One of the main reasons why the original Star Wars kicks ass was because of Han Solo. An "emerging hero" type of character, he is glib, cocksure and has a heart of gold. Who could hate him, my friends. Who could.

Anyways, just a quick poll to see how many Generalites like him or not. And to hear some reasons why.

Jaba the hutt.

Greedo could.

Jaba the hutt.

Jabba is toast.

I liked him more in ANH and ESB; he should have remained the neutral, fire-first mercenary type rather than turn in to a "good guy" in RotJ. It would have been a lot cooler for Han to only decide to help the Alliance in exchange for money and then go back to his smuggling ways right after his contract ended, or even better take over Jabba's position on Tatooine.

Greedo could.

Crispa Greedo?

Crispa Greedo?
More like "Crispy", after their encounter at the Cantina.

I hate Han Solo, this rebel scum was one of the reasons why the great Galactic Empire fell.

No he's not. He's alive and well, just had a sex change and wears a hat and dark glasses to disguise himself.

Mmmm. On poll Yoda is not. But propose marriage to Xisla you can. :D

I'd sooner hit myself. Repeatedly. With a ball-peen hammer.

Strong with the Force HotRodia is. Mmmm. But not strong enough.

Mmm. Xisla very attractive is.

Strange your behavior is, young Ruffino.

I can't stand her ever since she had Han Solo frozen in carbonite.

Mmm. Xisla very attractive is.

Oh my. You deserve a full fluffle for that. Unsheathed. :fluffle:

*wonders what girlfriend would think of this, mmm*

Come on guys! Are they so few Han Solo lovers among the Generalites? Looks like I'll be getting married before Han gets fucked. What's this. :rolleyes:

Mmm. Xisla very attractive is.

Strange your behavior is, young Ruffino.
Good, mmm mmm.

What's this. :rolleyes:
That's the much over-used "rolleyes" emote. :rolleyes: That's what this is.

She just saving him for later.. :D

I recommend massage therapy.

Han would agree, I think.

What Would Han Do?

I recommend massage therapy.
I recommend that ball-peen hammer.

What Would Han Do?
Leia, of course.

I recommend that ball-peen hammer.

Hey! :mad:

Hey!

Leia, of course.

:D

So true...

Hey!Hey!
You!

You!

Get offa my Cloud (City).

You!

Can't do that, me hyperdrive is broken. Need a *Dr. Evil's finger-quotation-marks* "Hydrospanner".

Han was alright, but Luke was cooler. Han gave up everything he stood for in order to help the alliance, and while he saved Luke's arse a few times, Luke was still cooler.

Although, as has already been stated, Darth Maul was way cooler than any of them.


May the Force be with you.

Han was alright, but Luke was cooler.
Oh go on, those two made the Hardy Boys look glamorous.

You know why Han Solo rocks?

Because he shot first. Yep. He shot Greedo. Greedo didn't try to shoot him first, and miss. Han Solo shot, anticipating that Greedo definetely would have shot him if given the chance.

Yeah, but did Luke ever get laid? Huh? And how will Darth Maul get any action with the splitting backache of his. :D

He's a drug smuggler, who happens to help terrorists. If he was on Earth, he'd be locked up right now - for good.

That said, I like his character.

The case for the Empire? What case? That there may theoretically, hypothetically been traitors on the planet that the Empire destroyed just because they could, and they were therefore justified? God help us all if that man ever accrues any power whatsoever.

And I've long been on the record that what really made the first trilogy work whereas the second trilogy didn't is Han Solo. His moral transition, not to mention his well-needed comedy, provides much more interest than Luke: Luke, like most paladins, really provides no dramatic tension about whether or not he will or will not turn until the very last minutes of the last episode. By contrast, Han is constantly both highly charismatic, and highly likely to betray his friends if the price is right. . .yet he still sticks in gunfights he could leave, and he still keeps putting his neck out on the line for his friends. As such, he shows the inherent redeeming quality of even the most flawed and mercenary of men. He's an iconic character, and by far the coolest guy in the Star Wars universe.

