Solo plays a major role in the Star Wars saga, moving from a reluctant, selfish participant to a central figure over the course of the first three released Star Wars films (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.) Star Wars creator George Lucas describes him as "a loner who realizes the importance of being part of a group and helping for the common good."
History
As portrayed by Ford, Han Solo is an arrogant Corellian smuggler with a wry wit, a reckless disposition, and technological savvy who flies the Millennium Falcon.
In his youth (described in Expanded Universe material) Solo was a beggar in the streets of Corellia. He was discovered by Garris Shrike, captain of the Trader's Luck. Seduced by promises of a better life, Solo followed the man to his space ship, a relic of the Clone Wars. Unbeknownst to the young Corellian, the Trader's Luck was little more than a slave ship, where the rule was "Everyone works." After spending most of his childhood pickpocketing and scamming at the whim of the abusive Shrike, Han came under the care of Dewlanna, a widowed Wookiee "indebted" to the ruthless captain. At some point in his youth he was in a swoop race with Dengar, who was severely injured during the course of the race. Dengar sought revenge on Solo ever since. Solo earned his freedom at the age of 19, escaping the Luck on the droid-controlled vessel Ylesian Dream. In the process, an enraged Garris killed Dewlanna, Solo's foster mother.
In response to an ad for good pilots and the events aboard the Trader's Luck, circumstances which provided a free ride to the Hutt-controlled jungle planet Ylesia, Solo braved the planet's storm-ridden atmosphere. There he discovered a religious conspiracy, led by Ylesia's High Priest, Teroenza, to attract slaves to process illegal glitterstim spice. With the help of his friends Muuurgh the Togorian (a feline humanoid) and Bria Tharen (his first love, whom he discovered as a mindless drone in the factories and deprogrammed), Solo stole a significant portion of Teroenza's private art collection, worth hundreds of thousands of credits. The trio also destroyed the spice factory, adding insult to injury by hijacking the T'landa Til's private yacht. On Coruscant, Bria Tharen disappeared from Solo's life, engendering in him a "Love 'em and leave 'em" philosophy towards women. He then enlisted in the Imperial Navy and was nearly killed by Garris Shrike on the night of his induction ceremony. Shrike had intended to collect on the bounty placed on Solo for his Ylesian sabotage. Hungry for vengeance after the murder of Dewlanna, Solo turned the tables on the captain and nearly killed him. Amidst their savage battle, a second bounty hunter gunned down Shrike in order to claim Solo for himself, only to be destroyed himself by a desperate Han Solo.
