Han Solo is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas . The character first appeared in the 1977 film Star Wars portrayed by Harrison Ford , who reprised his role in The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). Ford returned to the role for The Force Awakens (2015), as well as a brief cameo in The Rise of Skywalker (2019). In the spin-off film Solo (2018), a younger version of the character is portrayed by Alden Ehrenreich .

First appearing in the original trilogy , Han Solo and his first mate Chewbacca are smugglers who are hired by Ben Kenobi and Luke Skywalker to transport them to Alderaan so they can deliver the stolen plans for the Death Star . Although initially unwilling to join the Rebel Alliance in their fight against the Galactic Empire , he eventually does so and in the process falls in love with Princess Leia , whom he eventually marries, becoming Luke's brother in-law. In the sequel trilogy set decades later, Solo joins forces with scavenger Rey and former stormtrooper Finn to help them and the Resistance in their fight against the First Order , whose forces are led by Supreme Leader Snoke and Kylo Ren , the latter of whom is his and Leia's son, Ben Solo who fell to the dark side of the Force, which caused him and Leia to separate. Han is killed by his son but eventually returns as a Force vision to his son and helps redeem him back to the light side of the Force.

The American Film Institute has named Solo as the 14th best film hero . [1] Mythologist Joseph Campbell has described the character, "He thinks he's an egoist ; but he really isn't. ... there's something else pushing [him]." In 1997, Lucas described Han as "a cynical loner who realizes the importance of being part of a group and helping for the common good".

Ever since his debut, Han Solo has remained one of the most famous characters from the Star Wars series. In addition to the character being hailed as one of cinema's greatest heroes, Harrison Ford's performances in the franchise have received significant acclaim from critics and fans. Alden Ehrenreich's performance in Solo was also well received. Ford received two nominations for the Saturn Award for Best Actor , winning for his performance in The Force Awakens .

In the earliest version of the initial draft for Star Wars , Solo was an alien of the 'Ureallian' race with green skin, no nose and enormous gills, also being a member of the Jedi Bendu and being acquainted with General Skywalker. [2] The following draft saw Solo as a bearded, flamboyant pirate, franchise creator George Lucas settling on making him a human to better develop the relationship between the three central characters ( Luke , Leia and Han) and Chewbacca instead being used for the part of the alien sidekick . [3] By the time of the third draft, Solo had developed into the "tough James Dean style starpilot" that would appear in the finished film. [4] Lucas also used Humphrey Bogart as a point of reference in his development notes. [3] Mythologist Joseph Campbell said of Han, "He thinks he's an egoist ; but he really isn't. ... there's something else pushing [him]." [5] In 1997, Lucas described him as "a cynical loner who realizes the importance of being part of a group and helping for the common good". [6] In 2004, Lucas explained that Han is the selfish sidekick of protagonist Luke, who is selfless. [3]

Harrison Ford was not immediately cast for the role of Han Solo, as Lucas had already used him in the film American Graffiti and wanted somebody new for the role. He hired Ford to rehearse lines with other actors and he was so impressed by the actor's performance that he eventually gave him the role. Other actors that were considered for the role include Al Pacino , Robert De Niro , James Caan , Christopher Walken , Jack Nicholson , Sylvester Stallone , Kurt Russell , Bill Murray , Steve Martin , Robert Englund , Nick Nolte , Burt Reynolds , Chevy Chase , and Perry King (who later played Han Solo in the radio plays ). [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

Solo appeared in early drafts of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith . The character would have been revealed as having been raised by Chewbacca on Kashyyyk, and would help Yoda locate General Grievous . [12] Some concept art of a 10-year-old Han Solo was made, but Lucas decided to omit the character's appearance from the film before any actor was cast or considered for the role. [13]

Ford, believing his character should die, was reluctant to sign onto the sequels of Star Wars . [14] Han Solo's death in The Force Awakens came about when writer/director J. J. Abrams felt the character was not evolving or contributing to the story's development; he believed that Kylo Ren killing his own father would give him a chance to develop into a worthy successor for Darth Vader. [15] Solo's appearance in the film was influenced by that of Rooster Cogburn ( Jeff Bridges ) in True Grit (2010) during early concept development. [16]

Han Solo is first introduced in Star Wars (1977), [a] when he and his co-pilot Chewbacca ( Peter Mayhew ) accept a charter request to transport Luke Skywalker , Obi-Wan Kenobi , C-3PO , and R2-D2 from Tatooine to Alderaan on their ship, the Millennium Falcon . Han owes gangster Jabba the Hutt a great deal of money and has a high price on his head. Bounty hunter Greedo ( Paul Blake ) tries to deliver Solo to Jabba, dead or alive, but after a failed attempt to extort the money as a bribe for letting him go, Han shoots and kills Greedo . Han then prepares to leave Tatooine.

