Han Solo (/ˈhɑːn ˈsoʊloʊ/) is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas. He first appeared in the 1977 film Star Wars, portrayed by Harrison Ford, who reprised the role in The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). Ford returned to the role for The Force Awakens (2015). In the standalone film Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), a younger version of the character is portrayed by Alden Ehrenreich. In the animated series Forces of Destiny (2017–2018), the character is voiced by Kiff VandenHeuvel and A.J. LoCascio.

In the original trilogy, Solo and his 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. Although initially unwilling to join the Rebel Alliance in its struggle against the Galactic Empire, Solo eventually does so and in the process falls in love with Princess Leia. In the sequel trilogy set decades later, Solo joins forces with Leia, the scavenger Rey and the former stormtrooper Finn in their fight against the First Order. Solo and Leia's son, Ben Solo, is a leader in the First Order and eventually kills his father.

Since his debut, Han Solo has remained one of the most famous characters in the Star Wars series. In addition to the character being hailed as one of cinema's greatest heroes, Harrison Ford's performances in the franchise have received significant acclaim from critics and fans. Alden Ehrenreich's performance in Solo was also well received.
