Star Wars has presented us throughout his ten films (a series that goes from Episode I to Episode VIII, a film based on the collection of the plans of the Death Star and an animated , which happens between Clone Wars ) number of characters, with different characteristics, objectives and personalities. Han Solo is one of the main characters of the saga, appearing for the first time in Star Wars: episode IV - A New Hope and dying in Star Wars: Episode VII - The awakening of the Force ; and although it can be cataloged like a self-centered, authoritarian and odious person, it managed to conquer the heart of the fans of all the galaxies, including the heart of Princess Leia Organa .
Once we know their intentions at the beginning of Episode IV, we can ask ourselves " And if the film is based on the liberation of the Galaxy, what positive thing can a smuggler ruffian contribute to all this besides serving as a driver? " and therefore, their actions speak for themselves. His charisma, confidence and his " risky" decisions make him the favorite of many. In addition, it is worth noting that he is not a user of force, nor a Jedi, nor anything similar: he is a simple human, he is Han Solo , the best pilot of the Galaxy.
Today I present to you Ten things you did not know about Han Solo the heartthrob galactic pilot.