He and his passengers are attacked by Imperial stormtroopers , but escape by accelerating to light speed. When they arrive at Alderaan, however, they discover that the planet has been destroyed by the Empire. The Falcon is then captured and held within the Death Star , a moon-sized battle station constructed by the Empire. Han and company hide from detection inside the Falcon ' s smuggling bays, and infiltrate the station disguised as stormtroopers. They discover that Princess Leia Organa ( Carrie Fisher ) is a prisoner on board, and Luke convinces Han to help rescue her by promising him a huge reward. They rescue Leia and escape, though Obi-Wan is killed by Sith Lord Darth Vader (portrayed by David Prowse , voiced by James Earl Jones ).

After delivering Luke, Leia, C-3PO, and R2-D2 to the Rebel Alliance, Han and Chewbacca receive a payment for their services and prepare to leave. Luke asks Han to stay and help the Rebels attack the Death Star, but he refuses, not wanting to get involved. Han has a change of heart and returns to save Luke's life during the film's climactic battle scene , ultimately enabling Luke to destroy the Death Star. In the film's final scene, Leia presents Han with a medal of honor alongside Luke and Chewbacca.

Three years later, Han is still with the Rebel Alliance, and serving on the Rebels' base on the frozen planet of Hoth . While out on patrol with Luke, they witness a meteor strike the surface. Han returns to base while Luke decides to investigate. Han informs Leia that he must leave in order to clear his debt with Jabba the Hutt. Before he can depart, it is discovered that Luke has not returned from his investigation. Han rides out alone into the frozen Hoth wastelands, soon finding Luke near death from exposure. Using his friend's lightsaber , Han cuts open his tauntaun , providing Luke warmth while he builds a shelter until they can be rescued the next morning.

Later, Han and Chewbacca go to check on another meteor strike. They discover that the 'meteor' is actually an Imperial Probe Droid. The two succeed in destroying the probe, but not before the Empire is alerted to the location of the Rebel base. When the Empire attacks, Han, Chewbacca, Leia, and C-3PO narrowly escape on board the Millennium Falcon . Han evades a squad of Imperial TIE fighters by flying through an asteroid field, and unwittingly flies into the mouth of a giant worm. Han and Leia fall in love during the long journey. They manage to hide from the Imperial fleet long enough to escape, but not entirely unnoticed; bounty hunter Boba Fett ( Jeremy Bulloch ), working for Vader, picks up their trail and follows them.

Han and company eventually end up at the Bespin system's Cloud City seeking repairs and shelter from his old friend Lando Calrissian ( Billy Dee Williams ), the city's administrator. However, Fett had arrived first and alerted the Empire. Lando betrays Han to the Empire, and Vader has Han tortured as part of his plan to lure Luke to Bespin. Vader wishes to capture Luke by freezing him in carbonite, and subjects Han to the freezing process first to test its lethality. Han survives, and Fett leaves for Tatooine with his frozen body in tow to collect the bounty from Jabba.

A year later, Han, still imprisoned in carbonite, is Jabba's favorite decoration at his palace on Tatooine . Luke attempts a rescue operation aided by Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, and a repentant Lando, but they are caught. Jabba sentences Han, Luke and Chewbacca to die in the sarlacc pit. Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca overpower their captors and Leia kills Jabba, enabling their escape.

Returning to the Rebel fleet, they discover that the Empire is building the second Death Star, which orbits the forest moon of Endor . Following his return, Han is made a general in the Rebel Alliance, along with Leia. Reuniting with Luke after his return from Dagobah , Han leads a Rebel strike team to Endor to take down the force field surrounding the battle station, which is still under construction. The Empire captures them, but with help from the native Ewoks , Han and his team destroy the Death Star's shield generator, allowing Lando and his strike team to destroy the Death Star. Han then reunites with Leia and Luke on Endor to celebrate the defeat of the Empire.

In The Force Awakens , set approximately 30 years after Return of the Jedi , Han has returned to his old life as a smuggler. Before the events of the film, he and Chewbacca had lost the Millennium Falcon to thieves, but they reclaim the ship after it takes off from the planet Jakku , piloted by the scavenger Rey ( Daisy Ridley ) and the renegade stormtrooper Finn ( John Boyega ). As mercenaries close in on them, Han takes the Falcon into light speed, and they get away.

When Han learns that Rey is looking for Luke, who disappeared years before, he takes them to his old friend Maz Kanata ( Lupita Nyong'o ), who can deliver the droid BB-8 to the Resistance against the tyrannical First Order . They are forced to flee when First Order troops descend upon them. H
