The real question is could a force sensitive Han beat the ripped shirt Kirk?

not everything must be related to the game..., luke and han in ST armor...using a E11 rifle with 1 hand, and other needless stuff that would be too complicated to put into the game
i do wish i could pose as an imperial officer to sneak into a headquarters or something
then again...not many imperial officers are rodian
Yeah... I mean, in the movies how many wookiee officers did you see? How many twi'lek officers? For that matter, how many FEMALE OFFICERS? What about non-caucasian officers?... Not a one... White Human Males... that's it... a lot of people say, and I agree, that part of what they did in making only white males in the Empire, is you not only have only humans, but you have only white males, so that just says "Empire is hugely racist and evil"
As for Han being FS, I'd say no... He never was listed as such in the old West End RPG, and he's not in the new d20 ones. Also, Corellians are force holes? I've never heard that, and I can tell you this... Corran Horn is one of the most powerful Jedi next to Luke, and his family is very powerful with telekinesis (ala move object), much more than even Luke on that one power.

It was an intentional swipe at Nazi Germany, of course (most of Star Wars's material is WW2-centric, from the names to the guns to the combat styles). The other thing to remember is that the origial trilogy was filmed in England, and when they needed extras and actors to play small, 3-4 line parts, they weren't about to fly someone in from Cambodia when there was a line of actors around the block looking for work.
Now, as for Han Solo being Force Sensitive, that's a negatory as far as I know. I've never seen any mention of it in Canon, and if you step outside the Canon, the next most "direct" source would be the Star Wars novelizations. It has been mentioned many times in the books (especially in the NJO) that Han Solo has no Force Sensitivity. At least, nothing active. He can't use or communicate with the Force the way that a Jedi, or even a Force Sensitive being would.
However, I believe it has also been mentioned that the Force is "with" him. That is to say, while he is not aware of the Force in any direct way, nor can he influence it through his own will, it may very well aid him in the broadest of strokes. For example, he couldn't use the Force to, say, send a telepathic message, see into the future, or lift heavy objects with his mind. But his extraordinary "luck" could easily be attributed to the greater mechanisms of the Force orchestrating things in his favor. Not so much fate or luck, really. Simply an arrangement impossible for the conscious mind to coordinate allowing him to be in the right place at the right time, time and time again.

According to Supershadow, Han had a midichlorian count of 1500, you needed 7000 to be considered for Jedi training.
Please don't tell me you think what Supershadow says is right. The guy is a deranged fan who thinks he's Lucas' best friend. All he is is a follower of what is popular among fans.
About the lightsaber ... anyone can push the button and activate the lightsaber. It took a Jedi to use it with such precise ways. All Han did was use it as a knife pretty much. Nothing special.
