Who saved the day again? His last name wasn't Skywalker, that much is for sure.





Well, to be fair, it was a team effort...




Only in as much as Han didn't want to scratch his baby flying through some stupid trench.




Fair enough, cause when that did happen, someone lost the sensor dish. /accuse Lando

I was on Lok last week, helping my brother with Nym's theme park... when I ran into Han and Chewie.


I nearly crapped myself.


It's enough to make me consider going reb... but then, that's what Starsider Gith is for.

well lets make this official, everyone sign if you want the devs to fix Han up the way he should be. Black cargo vest, black boots and PLEASE for the love of god sort out the hieght of the NPC's. Every damn player on naritus is about 7ft tall and it makes the characters from the films look like midgets.

It would have been nice in character creation/Image Design sessions to add a number by the slider for character height. I just want my character at six feet, like me(well, I might be a little over or under by less than an inch, but six is a good balance). Even if the number is in meters/centimeters, it'd be great.

Agree, and I love Han in "Empire" whenLeia sniffles at him before he is frozen. "I love you.", and he shoots back with deadly seriousness, "I know." That is so Han, and if I am correct(maybe) Harrison Ford improvised that line.

Uhm, I'm going to be nice here and simply point our that your correction was wrong. Han swoops in, blows up ONE of Vader's wingmen, the other says "Look out!" bumps into Vader so that Vader's TIE is knocked out safely and the pilot his the trenchwall and explodes. Vader spins out of control for a while, then flies off.


Han did NOT shoot Vader. I suggest you watch Episode 4 again.

Lando was a smuggler, but he respec'ed to Merchant/Politician. Then he hired some pig-guys at slave wages and started his gas mining business. Pigs are good for obtaining gas. Hmmm, maybe Lando watched 'Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" too many times.

oh it was definitely Harrison Ford who came up with that line and insisted it be used.
Ford has said in the past that Lucas couldn't write his way out of a paper bag, in not so many words

that line is pure Han. that and him SHOOTING GREEDO FIRST!

ok it was ford who came up with "I know"... he said that was how he woulda anserd given the twos relationship and harrsion being a no strings attached kinda guy. and if han hit vader it was a grazen when he hit the wing man.. and im not sure this grazen actualyhappend but what is for sure is the alliance would have been made all dead if it wasnt for han

thats what I know
