- Han Solo always walked his own path, this made him dangerous and unpredictable aka a model citizen in the Star Wars Galaxy.

Han(Harrison Ford only) is my favorite character when it comes to humor
It's a shame that the actor portraying Han Solo didn't really like his character.
Harrison Ford*
It was a pay cheque!
Some people are just ingrates
Also because he succeeded in a LOT of other movies, he successfully avoided to be"typecasted".
Ford has never invested in any role that he's played, and treats anyone who does invent into the make believe as beneath contempt.
He is not an actor. He is private man who unless he is getting paid or laid, wants you to frick off
0:06 Finally someone else likes Han Solo
I’ve loved Han since I firsted watched the original trilogy
Meanwhile Harrison Ford: "Han is dead - yay"
💀
I thought Han Solo was just about the most liked character in Star Wars?
What Han Solo taught us: Write your own stories.
According to Generation Films (a subsidiary of Generation Tech), "Life is a movie, and you are the protagonist."
Also to always shoot first
One thing I want to point out regarding Han Solo shooting first back in Mos Eisley is that Greedo threatened and took him hostage at gunpoint and announced his intent to kill Han despite being under orders from Jabba to bring in Han alive.
So if you do a more thorough analysis in regards to Han shooting Greedo first, the former was technically in the right for killing the other in self-defense because he felt his life was being threatened so in the end it was more or less justified for the iconic smuggler to act first.
And he needed to live for three more movies
He felt his life was threatened? There is a reason Han didn't want to answer to Jabba directly for his failure, either Jabba gave him another chance or fed him to the rancor, and Han simply didn't like them odds.
Greedo most likely could have gotten away with bringing Han's carcass to Jabba and be like "I know you wanted him alive Jabba but he came right at me!!"
Damn, that last line, that was pretty powerful, going to have to think that one out.
Our pack mentality is at once, both our greatest strength and weakness.
But mainly our greatest strength.
Never be like Han when you go to school though. He always shoots first
Yeah, always shoot first.
The blue shell of Star Wars.
Han Solo is embodiment of Chaotic Neutral character
While there is much to admire Han Solo for, not everyone can be like him and survive or even succeed. Some people need to be part of an organization in order to survive, if not succeed. Sometimes we need to be a mix of the Star Wars characters, as well as Star Trek, Harry Potter, Bible characters, and many more.
Say what you want about Governor Tarkin, but he solved unemployment, homelessness, and child hunger on Alderaan in a single day.
Too soon 😢
We had Occam's razor, now we have Tarkin's laser.
Make Alderaan Great Agaain
🤣🤣🤣🤣
And violent crime, too!
I did see the very first Star Wars movie as a new release in a theatre, I was a casual fan. Well, until I had children, and the Prequels came along. Watching these with my then young sons I became a more invested fan, I did not, however, really appreciate Hans Solo, even in the EU until now. Excellent presentation, thank-you.
@ I have always felt that we were blessed as a family, thank-you.
We all need to be more like Boba Fett, honorable, badass armor, disciplined, not afraid to talk back to Vader, and control all crime syndicates in the galaxy.
I think this mindset is why a lot of fans gravitate toward the Mandalorian faction and their ideologies seen in Legends, like the True Mandalorian Supercommandos, for example. Are they a bunch of lunatic space-vikings who spent the better part of several thousands of years fighting to conquer the galaxy? Sure. But they're also a people driven by a sense of found family, loyalty to those who deserve it and honor in each decision. They are self-reliant and take the side of no one, only making alliances with those that can maintain a mutual sense of respect.
yessir
At least until a mandalore pops up and decides to go crusading. Then things start getting horrible and genocidal and dishonorable and sacrifice family for the Mandalore's ambitions. Otherwise they're wonderful and horrible and simple and complex as any other person.
@ Resol'nare Action 6: Obey the Mandalore. Mandalore's orders are absolute. If Mandalore orders you to torch that hospital, you torch that hospital or your entire clan is dishonored.
