Talk:Han Solo/Legends

Non-copyvio article (aka new version of this article)
I started a replacement article for our old copyvio one. All I did was fill in the character template, give a Databank link, and write a potential intro paragraph to the character. – Aidje talk 05:51, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * And its gonna need alot more. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:37, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * That's for sure. – Aidje talk 16:13, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Expanded a bit. Still needs expansion on early years and a lot on post-Endor life.  &mdash; Silly Dan  15:14, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Putting it on the main page, with some very preliminary post-Endor stuff and a request for expansion. &mdash; Silly Dan  16:03, 30 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Torture
I seem to recall Solo being tortured at least three times: by Darth Vader on Cloud City, by Nil Spaar aboard Pride of Yevetha...and another that I can't recall. Can anyone else remember the lost torture session or am I just imagining things? --SparqMan 23:28, 28 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Gethzerion tortures him in The Courtship of Princess Leia. Dunno if that's the one you mean, tho. StarNeptune 19:43, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * Daala tortures him in the Maw YIIMM 07:41, 1 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Han also gets tortured by the Chiss aboard one of there Star Destroyers as a means to interrogate Leia in Dark Nest III, the Swarm War. - Though in fact this does turn out to be a Han Solo double!

Languages
Every the intergalactic gentleman, Han seems to have quite the number of languages under his belt. There are a few languages he tries in Shield of Lies, Rodese in A New Hope, Shyriiwook...what else? --SparqMan 09:22, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC) Oh that's right, good call. Brain freeze! --SparqMan 19:38, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * That wasn't Rodese; that was Huttese that poor Greedo was speaking. Also, if Nien Nunb spoke Sullustan with him in the Marvel Comics, then he spoke that, as well. jSarek 10:52, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)

info about solo blaster?
 * DL-44 heavy blaster pistol - Kwenn 18:52, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)


 * He spoke sullust-ese or whatever in Paridise Snare. acutally, it said he could understand, but not speak it.

To Jedi or not to Jedi?
It's mentioned a few times in Swarm War that Han's done so much for them that the rest of the Order actually considers him a member of the Jedi. So do we put him in the Jedi category or take him out? We've had a couple of reverts back and forth, and I don't want this to turn into an edit war.Thanos6 18:44, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * The category is 'Jedi characters', implying that the characters in the category are Jedi. Han is not actually a Jedi, so he can't be placed in this category. If we had a category for 'Jedi Order' or similar (i.e. subjects that are part of the Order, but aren't necessarily Jedi themselves. I think Lorn Pavan worked at the Temple as part of the maintenance staff at one point, though he wasn't Force-sensitive), he could be placed into that - Kwenn 18:50, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps a "Jedi-Auxillary" category? Antarian Rangers, Lorn Pavan, Han Solo, Agricultural corps. Its something of a catch-all, but it might be helpful

Age
Where did his age come from. Super Star Wars says he's 31 in ANH but his article says he's 29 in ANH. --Darthsith19 23:07, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Er, we're not really going to take Super Star Wars info over official, verified sources. I believe Leland Chee has a Blog featuring the birth years of the major characters, which confirms Han is 29 in ANH - Kwenn 23:10, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Leland Chee, huh? Who the heck is that? Must be someone pretty official if you take his advice.
 * He's the Keeper of the Holocron - ie, the official database that the EU authors use to keep everything in sync. QuentinGeorge 23:48, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Um, okay. --Darthsith19 05:40, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)


 * man, chill out. han was 29. if he were 31, that means that he and leia would have been 9 years apart. seriously, now....Yoda1300 23:30, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm chilled out. And actually if he were 31 he and Leia'd be 12 years apart. As it is they're 10 years apart. Seems likda crazy, but why would we judge there ages by their love?


 * It comes from the later Han Solo trilogy, which has a pretty clear timeline and starts 10 years before ANH, with Han 19 years old.

Clotheslegging
The Falcon's crew attempted clotheslegging in the Cron Drift

Can anyone explain me what does clotheslegging mean in this context? English is a second language for me, but I tried several dictionaries and didn't find anything. --Bodo-Baas 20:38, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Smuggling clothes, I assume. (The word probably comes from the term "bootlegging", which might be more familiar to you.) The only mention of it I recall is in the Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook (it might also be mentioned in Han Solo and the Lost Legacy), but all the details given are that they tried it. &mdash; Silly Dan 21:04, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Frozen
did Han Solo stayed frozen in carbonite for 1 year? -Darth Tader
 * I think it was only a few months (a busy few months, considering Shadows of the Empire, three years worth of Marvel Star Wars, and a bundle of other adventures took place while he was frozen.) &mdash; Silly Dan 01:34, 15 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks. -Darth Tader

Date of death
I suggest that for the characters whos dates of death are unknown, we simply put "unknown," instead of leaving it blank. My reasoning is because we have to assume that since this takes place long ago, all of these characters would be dead anyway. Putting "unknown" lets the reader know they are considered dead. Yeah, I know it's silly, but... Adamwankenobi 04:24, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree. I've been removing all these unknowns since one of the new features of the box is that we CAN leave fields blank - and they won't appear. QuentinGeorge 08:34, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Drummed out of the Empire?
Forgive me for asking this, but if Han Solo saved Chewbacca from a blaster shot, and ostensibly helped free him, would the Empire simply drum him out? Surely he'd be sentenced to death or imprisoned at least, no one crosses the Empire right? is it not more likely he escaped and it was covered up by his superior to avoid embarassment and possible court martial of those who were supposed to stop him? Any thoughts on this? --Dante 10:10 am Feb 27 2006

Han himself recalled his court-martial in The Hutt Gambit. Han was most likely charged with assaulting a superior officer and the loss of Imperial property (one Wookiee slave) - serious enough to get him kicked out, but not enough to warrant execution. They figured that a dishonourable discharge, loss of pension and all back pay, and being stripped of his medals (save the Corellian Bloodstripes) was punishment enough, in addition to being unofficially blacklisted with shipping companies. 218.215.5.113 01:05, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Anyone notice this?
"Bugs! Why did it have to be bugs?" — Han Solo, on first encounter with the Killiks

I know it seems simple enough, and you've probably all realised this, but this quote from the Dark Nest trilogy is a play on the Indiana Jones quote; "Snakes! Why did it have to be sankes?" (Raiders of the Lost Ark)

Bald Imperial Cadet
Anyone remember what comic was Han a Bald Imperial Cadet still training with Fel and company? --Razzy1319 06:29, 30 March 2006 (UTC)


 * That would be X-wing Rogue Squadron 25: The Making of Baron Fel. The issue is also collected in the X-wing Rogue Squadron: Blood and Honor TPB. Red XIV 07:22, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

LOTF section
The LOTF section reads like the summary of the book. Is it even worth including as is? --SparqMan 02:29, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Quote From ANH
Anyone remember in the Mos Eisley Cantina when Obi-wan and Luke are talking to Han and Chewie? Then Han mentions something about outrunning Imperial starships. The conversation goes something like this:

Han: ''I've outrun Imperial Starships. Not the local bulk cruisers, mind you, I'm talkin about the big Corellian ships, now.''

Now, the only "local bulk crusiers" that come to mind are Star Destroyers. But they weren't manufactured by CEC, but by Kuat.

What "big Corellian ships" where he talking about, if star destroyers were manufactured by Kuat? And if the Empire had like a contract with Kuat?
