If you're here, and you seem to be, you must have some desire to read my author's notes on Han Solo. Well, in no particular order, here they are ...
Han is a beloved player in a fandom that is the one of the widest in all the world. We need to look no further than it still being relevant in popular culture, since it was released to the world in 1977. As such, people have very strong love of these characters and I am no exception. I love Star Wars and it's characters. If you have an interest in playing with a Han Solo, you probably do too.
For people who are curious, though, I base my Han largely out of the following sources of the Legacy Extended Universe:
"The Paradise Snare," "The Hut Gambit," and "Rebel Dawn" by A. C. Crispin
as well as
"Han Solo at Stars End," "Han Solo's Revenge," and "Han Solo and the Lost Legacy," by Brian Daley.
The first trilogy covers Han's life before he meets the Skywalkers. He deals with a lot of loss in these books. The second trilogy emphasizes the space pirate elements to his character. I loved these stories so much when I read them (years ago) that in many ways, they supplant the movies for me.
If you have any questions or comments for me, feel free to drop them here. They're screened.
