Who is Nien Nunb?

Nien Nunb is a Sullustan pilot from the Star Wars universe best known as Lando Calrissian's co-pilot aboard the Millennium Falcon during the Rebel Alliance's assault on the second Death Star, making him a key figure in the Rebellion's fight against the Empire.

Few characters make a first impression quite like Nien Nunb — debuting in the Bronze Age pages of Marvel Super Special #27 (1983), brought to life by the legendary team of Archie Goodwin, Al Williamson, and Carlos Garzón. This distinctive Star Wars figure has kept remarkable company across nearly four decades of comics, sharing adventures with the likes of Lando Calrissian, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and R2-D2 — about as storied a roster as the galaxy far, far away has to offer. Appearing across Star Wars Adventures, Marvel Super Special, and Star Wars titles published by IDW, Nien Nunb may have a modest catalog footprint, but one of those appearances carries genuine key-issue weight — making this a character that rewards the attentive collector who knows that sometimes the most memorable figures aren't the ones with the most pages.