Hey man Han solo is cool, and the Galactic Empire would have surely fell anyways, it sucked but not because it was evil because Darth Sidius was a terrible sith lord. He never really controlled the outer rim, he didn't commanded the people/armies and he wasnt even able to get the most half assed jedi to turn to the dark side who had a maximum totall of three weeks training. An actual sith lord like Freedon Nadd however did everything, he controlled the people and the soldiers admired him and let us not forget that he was able to force Exar Kun to embrace the powers of the dark side. Exar Kun was no half ass jedi iether, without him there would be no double bladed lightsaber which means for all you new star wars fans Darth Maul would have looked retarted. When Kun became sith lord he took another fallen jedi to become his aprentice, Ulic Qel-Droma and Qel-Droma was able to over come mandalore himself in a one on one battle and use the mandalorians incredible war fighting abilities to fight for the sith. This meant the madalorians were pretty much under sith control and the mandalorians were basically rullers of the outer rim territories.......meaning the sith basically controlled the outer rim. Qel-Droma is probably one of the greatest jedi to have ever lived because after he later before the great sith war was over he jumped ship and saw the light once more though his punishment was severe he had to loose his connection with the force and was put into exile wher he eventually died at peace. His spirit however was awakened by Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vadar) during the clone wars, the spirit often warned anakin of the darkside and its destruction which means ever after his death he could still be at peace with the light; and even though i totally respect old ben kenobi Qel-Droma was much more powerful, and he may have been able to hold his own against yoda but i wouldnt say win.

Relax. That was his first post. He is not a Jedi yet.

*Deep breathing.*

I'll only say one thing, just one little thing:

Han shot first!
And just to be clear, this time it's George Lucas I won't forgive

That's fine by me. :) Why? Are there many "Han Shot Second" supporters on NS General?

I only recently saw the original shooting first version... and it is so much better. When I hadnt seen it I couldnt see what the fuss was about, but now I have seen the light.

Then spread the WORD, my friend.:)

he is glib

Whenever I hear that word, all I can do is think of Tom frickin' Cruise.

I thought he is too busy with his baby to annoy anyone lately. Or maybe he is annoying people by being busy with his baby. Oh well. Parenthoodology.

Did people hear about him wanting to eat the placenta? If I needed to be convinced he was wierd, that was did it.

Dunno, but the point is that that particular scene captured the character of Han Solo in a wonderful manner. When Lucas messed about with (or messed up! :mad:) the original trilogy, he made the Solo-character less interesting by changing the scene. So I'm not happy with Mr. Lucas because I like the original Solo! (and no, the new trilogy didn't do Georgie-boy any favours in my view either, but that's a whole different rant...)

- Uh, everything's under control. Situation normal.
- What happened?
- Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?
- We're sending a squad up.
- Uh, uh, negative. We had a reactor leak here now. Give us a minute to lock it down. Large leak, very dangerous.
- Who is this? What's your operating number?
- Uh...

Boring conversation anyway. Luke, we're gonna have company!

Han is cool. Cooler than that whiner Luke. And he hooked up with Leia at the end. Double cool.

But the dark perverted recesses of my mind(well, they're not THAT recessed. :p ) can't help but wonder about Han and Chewbacca. Was there some furry fetish going on? :eek:

And he hooked up with Leia at the end. Double cool.
Meh. It was really only due to a thorough lack of biologically-accomodating female characters, IMO.

He still had Chewbacca. :p

The reason the new episodes were so crap is that Han Solo wasn't in them. :(

I'd go gay for Han Solo, he is so dreamy.

Your right I would hate to be a jedi always protecting, they waste their time dealing with not only problems with sith but also small problems/arguments between say two farmers, the Sith are the true power.

Sith are slaves to their desires and Jedi have no desires. Much more fun to be a daring rogue who gets desire without it becoming his master.

I never got the whole "You should basically have almost no emotion" thing.

And why not kill in anger? Thats the only sensible way to kill. I would be more disturbed by someone who kills when calm. Why would you kill why calm? And its probably stressful thing to do, so anger is likely to result. Really seems dumb. Killing someone calmly just seems slightly psychotic

methinks Jolee Bindo had the right idea reguarding alignements, to be honest.

to be sith is to be evil is just.. wrong.

to be a jedi is really to repress all that makes you [human]... also wrong..

turn to the half-lit-side! *laughs* gray all the way!

*does a silly dance*

edit: oh yeah, Han is cool. but those poll options *shudders* i'll just stay well away from them.

I totally prefer the sith but I totally agree that jolee had the best view on things.