@@Scriptedviolince lmao obviously you've never read Republic Commando
@ republic Commando. Yes. Very good. Lots of honorable stuff in there. That doesn't change the fact that the Resol'nare, the foundational principles of the Mandalorian culture literally say "Obey the Mandalore" flat out, and most mandalores with only a few notable exceptions have been terrible terrible people.
"Evil will win if a good man dose nothing" or what he is told
If a good man dose nothing, he will be undrugged. If a good man *does* nothing, evil will win.
Love your channel, love your content . Han Solo is also my favorite for much of the same reasons you gave in this video. He's not a believer nor is he a super gifted individual; he's more of a free spirit. When he realized the Force does exists, he still refuses to bow down to it and tried to live by his own rules (even in Legends, where his future was far better, he still distinguished himself by this characteristic). A guy who despite his apparent selfishness, is the one friend whom you can count on even if he doesn't agree with everything you believe. Most of us also view the world in shades of grey like Han Solo and aren't blind followers.
Han Solo is also my favourite. Because of his redemption. That's why I am changing everything I can to become a better person and find my true purpose in life
The argument you made is very interesting. There was this one ripping good post I read somewhere arguing the case that Han was the most moral character of the franchise, laying out the argument that he chose what he did out of Neutral/Chaotic Good principles (right for right's sake), as compared with the Jedi who chose good because of a Lawful Good impersonal duty. And...well, he didn't HAVE to look at a Wookiee in chains and go "Yup. This is wrong" and end up with Chewie. He didn't HAVE to double cross Crimson Dawn or start shit on Kessel. But he did...because he's Han and this was just not a situation Han was going to tolerate. He didn't HAVE to go back to the battle of Yavin to help Luke, bur he did because he chose to help Luke. It wasn't for the rebellion or the Light Side or some grand ideology. It's because these people needed help the same way Chewie needed help and from the same people that had put his big, shaggy buddy in chains. He stays on because he's come to be loyal to Luke and Leia, not necessarily the Rebellion itself. Subfreezing weather on Hoth? Yup, he's riding out there because his future brother in law's in trouble and he's got to make an effort to save the kid.
When it comes to the whole idea Lucas was trying to promote about attachment and letting go? Well, he doesn't take the Jedi route and treat ALL loving connection as dangerous attachment (side-eying your ass, Yoda) or the Anakin route of going nuts because he fears losing people, but he does know when to take the hit and go into carbonite, telling Chewie to look after Leia and to not go apeshit on the Imperials. He's completely besotten with Leia, but is okay with letting her go if needed (ROTJ), but that's not an issue because...well, that's not a romantic rival, that's his future brother in law. He was also quite forgiving towards Lando because he understood his pal got caught between Needs of the Many and Needs of the Few (which is a very Jedi mentality for someone who isn't swinging a saber)
Rolling Mouse Wars? Okay, he and Leia hit the skids. Too bad there, but he was the first guy to give Finn and Rey some help, even taking Rey under his wing and trying to be a good influence...well, as good as Han can be. He also was willing to (and did) sacrifice his life to try and turn his kid back to the Light. And weirdly enough, it's telling that he's the only known non-Force wielder to go all ghostlike. (There's other essays for the FS!Han theory). It's not like Obi Wan or Yoda were going to show up and try and talk down Vader, but here's Han "hold my beer" Solo absolutely forgetting he's not supposed to be able to do these kinds of things.
And rolling Legends? Yeah, I'm willing to bet he played a VERY large part in why Legends!Luke wasn't letting the whole Master Jedi status go to his head the way Sequel!Luke did. Because all Han would have to say is "tauntaun guts" to get Luke's nose out of the air about what a bigshot Jedi he was. Plus playing a big role in why the NJO was looser with marriages, familes, friendships, and just having a life outside the cloistered temple because...well, try and tell Han "hold my beer" Solo "You can't marry my sister because she's Force Sensitive." If Han didn't reply with "Get lost, farmboy," then Leia would have said much, much worse. And last we hear of him in Legends, he grieved hard for Chewie and his lost sons, but was proud of his daughter and raising his little granddaughter with Leia as they rode off into their golden years, but hardly retirement...
