DarthVenom Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Since we know Han Solo was around 35 in EPIV, and that EPIII takes part around 18 years later could a young Han make a cameo apperance as a budding Empire Cadet in training? Also Chewie, as we know he was enslaved by the Empire aswell (but not when)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 The whole Empire/Han/Chewie thing is Expanded Universe I think, isn't it? If so, George can veto the whole thing. But it would be cool, considering Owen and Beru were in EP2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthVenom Posted June 20, 2002 Author Share Posted June 20, 2002 I always thought it was official? Never read any EU stuff... You right it was good to see the Lars in EPII, they must be in III aswell.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Hmmm, I thought Expanded Universe meant anything that's not explicitly stated in a film. Really, it's all "official" since EU stuff has to go through Lucas Licensing, just like PC games, etc...to maintain some form of continuity. Regardless, who'd play him? I vote for Pauly Shore.

DarthVenom Posted June 20, 2002 Author Share Posted June 20, 2002 Yes, your probably right swifty, its all a bit overcomplicated for me... If they did do it then they might get sumone who looked like the late river phoenix who played young (in the movie anyway) - Di Caprio springs to mind, but im not exactly a fan of his! Pauly Shore would be ok with me, as i have no idea who he is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotionMan Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 There has been a rumor that Chewie will make an apearance. I hope that Han does too. Dont take the EU stuff too serious. I mean the EU universe had all the prequel story told until Lucas made the movies and contridicted most of what what was written by the authors of the EU books. Thats why I think its not wise to mix EU with the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellFyre69 Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 yep, EU is a whole big different thing.. Although Sum EU books are pretty interesting, like the new jedi order, or the jedi academy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zindell Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Yes EU has to go through licensing but Lucas says it's like a parralel dimension. The movies are his dimension EU is the other. meaning he won't stick to the EU if he has something else in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mez1109 Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Why not? could kill Han father, maybe Han is his non clone son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blamer Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Well, since Lucas seems intent on tying up all the loose ends from the original trilogy, we'll probably see Han and/or Chewie in some way, shape or form. Han would have to be pretty young in Episode III, maybe Boba's age. If he does appear for more than a few seconds in Episode III, then there will probably be something stuck in to start off a vendetta between Han and Boba Fett. If Fett killed Han's dad or something, that would be incredibly tacky. Possibly Han might compete with Boba on a bounty hunt (i.e. to kill a Jedi or something), or they team up and one of them betrays the other, giving a motive for revenge. In any case, if Han does show up than expect Lucas to either ignore his "imperial officer" history from the books or rewrite it as he sees fit.

I mean, they'll be like 15 or 16, i doubt many people would hire them as bounty hunters I have no idea atall if Han or Chewie will be in ep 3......and i really can't think of how they would be put in there.....but only time will tell eh?

MotionMan Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 If they put in a scene like bobba and han going on a bounty hunt together holding hands.... they better put in Lando calrisian drinkin a 40oz colt 45 at a young age, pimping some Twi'lek hoes.

Blamer Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Well, I'm just trying to put out some ideas. I admit it would be pretty stupid if it follows the "two years after Episode II" rumor, but I guess I'm the only one around here who doesn't take that as 100% gospel. And anyway, if we want to preserve the continuity we can't have any OT characters meet Boba Fett until after ANH, otherwise we would be contradicting the Star Wars Holiday Special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD-LeyAmas Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 I remember reading somewhere that the backstory on Han was that he was an Imperial commander (not very high up in the ranks, though), until he grew a conscience and freed Chewie, who was captured (either for slavery or execution, I don't know), thus turning him into a fugitive (Harrison Ford... fugitive... hmm) from the Empire. Anyone shed any light on this, one way or the other??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET Warrior Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 The Han saves chewie is from the han solo trilogy (EU) Originally posted by wildheart73 yeah,lets c solo in episode 3 let him rescue chewie,win the falcon off lando,drop jabba's load on the smugglers run etc If we do that we're going to have a movie all about Han Solo, instead of Jedi and stuff..........if they have Han or Chewie i hope it's only a minor role like owen and beru played in ep 2....... And even if Ep 3 is 7 years after ep 2, Boba is only 10 in ep 2, that makes him 17, still quite young to be a good bounty hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RectalFury Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 It cannot be absolutely proven that Han Solo was an imperial, but it is almost canon. First of all, look at his pants. They are imperial officer pants. In fact, the color of the stripe means some or another rank, I can't remember. Also he makes references to having trouble with the empire before, although this could be just because he is a smuggler. But the reason he gets so spooked and drops his cargo at first site of a star destroyer could be because he is afraid of getting caught because they already have a record on him. Also, how would he know how to evade the detection by the Star Destroyer in ESB when he attaches to it and then hides in the trash? With regards to Chewie, he must have saved him from someone because Chewie has a life debt to him, that is in the novelisation I think. Chances are it was the Empire.

Jedi_Monk Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 1) Han's pants look absolutely nothing like Imperial officer pants. Imperial officers wear either olive drab, Nazi officer cut, or black pants, no stripe on either. Han wears navy-blue pants with bloodstripes. 2) He's a smuggler, working on the wrong side of the law--and the law is the Empire. Yeah, I'll bet he's had trouble with the Empire before. 3) Who wouldn't be scared ****eless if an Imperial Star Destroyer was bearing down on their little ship? The Imperials aren't exactly known for being nice guys. And I'll bet he did have a record with them--just not as a member of the Imperial Navy. 4) If you're familiar with the specs of a certain ship, you can find its blindspot. You wouldn't have to serve on that kind of ship. 5) Does it even say Chewie has a lifedebt to Han in the movies? None of the books are canon... the most contradicted book so far has been the Return of the Jedi novelization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
