— Han Solo to C-3PO[src] |
Han Solo (1911–1977), known only as Han until given his surname by Chief Drawd Munbrin, was a Corellian male smuggler and an instrumental figure in the Galactic Civil War; the husband of General Leia Organa and father of Supreme Leader Kylo Ren.
In his youth, Han was a member of the White Worms criminal syndicate until he escaped at nineteen years old in 1930 and joined the Imperial Navy in hopes of rescuing his lover Qi'ra but was kicked out and instead joined the 224th Imperial Armored Division as a corporal. He again escaped and joined Crimson Dawn as part of Tobias Beckett's gang. By 1943, Solo was in the employ of crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure but owed the Hutt a great deal of money. In that year, his life took a new path when he agreed to charter Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, R2-D2, and C-3PO to Alderaan. Solo soon got caught up in the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Civil War and fought in the Battle of Yavin, then continued to fight for the Alliance and was promoted to the rank of general.
Around four years later, Han married Princess Leia Organa and they had a son, Ben Solo. As a result of the Force-sensitive Ben struggling with the dark side of the Force, Organa sent him to train as a Jedi with Luke Skywalker, her brother, but Ben was seduced to the dark side by Supreme Leader Snoke of the First Order and became Kylo Ren. Solo and Organa subsequently separated and Solo returned to smuggling, even losing his ship, the Millennium Falcon. He continued to smuggle until he was brought into the Resistance—First Order conflict by the scavenger Rey and the defected stormtrooper Finn. Solo reunited with Organa and fought in the Battle of Starkiller Base, where he attempted to convince Ren to leave the First Order and return home. Ren instead impaled his father with his lightsaber and Solo, mortally wounded, fell to his death in the bowels of Starkiller Base.