6:40 "The Death Star is an evil world killing machine, the rebellion says...."
Empire: "Thank you! Finally, someone calling out the rebel propaganda. The Death Star was a heroic peace keeping station, bringing security and happiness to the galaxy!"
"Alderaan was just a mining accident."
"Galen Erso was hired to develop a more efficient power generation system that could bring affordable electricity to impoverished planets."
"The Clone Wars were not planned."
How many more lies have I been told by the Council?
I like legends Han more than Disney Han.
In which parts is the Legenda Hab better (e.g.)? I never read those books and Comics and whatever but would love to know. Cause i never really liked the Sequels at what they did to all our beloved characters
@@some-du1kc In Legends Han became a successful person, an important member of the New Republic gvt and of the military, contray to the awful sequels, where he returned to a shabby smuggler's life.
@@alessiodecarolis ah yeah true. Nearly forgot his Sequel Version 😂😢
Thats like saying you like bologna sandwiches as opposed to untreated sewage.
@@some-du1kc Find and read the Han Solo Trilogy by A. C. Crispin. The Paradise Snare, The Hutt Gambit, and Rebel Dream. They're still my favorite books, inside and just of Star Wars, I've ever read. It's basically Han's origins written back in 1997, and much of the Solo movie took a lot of snippets and cues from the books. I loved Solo, I just wish it hadn't been done under the situation it was. It would have been much better given as a Disney+ show, I think.
Very well said. Han has always been my favorite character since I was a kid, and I don't think that I fully realized why until I saw this video.
This is a amazing video, your conclusion at end is the greatest part. Well said my friend.
Thank you for all your time & research 🤜🤛🇬🇧
Hi i am a Big Fan
Thank you for bringing my Love for Star Wars back
Your Videos are always great
Love the videos. Keep up the good work.
This guy is a legend. Great video, thank you very much.
I tune in for the geeky knowledge and the wry sense of humor and every once in awhile get a thoughtful moral. Good work Allen!
This is what the prequel trilogy and sequel trilogy lacked: A han solo character. You can only have so much politics and jedi and force talk before the Star Wars Galaxy begins to feel one note. Thats why Mandalorian is so great. It deals with the whole world of Star Wars, and not just a handful of ideas.
Well to be fair about the prequels, the Jedi and politics and Sith and all that was the main focus, a Han Solo type character would've felt extremely out of place.
wasn't that Finn?
@@goodmind4940 Fin and Poe somewhat.
Did you really put the prequels in the same category as the sequels?? the prequels are actually decent
Really like your introspective vids dude.
Jesus Allen! You went deep on this video man. I REALLY enjoyed it and like your depth and views not only about Star Wars, but also with our history with humanity as a whole.
well said Allen enjoyed the vid looking forward to the next one
Love these counter takes.
So refreshing.
Awsome content 🥂👍
Introverts take a while to think things out before deciding anything. That is why I think Han was one.
Nice vid as usual, Alan
Good stuff as usual, thanks!!
Great video!
What you said was deep bro it rung a bell 🔔 I love your videos
Han is a well developed character
This was a pretty 🤩 good video Allan
The message of this video should be spread throughout the entire world.
Luke's Jedi Order focused on light and dark side because Luke did think for himself and found the faults in the Jedi Order Pre-Order 66. The rest of the video was intriguing
Awesome work Allen!
Love the Pikachu hat Alan
Well said!
If Darth Maul survived, so could Solo! :)
Maul was merely cut in half just above the waist. Han Solo had his heart cooked by a five thousand degree plasma blade.
