Eye Color?
Is his eye color really Brown?
 * Presumably, he has the same eye colour as Harrison Ford. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 02:22, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Well according to The Paradise Snare he has "dark hair and eyes", which then you can assume is brown, like his hair Korsa3 02:21, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

Isn't Harrison Ford's eye color hazel? Definitely not brown. Andreou 04:19, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, his are hazel. But he's an actor who potrayed a character. Much like how in movies "based on a true story", the actor in some cases looks nothing like the person s/he is portraying. According to official sources Han Solo's eye color is brown. Korsa3 22:02, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Jenos Idanian alias
Umm yeah. I got a question for you all. See I never got to read any of the comics or Special Editions. So I have the movies and anythign after The Truce at Bakura to go off of. Anyway, would someone explain when Han uses the alias Jenos Idanian? Cause they use that same name for another Corellian later on. When Coran leaves Corellia after visiting his grandfather, that's what his identicard says he is.
 * Did you read the Jenos Idanian article? -Fnlayson 03:39, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

this page's primary quote
I think Han's primary quote should be: "Why you low down, stuck up, half-witted, scruffy looking, nerf herder!" It does give some detail to Han's personality. LeiaOrganicSolo 13:10, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I agree that the "Han's no mystery man" quote does fit better in its new location. A page's primary quote, naturally, should give some insight into the personality/character of the person. While I agree that the current "I love you" quote from ESB does a fairly nice job of showing exactly the kind of person Han Solo is/was, I'm not sure it quote belongs as a primary quote...not that I have any suggestions for subsitution. Maybe we can try and find something a little better. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:58, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Stacy?
Doesn't Stacy deserve a mention in Han Solo's romances? She was made canon. --Skyearia 13:19, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * who is Stacy?93.57.95.170 21:12, December 1, 2010 (UTC)another long lost Solo cousin
 * The only other possible "romance" I can think of Han having, would be Jenny (not even sure if that is in fact her name) She appeared in a deleted scene from the cantina with Han in ANH. Korsa3 21:25, December 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * isn't there some Jessa Vandangante person?93.57.95.170 15:38, May 11, 2011 (UTC)another long lost Solo cousin

Plannet
is he really from CorelliaLukeSkywalker07 23:49, 8 November 2007 (UTC)LukeSkywalker07
 * Yes. Read the article. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 02:22, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Affiliation
Should the Smugglers' Alliance be listed under Solo's affiliations? He works with them on several occasions (e.g. Battle of Ebaq 9), but I'm not sure if he would be considered "affiliated" with them. I vote yes. Thoughts?
 * He only worked with them as an envoy. He wasn't a smuggler in the Alliance.  He did do some privateering during the Vong war, but I don't think that counts. -Fnlayson 00:23, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't "Jedi Order" be added to his affiliations? On the NJO page he's listed as an honorary member so, either it should be added here or taken down there.

Daughter
I have removed this from the article: There are rumors that, some time around 13 BBY, Han may have fathered a daughter, Danielle Kieran. This is from an ambiguously canonical source, and to my knowledge, there is no IU evidence of any such rumors. -- Ozzel 22:57, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank-you! I completly forgot about that! LeiaOrganicSolo 13:11, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

This is relevant information. It should be in the article. Grant Brünner 00:19, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

In 13 BBY Han would have been 16- how could he have a daughter? Besides, Bria Tharen is called his fist love and wasn't she after that?93.57.95.170 15:41, May 11, 2011 (UTC)another long lost Solo cousin

Old Quinlin Image
I think we should we should get rid of the young Solo with old Quinlin image off this page. Half of the image is in the appearances scroll box, and it makes the look sloppy. And it is already in the Ghost page. -- Darth Greig 18:28 February 18 2008

