Han Solo
|
The "Scruff Looking" smuggler, Han Solo is one of the coolest guys in the Star Wars galaxy. Touring the universe
taking on the hardest challenges, always looking for danger, accompanied by his great friend Chewbacca, Han has been
to many planets, and has both enemies and friends at almost every port. His ship, the Millennium Falcon is almost an
extension of himself (and of course his co-pilot Chewbacca), scruffy, but a lot more than meets the eye.

As a child, Han lived on his home planet, Corellia, and grew up earning his way by himself. Whatever skills were necessary,
he would learn, and excel at. Though not a jedi, his reflexes are certainly force attuned, and his piloting skills amongst
the best in the galaxy, along with the likes of Baron Soontir Fel and Boshek.
During a short period of time as a pilot in the Imperial Navy, Han was confronted by leadership which he thought to be
immoral. When he saw the Wookiee slaves being brought aboard the ship he was serving on, he took it upon himself to rescue
them, and left the navy for good. After a while he got used to his new companion Chewbacca who had vowed a life debt to him,
and the two became smugglers, working for dangerous people across the galaxy, including Jabba the Hutt.
When the Millenium Falcon was boarded by an Imperial inspection team, Han was forced to dump an expensive shipment belonging
to Jabba, and since then had been followed by numerous Bounty Hunters being paid by the powerful Hutt to bring him in. In
the end it was the famous bounty hunter Boba Fett who caught up with Han at Cloud City. Han was rescued shortly afterwards
by Luke Skywalker and friends, and since then Solo has served as a member of the Rebel Alliance, and then the New Republic.
Several years after meeting Leia, the two were married, and after that had three children, Jacen, Jaina (twins) and Anakin,
all powerful jedi knights who begin their own adventures years later. Han is a good father, and a loyal member of the
Republic but struggles to cope with the grief of losing Chewbacca. It takes him over a year to recover from the loss, and he
is only just in time to save his family, but pulls himself back together just in time, and rejoins the fight against the
Yuuzhan Vong.