@@pizzedahff3127 Han also was NOT a force user!
@@DMSProduktions But the force used him...
@@charlesray9674 In Russia...
@@pizzedahff3127 But it missed the heart :)
Awesome video
Han Solo doesn't give a dam. He says what he has to say. Demeanor, and body language. Smooth
The five most important things I learned from Star Wars:
5: Liberty dies with thunderous applause
4: Do or do not; there is no try
3: All rebellions have members that are ethically questionable, at best.
2: The Force is greater than any planet-destroying weapon.
1: 'Don't follow leaders, and plug parking meters.'
"3: All rebellions have members that are ethically questionable, at best."
Not just rebellions. All organizations over a certain size are this way. Any conflict is going to have people fighting for both sides who are morally/ethically questionable. The best of these know at their heart that when the dust settles there will be no place for them in the "new better world" they are fighting for.
@@timmorris8932 agreed.
@@timmorris8932 Agreed.
He’s the best damn smuggler I know in all of Star Wars 👍
That was fantastic, Alan. You should be a philosophy professor.
You know I would just troll students non stop and refuse to wear pants it wouldn’t work
@@GenerationTech can’t see what’s wrong about u doin that. Just make the school introduce Ewok meat in the menu
@@GenerationTech To some philosophers, pants are an unnatural burden that society places on us, to prevent us from displaying the most treasured and sacred parts of our bodies.
Amazing
Please make a video where the galactic republic with the jedi attack earth
More dead beat dads? no thank you.
I'll take EU Han even with all his flaws.
Good work nice vids
You take that tree down Alan! It isn't December yet!
Yep. He stands for himself.
This is a fantastic essay Alan...I wish I could show this video to Harrison Ford back in 2013/2014 when he was complaining about how bland the character is.
Han Solo was anything but bland!
Why we should ALL be more like HAN SOLO??? I saw Star Wars in 1977( I was 11) that said and as a kid I wanted to be him. Why??? Because he was so KOOL! Luke may have been the hero,but Solo. He was the dude who had your back. And the clothes... Who wants to look like a dirt farmer in their P.J.(sorry Luke). Solo look was kool and the pants had to be military issue. So you knew had been in the military at some point. To me he was the next Kirk(all so KOOL!). Like the Vid!!
Ty
Self reliance and independence are great traits. Too bad governments around the world prefer you to be dependent so they can maintain and grow their power.
Thanks buddy
What an original philosophy
Actually, bad governments and actors don't provide for the populace and instead gain power by setting groups against each other. Even against their own interests.
@@OllamhDrab oh good: another edgy, original philosophy
Hello friends welcome back to another episode of Generation Tech my name is Allen * cheeky little smile
Yes
Nice video. So it makes Han Solo a grey character as much as Boba Fett. They do what serve themselves for the moment.
Oi.......we should give D.J. some credit, his name is literally an acronym of don't join. Hope to see more of him.
How about more kenobi?
In debt to a murderous loan shark.
I've always loved Han Solo. ^_^ All of these points are spot on to who he is, and why I love him. And why I am of the few who LOVED "Solo." It's up there with my favorite star wars movies. For me, it's ROTJ, SOLO, Rogue One.
...
When creating my space rogue, I wanted all my favorites wrapped up one character, so I created a man who's a mix if Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Eugene Fitzherbert, (even Rapunzel in a tiny way) and Luke Skywalker (also in a way).
Captain Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly owes a lot to Han Solo too.
All he asks is a fast ship and a star to steer her by. - Apologies to John Masefield
Amen brother. Do or do not. There is no try. Han is the ultimate example of this.
Just thought of an interesting what if. Luke had wanted to join the imperial academy but his uncle didn't let him. What if Luke was able to attend the imperial academy
This would be an interesting question for Cody over at "Alternate History Hub". He has a new channel for the non-History stuff. Wonder if he'd take up the challenge.
