Han Solo Is Literally The Worst, Here Let Me Prove It To You
Han Solo sucks, actually, and I can prove it.
Fans often describe Han Solo from the Star Wars saga as a lovable rogue, a scoundrel, a scallywag. But I’d like to take it a step further and show you why Han Solo is actually the friggin’ worst. From his selfishness to his spontaneous leaping into danger, Han Solo is terrible, a bad soldier, a bad smuggler and a bad friend. So grab a good blaster, kick back and come with us on a tour-de-force of Flyboy’s many faults. Because the truth is that Han Solo sucks, and I’m about to prove it so hard.Wears A Vest
Han’s signature clothing item is his black vest. He wears it in virtually any season, whether on a desert planet, a frozen wasteland, or a forest moon.
It’s not exactly practical as sleeves probably come in handy in space, and it definitely comes across as part of a carefully orchestrated effort to appear laid-back and casual on Han’s part. We’re not buying it, though.
Rips People Off

When Han meets Luke and Obi-Wan, he has no problem charging them an arm and a leg for transport off Tatooine. As Luke remarks, they could pretty much buy their own ship for what he’s asking.
Now we know Luke and Obi-Wan are more than they appear, but to Han they’re just a poor farmboy and a random old man. Han has no problem ripping them off, and we’re happy to call him out for it.
Hates On The Force
Despite the clear awesomeness of the Force, Han is a serious skeptic in the beginning. He dismisses it has some “hokey old religion” saying he far prefers having a blaster at his side.
When Luke demonstrates some skill in a reflex exercise, Han chalks it up to luck instead of reliance on the ever-present energy field. But eventually, the skeptic comes around and wishes Luke before battle, “May the Force be with you.” Talk about a Johnny-come-lately!
Tailed By Boba Fett
Han Solo constantly makes the mistake of thinking he knows more than everyone else. But in The Empire Strikes Back, he’s always one step behind the bounty hunter Boba Fett, who follows Han and his party throughout without their knowing it.
It’s not until Han has been caught and carbo-frozen that the bounty hunter reveals himself and his sinister motivations.
