I'd also recommend 'Scoundrels'. It has a really engaging plot that doesn't require a ton of prior knowledge of the 'Star Wars' expanded universe. The story of Han and Chewbacca in this heist is exciting and will draw you in right away.
Sure. 'Han Solo at Stars' End' is a good start. It's easy to follow and gives a great sense of Han's character. You'll quickly understand his nature as a daring adventurer.
Some of the great ones are 'The Han Solo Trilogy' by A.C. Crispin. It delves deep into Han's backstory, his early adventures, and how he met Chewbacca. It gives a lot of insights into their relationship and how they became the iconic duo we know from the movies.
If you're new to Star Wars novels, 'Bloodline' is a great pick. It gives you a lot of political context in the Star Wars galaxy which is important to understand the overall story. 'Thrawn' is also a good one. The character of Thrawn is so unique and the story is full of strategy and intrigue. And 'Aftermath' is a series that can be good for newbies as it shows the aftermath of the events of 'Return of the Jedi' and how the galaxy is changing.
Sure. 'Star Wars: A New Hope - The Special Edition' is a great start. It's based on the classic movie and is a good way to get into the Star Wars graphic novel world. The art is easy to follow and it stays true to the story.

The story is full of twists and turns, and it's really interesting to see Han interact with other characters who are also not exactly on the straight and narrow. It gives a good insight into the criminal underworld of the Star Wars universe.
It's most likely a prequel. Since it focuses on Chewbacca, it might tell the story of his life before his adventures with Han Solo became well - known, so it would be set earlier in the Star Wars timeline.
