Always did love the Legends version of Han Solo. A bad upbringing turns upward as Han becomes a rebel and ultimately gets everything he wanted out of life, a wife, three wonderful children, a granddaughter, and many people who would have his back. Shame we didn't get more content after Crucible though. It would have been nice to see him pass so words of wisdom to Allana Solo and Ben Skywalker's children before he ultimately joined Chewbacca in the Netherworld of the Force.

So that is why Han named his daughter in legends Jaina, she's named after his mother

[Sulufy]

That's my Han Solo.

Han in the Legends continuity didn't just abandon his family and regress as a character only to be killed in a stupid way after achieving nothing. In the Legends continuity, at his core, he was always Han Solo but he also actually continued to grow and develop as a character, leader, husband and father.

I'm confused...at what point did he find the Ark of the Covenant?

[vickelibert]

You forgot to mention who shot emepor palpatine reborn in the final clone body that was hans biggest achivement in my eyes

[DefecTec]

This is so much better than the movie’s backstory for him

[TRLAuthor]

I'd forgotten half these stories. A real nice recap. Love to see one for Lando, too.

[jeffreyaguilar]

Being betrayed by the rebels sounds like a good reason why he wouldn’t want to join the fight.

[DarkraiNewmoon]

You left out his pre-ANH exploits in the novel Shadow Games.

Great video, I love these "The Legends of" videos. Looking forward to Solo.

[williamwallaceoftheus]

This was FAR more interesting than the movie

[battleupsaber]

When Chewie got smashed by the moon did Han say "That's no space station, that is a moon"?

Because he should have.

thank you for including the holiday special.

I think Jyn Erso was influenced by Bria Tharen. Of course she had no known contact with Han Solo, but Bria Theren was behind securing the Death Star plans and knew it was a one way mission, which we sacrificed herself in the end to evade imperial capture. The Hutts that ran Ylesia were Hutts of Clan Besadii, they were rivals of Clan Desilijic, which was Jabbas Clan. Shortly after their raid on Ylesia he met with Tharen again for a Hutt Sponcored treaser hunt for the Yavin Vassilika. It contained a key made from a Corusca gem. It was a key to one of the Massassi temples on Yavin 4. Tharen claimed the key and wanted Han to join her with the Rebels, but Han refused and lost friends along with Lando.

It's kind of hard to realize that his descendant is Roan Fel

The fact that you mentioned the events of the Holiday Special makes you the most legit SW channel on YouTube.

I still like the new canon but I now understand why a lot of EU fans were upset when Lucasfilm started over.

[robanator]

I like Han’s EU Backstory better then his canon one

[Jay]

This is awesome and He has been through a lot. Great video.

[lukerope]

Han, Luke, and Leia age unrealistically well in Legends 😁

[ultratankie]

I think Han's relationship with his cousin Thrackan Sal-Solo is an important one in this timeline.
