Examples of han in a Sentence

1. Margaret Atwood:

   It’s not an original thought. People had that thought at the time, japanese pilots during WWII, same idea. There are very few absolutely new ideas. The difference with ‘Star Wars’ is because it was a film, Han Solo gets to fly away. He doesn’t blow up his own plane. He just blows up the Death Star.

2. Kathleen Kennedy:

   What [ Ford ] did so beautifully for Alden was he talked a lot about what he remembered when he first read' Star Wars,' and what George had done with Han. Who the character was and the conversations he had for so many years with George about how that character developed, he gave Alden that kind of insight which was invaluable. There were several times in the course of making the movie where Alden would actually recount some of the things that Harrison Ford had pointed out. I think that was really, really helpful to him.

3. Ryan Britt:

   I think a lot of heterosexual men learned how to flirt from Han Solo and Indiana Jones. But men like me grew up and realized you can't act like Han Solo. Han Solo is kind of a jerk.

4. Sarah Woloski:

   Han Solo is my favorite character in 'Star Wars' and Harrison Ford is a big part of that.

5. George Lucas:

   Han Solo was going to marry Leia, and you look back and say, 'Should he be a cold-blooded killer?' because I was thinking mythologically -- should he be a cowboy, should he be John Wayne? And I said, 'Yeah, he should be John Wayne.' And when you're John Wayne, you don't shoot people (first) -- you let them have the first shot. It's a mythological reality that we hope our society pays attention to.
