This film was released as a spinoff film focusing on Han Solo, Chewbacca, and the Millennium Falcon, popular characters from the old Star Wars trilogy, now known as Episodes 4 through 6.

It depicted an encounter with an unknown life form and the fear and survival accompanying it. The entire film is classically structured to escape from a terrifying experience on a spaceship. Of course, Xenomorphs and face-huggers appeared, and the tense scenes between such creatures and the ship's crew allowed the audience to experience the essence of fear.