Justification of Edit
In case someone edits my edit of Han's Battlefront appearances. He is encased in carbonite in the carbon freezing chamber in the Bespin: Cloud City story level of Battlefront 1 and he was only mentioned by the commander after the clone rebellion level on Kamino by saying something to the effect of: "He left after that, said something about finding a smuggler on Tatooine," in Battlefront 2. Admittedly, he might not have been talking about Solo, but it is highly likely he was. NaruHina 13:51, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, technically, he does make an appearance in Battlefront 2... not just an indirect mention. 14:23, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Where? The Empire wins in the story mode and the other modes are uncanon.... If your talking about the Falcon fleeing Hoth then that was a Falcon appearance and because it was him on it in the movie, it might be an indirect appearance. Your thoughts? NaruHina ''' Talk Anakinsolo.png 01:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * We count even the Instant Action mode - not the events portrayed, but any people that might be included, such as Han. At least, that's how it's worked so far. I don't believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that it's been decided either way. Kyle Katarn's appearance list, for instance, shows him in Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption, as a direct appearance, even though he doesn't show up or is talked about in anything but the Skirmish mode. This might not be all that correct, but it's precedent. 01:10, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Then why don't we put him and the others as ambiguos (sorry about spelling) 'cause I don't think its been decided either way either. Maybe the administrators should have a debate or something. It would finally stop the arguing over the issue. NaruHina ''' Talk Anakinsolo.png 01:19, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * About deciding, I agree; however, it's not something that can be decided admins-only. We have the Forum:Consensus track for stuff like this ;) . There are actually a lot of things that would fall under this category. 01:27, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the advice and the competition. I was unaware of the track's existance so now I've created a forum, here. NaruHina ''' Talk Anakinsolo.png 01:55, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Was he paid for taking them to Alderaan?
I mean he didn't actually brought them to Alderaan, but was he paid 15 000 anyway? If not, that would give only 20000 - 15000=5000 for saving the Princes?
 * Well, he got the reward for saving the princess before the Battle of Yavin, though if the payment for the ride was included is uncertain. I'd imagine it would've been added with the reward. 15:47, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Han in the Imperial Navy (picture)
There are much better pictures of Han in the Imperial Navy in the Chewbacca comic. There's one of him in an officer's uniform and another in a TIE pilot's flightsuit. Why can't one of those be used rather than the blurry one of Han as a cadet. There's actually a very poignant picture of Han finding Chewie, wearing his TIE flightsuit. These need to be uploaded and put in here but I lost my electronic copy of the comic. Katana Geldar  13:12, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I actually like the Han as a cadet picture, but if there's one of him finding chewie that would probably be better. oh by the way, after he got dishonorably discharged how did he meet up with chewie again? the imperials can't very well have decided to let Han have him.93.57.95.170 20:52, December 1, 2010 (UTC)another long lost Solo cousin

House in the clouds
We really need to add the information about how Han was buliding his house on Bespin during the Jedi Prince series. 65.60.234.210 21:40, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Isn't that Non-Cannon?MiricaEclipse 22:42, December 23, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, Seriously People
Why hasn't anyone put up the info from Millenium Falcon yet? It's been months!

Han's age
I was looking at his year of birth and Padme Amidala's year of birth and, unless I'm reading it wrong, it appears that he's three years older than her. How is that possible, when he appears to be probably only two years older than Padme's daughter, Leia?
 * Amidala was born in 46 BBY, Han was born in 29 BBY, and Leia was born in 19 BBY. Han is seventeen years younger than Amidala and ten years older than Leia. Menkooroo 07:30, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks like I was reading it wrong. It still seems a little weird that he's ten years older than Leia when he only looks a few years older. Oh well. Emiigurl 10:13, June 12, 2010

