I think the major salient point here isn't that if you want to be like Han Solo you should shoot yourself in the head, but that he is NOT the end all be all for patterns of smuggling, nor should he be the INDELLIBLE benchmark by which we decide what we want for our profession (ie: "If Han didn't do it or use it neither should we" is completely invalid a response). Because this is a RPG and we make our own characters.
QFE
Han was one Smuggler out of many. His methods differ as much as mine from, say, fishbrain's over there inthe corner. /waveJust 'cause Han did it doesn't mean I need to. Look where Han ened up: Frozen in carbonite! Han couldn't ever hold onto his credits in his early years.....well, either can I, but that's aside the point. Han isn't the final line on what Smugglers can and can't be. We (well, us and the devs....)define what Smugglers can and can't be. Some smugglers may prefer a Carbine instead of Han's pistol. A Smuggler may decide to fly A luxury yacht, like lando..... They may be freelance, like Rendar, or get tied up in the rebellion, like Han. Some Smuggle information, like Karrde, and have large organizations. Some work for Hutts, some work against em. Some Smuggle from the Imperials, some are Imperials.
Don't limit yourself to Han, but don't rule out him, either.

Yup, can agree with that.

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.....
BE YOUR OWN SMUGGLER

Isn't that what fishy wants? Do what you want?
well that and get some discussion started. That's what I love about this forum. We can all disagree and sometimes bicker but at the end of the day we all still like each other.
