HAN SOLO: DOES HE GET ENOUGH CREDIT?
I've heard a lot of complaints about the Star Wars
characters, but one of the biggest ones is, HAN SOLO DOESN'T GET
ENOUGH CREDIT! If it wasn't for Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Obi-wan
"Ben" Kenobi, C-3PO, and R2-D2 wouldn't have gotten to
the Death Star. If they found another pilot to bring them to
Alderaan, Darth Vader would have killed him during the Battle of
Yavin. If, somehow, he survived that, Han saved Luke's life in
The Empire Strikes Back, when Luke would have froze to death if
Han didn't come and cut open the taun taun, using the insides to
keep the young Jedi warm. And how does Solo get repayed? He gets
put in carbonite! I do understand that Luke did help save Han,
with the help of Lando Calrissian, Princess Leia Organa, and
Chewbacca in Jabba's Palace, but, I would like it if they gave
Han more credit.
In the Star Wars Technical Journal, under "History of
the New Republic," the author wrote that Jedi Knight Luke
Skywalker was the hero of the Rebel Alliance. Didn't say anything
about Han Solo. Also, in that book, they only talk about Solo
when they tell the reader about Han's ship, the Millennium
Falcon.
I'm sure that some of you disagree with this, but,
hopefully, some of you do agree with this. I hope in the upcoming
books, movies, novels, ect, they talk more about Han Solo and
they give him more credit.
