There seems to be a resurgance in the smuggler forum of some of us trying to pidgenhole ourselves into Solo clones. This needs to stop. What fun is there is hundreds of folks trying to force their craracters to be someone who in the grand scheme of things was not really a highly successfull smuggler (credit wise, I mean he made alot but could never keep it). Hell, Karrde was 10x the smuggler Han was. Yes, Han had style, and was quite the bad ass and was obviously the best thing about the original trilogy. However, he was not the end all be all smuggler for SWG. Create your own identity, have diffrent smuggler heros. FOr instance the character I base my smuggler of of is not even a SW character. It's Morgan Freeman's character in the Shawshank Redemption. The guy who can get you things. So stop trying to make us all solo. As a wise fellow on this very forum recently said.....

Yeah, Han's good and all, but me... I think Renn's better.

(Now isn't that very Smuggler-like. Every one of us will jump in here and say the same thing.

See, I don't think i can be considered jumping on this bandwagon. I already stated last night:

More to the point, however, is we're all Smugglers. We're arrogant and cocky. Han Solo should be considered our competitor not our hero. If you don't think you're better than him, you need to get out of this business, son. Me? I'm second to nobody. I'll modify a DH-17 or Power5 or Death Hammer so that in my hands, Han Solo on his best day couldn't beat me half asleep, hungover, and looking for my pants before that pretty Twi'lek dancer wakes up.


If anything, I think ya'll just trying to be Orkajum'sydef wannabes

Man, you wouldn't want to see me in my clothing (Han Solo ESB attire), my preferred weapon (DL-44....black!), my ship (YT-1300 with dish, no paintjob), or the interior of my ship (replica of the Falcon except for thecontrol terminal and chair which I can't get),I even have the complete lounge and all the items in the right spot!

I'm not a Han Solo clone and proud of it. Besides, it'd hard for a Twi'lek to be a clone of Han.
But I'm my own person. It's more fun that way.
