We love Han Solo as much as the next Star Wars fanatic, but we admit throughout all the films, Star Wars lore gets a little tricky. We have to admit when George Lucas first thought of a movie about guys fighting in space, we're sure he didn't expect it to go so far. Understandably, some things don't make sense. There are, however, confusing things that should make sense. In this list, we'll be talking about 25 things about Han Solo that just don't make sense, continuity errors or not. This is a hot issue since the Han origin story movie Solo: A Star Wars Story came out recently. Alden Ehrenreich (spelled that on the first try without looking), kudos for your effort. We don't think anyone on Ear🎉th could replicate young Harrison Ford, so thank you for trying.
The thing about Han Solo is that Harrison Ford really wasn't trying when he was cast. George Lucas didn't expect it, and so Harrison Ford's Han was effortlessly brilliant. Plus it's difficult to replicate his voice and looks. Some people are just difficult to imitate, we guess that's why acting exists. The closest we've found so far is the brill♑iant . He does a very good , and he auditioned. So we're reeling as to why he wasn't seriously considered. We know that casting is a whole process and it's more than just looks but still... anyway, let's get to it!
25 🍎 Doesn't He Hate Teams? ဣ
One of the first things we learn about Han Solo in Star Wars is that he's not a fan of being on a team. Solo jokes aside, Han is first introduced to us in A New Hope all the way back in 1977.
Han Solo is an extroverted loner.
Han isn't a team guy, which he states at the end of the film when Luke asks for his help against Darth Vader, and Han takes the money and runs (spoiler: he obviously comes back to save the day, guys). So whᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚy in the new Han Solo movie, does it say that Han .
24 Amnesia About Lando? 🉐
This one can't be blamed on the years between the original movies and the prequels because this all happened in the one film. In The Empire Strikes Back the whole gang (except Luke, who's balancing on his head in a forest somewhere) meet Han's old friend Lando, who Han sa⛄ys not to trus♛t.
He was right, anꦏd Lando betrays them. What's confusing is Han seems hurt by Lando's betrayal, yet he was the one who warned Leia not to trust Lando? Our minds can't keep up. Either way, he turned back to the good side.
23 Ho𒐪w Did He For🥂get Jedi?
One thing that was hugely focused on in the prequels was the Jedi. Since they were all wiped out 🌃by the time Luke was a teenager, we didn't hear much about them in the originals. We only see Obi-Wan teach Luke some stuff, and then Han pokes fun at Jedi༺ and doesn't believe they exist.
This doesn't make sense, because the Jedi were i🎐n full force 20 years earlier, and Han is in his early 30s, meaning that Jedi would have been inꦑ their prime when he was a child, so why can't he remember them?
22 He Likes Danger 💃
In the Star Wars universe, there are like 30 more planets then what exist in oꦑur humble universe. Seriously, planet-hopping is so easy. Just use your ship like driving a car. Yet Han Solo chose t꧅o relax in an establishment on Tatooine, where Jabba the Hutt resided.
Jabba the Hutt who was specifically looking for Han...
Why go to The Canti⛦na? Why not go hide somewhere else or just float around space? Admittedly it didn't seem like Jabba was looking too hard but still, way to live life on the edge, Han.
21 🉐 Did He Help Kylo? ꦗ
One thing that has many fans speculating and creating devastating was Han's passing. In The Force Awakens, we see Kylo end Han by turning on his lightsaber. It was truly heartbreaking, but we'll focus more on t🐈hat 🔯later.
What has fans' heads turning is the fact that Kylo asked Han for help while they were talking on the bridge, leading fans to wonder if Han turneꦐd the lightsaber on himself. Kylo does seem to in the scene.
20 ꧋ 🍷His Magic Jacket
This is more of a continuity error for the cast and crew on set at the time. Do you remember the heartbreaking scene in The Empire Strikes Back when Han was in carbonite? Of course you do. It created o𓂃ne of the most well-known of all time (thanks to Harrison).
What you might not have realized is Han's jacket goes . It's a simple mistake that happens in a lot of movies, but as Star Wars has such a huge following, every single detail of the films have been catalogued into the🅠 .
19 🧸 How Mu💫ch Does He Shop?
Han Solo should have some serious cash flow. He's a criminal outlaw who smuggles things for large sums of cash, yet . When we first see Han, Jabba is after him because Han is late on a delivery after ꦦJabba pai🌞d him a lot of money.
Han, seriously, sort out your finances.
Luke and Obi-Wan convince him🐽 to let them on the ship after they offer him more money. Yet he always seems to be in trouble with owing people money, right up until his passing. What does he spend it on?
18 💟 Why Is He Grumpy?
In our opinion, Han Solo had a pretty good life. He starts off owning his own ship with his best💙 friend and they ride around being paid large sums of money. Then he meets Leia,🐻 they save the world, he gains a family and marries the love of his life.
Han and Leia have a beautiful baby boy (admittedly, this turns out bad), but altogether, he seems to have it pretty good. So why is he always seemingly grumpy? We guess he's just na𒆙turally a negative person.
17 ൩ Opposites Must Attract 🍒
As we've discovered, Han Solo isn't a fan of authority or taking orders; basically, he doesn't like being bossed around. So why did he choose Princess Leia to marry? We love her, but we love her because she's bossy and pushy and tells everyone what to do all the time. She literally becamꦛe General Organa.
We guess even in the Star Wars univerꦓse, love doesn't discriminate and oppos♈ites attract. It's kind of satisfying that Han came full circle and married the opposite of everything he stood for since we were first introduced to him. Either way, we still love them.
16 Is He Sm🥀art Or Stupid?
Han and Qi'ra want to get off Corellia, understandably. They don't want to w✨ork for Lady Proxima anymore and we want them to escape too. But between the two of them you'd think they could come up with a better plan to escape. They literally have years to think of a foolproof way to get off the planet, yet they choose the dumbest plan.
Did they think of the plan in one day?
Their plan of attack was to bribe the guard so he'd let them through; that was it. There are so many things that could go wrong with that plan, we don't understand why they'd go with it. Oh well, maybe they were just that 𒁏desperate.