Naturally he would have left because its depravity and corruption.
Not necessarily. If word got out that a young hot shot pilot at the academy was claiming to be the son of the famed hero of the clone wars Anakin Skywalker, the empire would probably raise him to a celebrity status. The emperor had originally set it up so that Anakin would be viewed as Palpatine's rescuer when the Jedi tried to assassinate him. Not to mention I'm sure both Palpatine and Vader would take a personal interest in Luke. Again it's an interesting idea.
@@Randy-yf2sv point of order, Luke didn't know his dad's name. At least I don't believe it's ever mentioned that he did. He didn't even know that his dad was a pilot.
@@timmorris8932 No. Obi-Wan told him, "He was the best star pilot in the galaxy and a cunning warrior...And he was a good friend." And Luke did know that his father was damn best navigator for a space freighter.
Yeah, I agree. I am awesome.
Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg and Harry Lime can explain the way things work from a certain point of view.
Nice
Scrappy underdog vibes lmao
can you plz continue the sepratstist alliance vs earth plz i will do this as long as this takes
I strive to be as good a marksman as Sev lol.
I like this. Video
That's dope because my favorite is mainly Vader but Chewbacca is 2nd favorite
If only Han Solo liked Han Solo
Hey man I really like your viewpoint. I know you usually say more flippant comments and your xenophobic schtick(which is funny and I like) but this episode had some well thought commentary. Nice work.
I think you're being too harsh. Before Palpatine, there was a thousand years of peace. That creates a ton of nonsense. The fact that it only took a century to deal with is a nice trade off. I agree with you that Leia was entitled and Luke was a leaf in the wind, but someone had to be there to clear the cobwebs from all those centuries of awesomeness.
A thousand years of peace based in no small part upon the abduction of very young children and their subsequent indoctrination into a religion. The Jedi did make the trains run on time though.
@@timmorris8932 Well yeah, there's that. But the Jedi didn't hold a galaxy together. Governments and economies did. Jedi were basially just a rapid response team against overpowered psychos. Then some idiot gave them an army.
@@drewjackson3858 But the Jedi were themselves idiots when it came to military strategy and leadership.
Same
han really is the way we should all be! not join one opinion but instead do what you think is right
I liked the movie, it was not perfect but it was enjoyable and would have like to see Han and Chewie grow form the Solo movie to New Hope, maybe even end the last movie with Han and Chewie walking in the bar looking for work.
You should make what if Luke joined the Imperial Navy.
Hey generation tech. I hope you bring up Narcos Pablo Escobar and why he is a badass statement amigo. It would be an amazing tale about why a person becomes a drug dealer and brings the monster in a low tier country and a powerful country at that.
also Talon Karrde
Basically be a spineless Leech and yo good
Well can Hun Solo take on dozens of Dark troopers I don’t think so
He would be smart enough to never put himself in that situation. Unless the reward was worth it...
👍
Sith or jedi who were right?
Can sith and jedi could work together?
The ancient Je'daii understood that a balance of both light and dark was necessary for the health of the individual and society. It was only when they split into the Jedi and Sith that problems started emerging. If those two sides could somehow get over their differences, the galaxy would be a much better place. (The Sith and Jedi are responsible for starting almost every major conflict in galactic history.)
Glory and honor to our great dolphin overlords
Ever noticed that you can't spell "finance" without "fin"? Yes, this is proof that the dolphins control all our banks and stock markets!
Solo may have TRIED to stand for nothing.. but considering how THAT went he was ALWAYS on a "taken" side to begin with. Or he'd NOT freed Chewie and while said was "leaving" hung back and provided fire support at the last second an became a war hero an general of the side he "swore" he wanted nothing to do with, he sure didn't turn it down.
Ah. No, I dont like his demise but what we know of him is what is needed.
Free traders for life!
The wisest thing GT has ever said is contained within this video.
