L3 - 37 was Lando Calrissian ’s droid partner who was an expert navigator and co - fender on the Falcon before Lando even heard the name ‘ Han Solo ’ . During the event ofSolo : A Star Wars Story , Elthree ’s cognizance was upload into the Falcon to spare her life history , making her a lasting part of the ship . It was also implied in the cinema thatLando and Elthree had something of a quixotic kinship , which was in reality lately all but confirmed .
