The Complete Legend of Han Solo 

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

Han's Legend Story is amazing :D

You missed the "Death Troopers" book

Nice Video :)

Man legends is so much cooler than the new canon right now

What about the part when Han and Chewbacca enter the star destroyer in the book called Death Trooper.

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

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.

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

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.

Great summary Alex

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

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

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

This was FAR more interesting than the movie

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.

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

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

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

The best star wars charecter

Legends will allways be canon

Legends Forever!!

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

2:30 Han shot first

Yep, Legends is still better than canon.

Legends should of been in the movies

I bet the legends story is better than the new one

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

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.

Was his granddaughter force sensitive?????

thank you for including the holiday special.

I always felt kind of bad for the actual actors with the old EU illustrations. The 50 something versions of Luke, Han, and Leia look NOTHING like the 50 something Mark, Carrie, and Harrison.

Did you do 501st yet? They're my favorite clones(besides maybe duncan idaho or superboy)

And this why I prefer the Legends material over the new Canon anyday because at least with Legends it gives us more deeper routed stories than the useless political agenda nonsense in Disney's new Canon.

Definitely prefer legends over the new canon

Much better! I don't understand how anyone can say there isn't much difference between legends and the sequel trilogy. There is still drama and tragedy in Han's family...at least his own son doesn't kill him, his daughter grows up to be a successful Jedi, and Han and Leia take care of their granddaughter. Though legends may not have provided every rift between the family, the overall storyline fits Han and Leia's character arcs much better, and how their lives probably would have played out. Han's life full of adventure as a loving father and husband, with screw ups and successes.👍It's awful his son J still turned to the darkside...In this world I also think he should have turned to the light and lived😁

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

I can't forgive Disney for making a majority of this noncanon

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

I don’t know why there are not more videos on Han, Chewbacca, C3PO and R2...There is no comparison on how Legends Solo story as compared to Cannon. Legends is so much better in every way it’s not funny. Take note Disney.

I stay with the canon one. Reasons. I love the comic crimson reign. And a few others things. But yeah legends is still gold. Anyway

This should have been canon and the movie. KK f'ed up!

Good video today master jedi.

6:14 you know you’re on top when you start getting chased by DARTH VADER

the ending is perfect and what we should have got instead of the sequels, the golden trio doing their thing

0:46 he also probably had enough of pulling mile long wookie hairs out of his food.

Solo was trash. The 3 Han solo books where some of the best lore ever… The movie was a insult

Not sure if this is what you meant but what about Han’s other descendants like Ania Solo?

I love that we'll be getting the Cloud Riders in Solo

You left out that time Han and Chewie survived a hoard of zombies on board a star destroyer. Shame!

Chewbacca should get his own movie

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

But now that KK is in charge of Lucasfilm we get a great old west train robbery, a lack luster Han who's last name was given to him by a nondescript Officer, and a Man that is willing to stick it in any orifice with a heartbeat or without. Yep all is well here; subverting expectations by leaps and bounds. What's not to like? Meanwhile my daughter has asked to watch Infinity Wars again because she's done with this... Go ahead and hate on me. I know this channel is full of blind loyalist. Fact is we are both allowed to have our opinions and other than calling you a loyalist (not really thinking that's an insult; but hey if you want to be insulted I'm guessing you'll find a way) but I'm sure my minority family and I will continue to be called "white" fat males that are "threatened" by "strong" womens and minorities.... edit: corrected "fool of blind loyalist" to "full of blind loyalist" Also added the definition of Loyalist since Hippymad1 just proved my point... loy·al·ist [ˈloiələst] NOUN - a person who remains loyal to the established ruler or government, especially in the face of a revolt. In this case substitute "government" with "Star Wars Franchise". See? It's not an insulting term unless you are confused about the meaning of the word loyalist...

75 years old, still kicking ass and taking names! :D Nice

Wow, had no idea Han was frozen in carbonite for year.

Legends is so much better than Disney cannon ;)

I wonder why Kasdan said that he never read the EU stories but still it seems like many of them are implemented into SOLO - why is that?

This is the Canon story!

Even though this is all Legends except for the movies i feel like the whole Bounty Hunter thing should have been Canon since he is mentioned in Empire strikes back

Way better than the movie.

No Dengar, no like.

Thracken Sal and Han had a contentious relationship too

Han shot first

This is the true origins. The movie has no accuracy to his origins.

What novels do you recommend post Return of the Jedi? I read the Thrawn trilogy when I was younger, same goes for the New Jedi Order books, but 19 books can get blurred over time. I still have to read the Killik trilogy as well as Jacen's "Downfall" Saga.

3 days!!! 😁😬 Who's Excited🤔

7:30 In the books Chewie gets killed…. 😳😳😥😨 Well, I guess you DO have to be willing to kill off a main character for a story so, it’s more realistic; rather than a fairytale story where everyone of importance lives and it’s all just rainbows and butterflies. But still… Wow, Chewie dies.. Just never would have guessed it… And George in the books gives Han and Leia 3 kids and kills off 2… Savage 😮 But it’s a George Lucas conclusion so- I love it 😍 lol

Han's legends story is sadder than his current canon one.

What about when he killed the last body of palpatine lmao

So I’m summary, they butchered an amazing tragic hero for cheap tricks and a payday. Good, glad that’s that

Can't believe they ACTUALLY made out his "real name" was "SOLO"

"They named a Star Destroyer with my dead son name? Kriffin roders !"

I dont really know why star wars ended up Han's character. I have to watch the movie first...

Who Sold Out Solo Over Spice?

Han Solo deserted in cannon after becoming an Imperial Army soldier. He was a disgrace in cannon.

the first part was all most just like the han Solo movie so I have no chose I give it a 7 in a haff

Han does have an incredible legends life.

The best character in the intire movies Il miss him in the movies Would be cool if he had a forceghost

I usually like your content but this video is definitely one of my favorites. Have you done a legends history of Luke and Leia like this?

I would love to see a video explaining if obi wan was holding back on anakin in revenge of the Sith during there duel or was he really trying. I mean obviously anakin was trying to kill obi wan he was trying as hard as he can but idk I just feel like obi wan may have been holding back a little as he still felt a strong connection and love for anakin. #starwarsexplained

All you need to now is “I’m Han Solo, Han Solo, Solo.”

I don’t know which timeline is better, though I do know that Corella was beautiful compared to what I saw in the movie.

Will you be doing a complete legend video for Leia?

Legend>canon

Dayym Harrison was good looking

I wish to know which novels you included in this vid. I just stepped into Star Wars franchise and I am particularly in love with Han's character, I want to read more story about him.

The year he's been carried by Boba

06,07,09 there you go.

Do Luke Skywalker!

Just saw Solo at a pre premier viewing and was pleasantly surprised.... its a fun film made for real fans

Legends Han Superior, Cannon Han Inferior!

You gave a very brief lip service to Brian Daley's Han Solo Trilogy stories. I would think they deserved a bit more fleshing out?

Always enjoyable. Love your videos. Like a cool teacher. Even though I love the material you make it pop. Thanks.

Han’s son is kylo ren

Good clip

Thanks for making this video...i appreciate this information in preparation for watching Solo this Friday 😁👍

0:59 "He tried to escape, but Garrus caught him" Dam Archangel >_> Also, 3:50 makes me want a Cowboy Bebop-style adventure series with Han and Chewie...

When you are 74 but still have the same hair color and thickness as when you were 20. Oh and a lack of wrinkles entirely.

What about Devil Han? Or when he fought a giant otter? These moments DEFINED HIM

nicely done i wonder if any of the "gaps" will be made into films? i feel so much smarter now & better for my Role thank you!!
