Han Solo Quotes

“Never imagined this,” Han had murmured, sitting up in their bed late at night, Ben’s tiny head resting in the crook of his father’s arm. “Having a kid. Even wanting a kid. But now he’s here, and—”
“And you’re a dad.” Leia had leaned closer, unable to resist the chance to tease her husband. “Just think, hotshot. Someday you might even be a granddad.”
Han’s chuckle had warmed her. “Speak for yourself, sweetheart. Me, I ain’t ever getting that old.”
― Claudia Gray, Bloodline

“Whatever the reason, first place was always Solo, always, always, always, and second place was usually Chewbacca, because if you weren't the one saving the galaxy, you might as well be eight feet tall and covered with hair.”
― Charles Yu, How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe

“The force is within you, force yourself.”
― Harrison Ford

“For a long minute he gazed at her, his eyes searching the features of that face he'd grown to love so deeply over the years, his memory bringing up images of the past as he did so. The young determination in her face as, in the middle of a blazing firefight, she'd grabbed Luke's blaster rifle away from him and shot them an escape route into the Death Star's detention-level garbage chute. The sound of her voice in the middle of deadly danger at Jabba's, helping him through the blindness and tremor and disorientation of hibernation sickness. The wiser, more mature determination visible through the pain in her eyes as, lying wounded outside the Endor bunker, she had nevertheless summoned the skill and control to coolly shoot two stormtroopers off Han's back.

And he remembered, too, the wrenching realization he'd had at that same time: that no matter how much he tried, he would never be able to totally protect her from the dangers and risks of the universe. Because no matter how much he might love her--no matter how much he might give of himself to her--she could never be content with that alone. Her vision extended beyond him, just as it extended beyond herself, to all the beings of the galaxy.

And to take that away from her, whether by force or even by persuasion, would be to diminish her soul. And to take away part of what he'd fallen in love with in the first place.”
― Timothy Zahn, Dark Force Rising

“He looked back at Lobot, and pointed at the screen, where Han Solo was once again risking Lando's ship, his precious, beautiful Millennium Falcon, for no reason he could figure.
"If I ever do anything like that...shoot me."
"No problem," Lobot said.”
― Elizabeth Schaefer, Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View

“I hate feeling like Han Solo in a world of Jedi. I'm supposed to be the Jedi. - Harry Dresden”
― Jim Butcher, Small Favor

“Chewbacca’s back home, looking for his family. Luke’s searching the galaxy for old Jedi teachings. Han Solo’s got nothing to smuggle, nowhere to gamble, no foolish Rebellion to fight for. He’s like the Falcon: retired to a hangar somewhere, waiting for something, anything, to happen.”
― Chuck Wendig, Empire's End

“Maybe I'm starting to think like Han. I don't feel quite right about this situation. I'm more nervous than usual.'

Han eyed Chewie, who whuffled softly. Yeah, maybe she was picking up a sense of self-preservation. Skywalkers seemed to be born without it.”
― Kathy Tyers, Star Wars: The Truce at Bakura

― Donald F. Glut, Star Wars Episode #05: Empire Strikes Back Novelization [Paperback] [Sep 25, 2014] Donald F. Glut,George Lucas

“when the rules don't work, you break 'em.”

“Star Wars was good. I liked Han Solo."
"That makes sense. He's the nexus of true cowboy grit and a cocky, irreverent action hero--- flawed, ambitious, egotistical, daring, handsome, and charismatic. I always liked his swagger."
"What's swagger?" he asked.
"The combination of confidence and charm."
"Does he remind you of anyone?" He leaned back against a tree, pulling me with him. I could feel his tension ease, so I relaxed, sinking against his broad chest. "No," I said, my lips quivering with a smile. "No one at all."
"Hummph." He gave a snort of derision. "Are you sure? Maybe you should rethink your answer."
"If you're looking for a boost to your massive ego, I think you're more of a Star-Lord type. He's in the inverse of Han Solo. Cocky yet oblivious, womanizing, facetious, conceited, charming but arrogant."
He bristled behind me, his voice thick with indignation. "Conceited? Facetious? You obviously know nothing about me."
"That's true. I haven't even had a good look at your face."
"You'd change your mind if you knew me," he said. "You'd instantly think Han Solo and not Star-Lord."
"I look forward to being proven wrong.”
― Sara Desai, To Have and to Heist

― Claudia Gray, Bloodline

“Willing. That one word said so much. Leia didn’t doubt Han’s love for her, but she also knew that he would always be a wanderer at heart. He would stay with her on Hosnian Prime for a year or more if she asked, but she would feel as if she’d clipped a bird’s wings.”
― Claudia Gray, Bloodline

“Space awaited, that impossible vastness, as empty as his heart, where he could be perfectly free.”
― Daniel José Older, Last Shot: A Han and Lando Novel

“Just because your whole world is a sultry caped strut along the galactic catwalk of life doesn’t mean the rest of us have to live in discomfort.”
