit and his canon fate was left uncertain until he returned in Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season 2.
