Han Solo

Bombadillo · 06-27-2003, 06:24 PM

I've been hearing that a lot of people hate Han Solo. Apparently he's an aroogant, boastful jerk. Well, he is, but I think he's a likeable character. His personality is what makes him cool. Plus, some of what he says is only for fun, not for show (if you get me).

What do you think of the now-controversial character of Han Solo?

Lizra · 06-27-2003, 06:29 PM

Everybody hates everybody!

I like Han Solo...he wasn't *Boring*, or overly *heavy*, like some of the newer characters. He was funny too. Han Solo was macho/human. They need more Harrison Ford/Han Solo types! The part where he shoots Guido is great!

Gwaimir Windgem · 06-27-2003, 08:13 PM

I like Han; not as much as some other characters, such as Leia (royalty rules!

) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (old bearded wizard dude!

), but he's a great character.

Lizra, I'm not sure...do you mean Greedo, the Rodian (green guy with tube mouth)?

Lizra · 06-27-2003, 09:13 PM

Hmmm , What do I mean?

Actually it's that snork nose bounty hunter thing that tries to kill him "for" Guido/ greedo...whoever

. You know, the first scene in the bar! Unslick and very enjoyable!

gimli7410 · 07-03-2003, 10:44 PM

What? chewie is cool.

It doesn't matter if he is arrogant or not, cus in the end he fullfills most of his boasts and "fantasies" anyway. He gets toe hot chik of the movies after all . . .

Han Solo is my favorite character. He's funny and a lot of the time almost spiteful. Besides in A New Hope it is Leia who is the more annoying of the two.

I'll assume that by 'toe hot chik' you meant 'the hot chic.'
But either way I don't think she was annoying. Han Solo was being an ass, and as a high class princess she didn't like it, but she wasn't half as annoying as Han. If she was, she'd be cooler, but the SW feel would be altered ("I have felt a great disturbance in the force... Leia is cool.") The characters were done just perfectly.

i am guessing by the wink that the royalty is not the only factor

Han Solo was my favorite character, next to Chewie of course

Estel13 · 07-19-2003, 08:57 PM

Han Solo is da man. Sure, he's arrogant and cocky as 'ell, but that's what makes him such a good character.

hectorberlioz · 07-22-2003, 02:52 PM

Han solo is my fav and the most interesting of all the carachters in my opinion. He IS NOT arrogant! he is sarcastic, witty, and the one who gets them out of trouble most of the time even if he's the one who put them in it. Overall he is a hero.

Rosie Gamgee · 07-22-2003, 06:25 PM

Witty?? What?! No way! I like Han, but he's not witty. He's a macho doofus. Han is probably my fave after Leia, however I really don't like the macho types that much.

***anduin*** · 07-22-2003, 11:13 PM

Since when do people hate Han Solo?!! How is it even possible to hate him and still like Star Wars? Perhaps the newer generation of fans just don't get him. Perhaps those that dislike him are the type that prefer Jar Jar. How else would you explain it?!

Sheeana · 07-22-2003, 11:41 PM

I like both Jar Jar AND Han, so there.

gimli7410 · 07-22-2003, 11:54 PM

i used to like jar jar when i first saw the movie buti was like11 then and i recently watched all the star wars and i hate jar jars lines and the way he talks. although the part when he gets the gun stuck on his foot and shoots everyone is pretty funny

it applies to both of you and the whole thread in general which is why I didn't quote anything. A lot of people don't like him because he is arrogant. But that's hardly a flaw when it seems that he makes good on most of his promises in the end. Which is what you seem to suggest, ben. I'm agreein' with ya