Holiday special?
Why is that crap in there? That's non-canon isn't it?
 * No. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 13:17, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's definately canon. Regardless of how embarrassed Lucas is by it...Korsa3 14:13, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Main image
Could we use this image instead of the current one for Han's infobox? A headshot is generally preferred to a body image.--ID-21 Dolphin 16:01, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree, headshot=better. VhettSkirata Mando'ade  19:00, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Does a picture really matter as long as it's a quality article? Andreou 04:15, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it does. Plus, it's not a very high-quality article, there's a lot of major cleaning up and reorganization needed.--ID-21 Dolphin 12:50, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just because the article is in need of maintenance doesn't mean that a lower quality image can be placed in the infobox. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 18:00, October 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Uploaded a higher-quality headshot (LEFT). This way, this satisfies both the headshot and the quality, a nice compromise.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 19:24, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

Question
Where does the events portrayed in Death Troopers fit into the article? Happy Boy 04:24, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Vote for Main Image
I have suggested changing the main image to a headshot, which would look nicer. Let's settle this democratically.-- ID-21 Dolphin  (Talk) 19:33, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

Votes

Option 1

 * 1) I'm fine with the one we have already. At a glance, this seems to be of better quality than the others, and I'd be fine with option 2 if it didn't look so much like a prison mugshot.=/ --''' Bonslywizard Trade_Federation.svg( Send a transmission ) 01:45, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree with Bonsly... Option 2 is totally a prison mugshot. I think cropping #1 would be the best option. Menkooroo 03:47, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

Option 2

 * 1) Of course, since I suggested this image, I'm voting here.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 19:33, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * I too think the new image is better.  OLIOSTER  (talk) 20:54, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) I always hated the current one. This one is better, but I'd like to see a few more options if possible. Xicer9 atgar.svg( Combadge) 21:41, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Only if somewhere is found for the current image. - ~  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 01:29, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Only if somewhere is found for the current image. - ~  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 01:29, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

Option 3
1 I think the other ones don't look that much like Han. then again, a prison mug shot might be more fitting, since it's Han.93.57.95.170 20:55, December 1, 2010 (UTC)another long lost Solo cousin

2. I like this one. It looks like Han, and in the others he looks like he's wearing too much make-up.93.57.95.170 21:00, December 1, 2010 (UTC)A little Leia-crazy Star Wars fan

Discussion
It dies unless it's sourced properly. I'd have killed it already if not for this ongoing vote. I'll give you 24 hours to source it properly. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 21:57, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sourced from ANH, though I'm a little confused about what you mean.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 22:19, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * The new headshot doesn't have a source. It is not from ANH. No background and no such close scene in the film. It is more likely an arverticement picture or something alike. Darth Morrt 22:40, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Uploaded a slightly different headshot in the middle. Internet Movie Database cites it as a still shot from ANH, meaning that the image has been isolated from a scene and placed on a blue background.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 23:28, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks more like a promotional photo to me. I doubt it's from the movie. Xicer9 atgar.svg( Combadge) 00:26, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

I have now properly sourced it. ~  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 01:30, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I would just like to say I voted for option 2 BEFORE the image was switched out with another one...Would've been nice to atleast tell the previous voters that they are now voting for something else. (and I disagree, it does not look like a mug shot :P)Korsa3 04:05, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I fricking love the image that Option 2 used to be. The problem is, we (I, at least) have no idea where it's from... and I think it might actually be an image of Harrison Ford, not Han Solo. :^P But yeah, Dolphin, if you change the voting options, make sure to inform those who have already voted on their talk page. Menkooroo 04:16, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks to JMAS, the image is now sourced properly, but I'll try to find and properly source a version of what Option 2 used to be. I agree, it looks nicer than the current option, but if it's allwe have, we'll have to do with it.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 11:14, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wasn't aware of the policy, but apparently my vote doesn't count anyway-ignore me. Korsa3 04:15, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * It should be noted that IMDB is not an official source, either. Might want to keep hunting for an image from one. jSarek 08:27, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it was also formerly from Official Pix, but is no longer available on their site. I've never been clear on whether that still counts as official, even if it's no longer there? - ~  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 15:07, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Official Pix has been used for main images in many articles, including certain FAs, such as Grievous.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 20:13, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
