Han Solo (/ˈhɑːn ˈsl/) is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas. He is portrayed by Harrison Ford in his introductory appearance in the 1977 film Star Wars.[u] Ford reprises the role in the sequel films The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Return of the Jedi (1983), The Force Awakens (2015), and The Rise of Skywalker (2019). In Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), a younger version of the character is played by Alden Ehrenreich. In the animated web series Forces of Destiny (2017–2018), Solo is voiced by A.J. LoCascio and Kiff VandenHeuvel. Ford was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Solo in Star Wars, then won the award for his performance in The Force Awakens.[1]

In the original trilogy, Solo and his Wookiee friend Chewbacca are smugglers who are hired to transport Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker to Alderaan so they can deliver stolen plans for the Death Star. Solo eventually joins the Rebel Alliance in its struggle against the Galactic Empire, and falls in love with Princess Leia. In the sequel trilogy, Solo joins forces with Leia, the scavenger Rey and the former stormtrooper Finn in a campaign against the First Order. Solo's son, Kylo Ren, is a leader in the First Order and eventually kills his father.

Solo was chosen as the 14th greatest film hero by the American Film Institute, and was selected as the fourth greatest film character by Empire magazine.[2][3] Entertainment Weekly ranked Solo as the seventh coolest hero in popular culture.[4]
