Han Solo
Han Solo
Alternate Names: Solo, Han
Actor: Harrison Ford
Description:
Han Solo is a smuggler/scoundrel-turned Rebel hero after rescuing
Princess Leia from the Death Star and helping Luke Skywalker destroy
the gigantic space station. He continues to travel the galaxy
with his lifelong companion and co-pilot Chewbacca, whose family
he visits every Life Day. He and Chewie located a much-sought-after
talisman for the Rebels, but Han contracted a deadly sleeping
virus from it as a result of the Empire's handiwork. Only Chewbacca's
quick treatment and eventual location of the antidote saved his
life.
Details:
In the fourth draft script, Han Solo does not make an appearance
at the end of the Holiday Special to help Chewbacca save his family
from the Empire. Instead, he drops Chewbacca off and it is up
to Chewie to defeat the stormtrooper standing guard. The filming
was changed at the last minute to include Han in the scene.
Quote: "Why do I always think that taking you home for Life
Day is gonna be easy?"
