One character that remains the most popular character in the Star Wars Universe is none other than the rogue Han Solo. It was Harrison Ford that brought this character to life, and gave us such great lines as: “I’ve got a bad feeling about this” and “Laugh it up, fuzzball!” What makes Han Solo such a cool character?
Here are my top ten reasons:
1. Good/Bad Boy: He’s the guy with the heart of gold, but had a tendency to go against the system. He’s not your tie wearing, drive within the speed limit, type guy. Inspite of him being a smuggler, you could trust him with your life. Lest face it ladies, it’s these type of guys that get our hearts racing.
2. Confident: The guy reeks of over-confidence. For the most part his confidence is correct. He believes in his ship the Millennium Falcon, his buddy Chewbacca, and his own Beliefs. Sure, he was wrong a couple of times, (remember when he thought Leia loved Luke instead of him?), but he seems to pull himself together pretty quickly.
3. Good-Looking: I really don’t have much to say to this. Just look at a picture of him. Blaster at his side, rouge haircut, and that crooked smile. **SIGH** yep I’ve got nothin’ to say.
4. The Underdog: Leia is a princess, Luke is a Jedi, and Han is just your average underdog. He is one of the regular Joes fighting for what’s right. He’s down to earth, and we can relate to him.
5. Funny: Han Solo brings us the comedy. There are certain moments in Star Wars that can get pretty serious, and to be honest, Luke and Leia were never that funny unless they were with Han Solo. My favorite comedic scene was when Han Solo is running head first into a group of blaster carrying Stormtroopers screaming at the top of his lungs. This is my favorite scene from Star Wars hands down.
6. Cocky: This basically is the same as confident, but Han could be cocky at times. He knew Leia was attracted to him, and he pushed her buttons; he knew he could fly well and told Obi Wan so; and he knew that he loved money. At times he needed a good slap, but for some reason his cockiness was attractive.
7. He’s Got Problems: Like most of us, Han Solo has his own personal problems. He’s got some serious debt to pay off. This, if you think about it, makes it understandable that he has a tough time choosing to either pay off the debt or fight in the war. This just proves once again how down to earth Han Solo is.
8. He Drives A Piece of Junk: Just like the vehicle I drove to work in, Han cruses around in a hunk of junk. He’s not embarrassed about it, and doesn’t plan on getting rid of the Millennium Falcon. Don't we all had vehicles like that? ;)
9. His Best Friend is A Wookie: Described as a “Big walking carpet.” Chewbacca can be cuddly, but if you mess with him too much, he’ll rip your arms out of their sockets. Han knows how to choose his friends wisely, and who doesn’t love a Wookie?
10. He Wins the Love of The Princess: With any classic story, the rouge eventually wins the heart of the reluctant princess. A classic way to end a classic story.
