8 of the best original Star Wars characters ranked from weakest to strongest

6. Han Solo

Alright, let's talk about Han Solo, our favorite wise-cracking, blaster-toting space cowboy. He's parked at number 6, and here's why: Han's the guy who brings a swaggering, devil-may-care attitude to the galaxy far, far away. He's not just any pilot - he's the hotshot behind the Millennium Falcon's wheel, making the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs (which, let's be real, is pretty impressive). Han's got this roguish charm, a quick draw with his blaster, and he's the kind of guy who shoots first (wink, wink). He's the Star Wars equivalent of that cool uncle with a muscle car and a closet full of stories about his wild youth.

But here's the kicker - Han's... just a regular dude. No Force tricks up his sleeve, no Jedi mind powers. He's all about that "shoot first, ask questions later" life. While the top three on our list are swinging lightsabers and doing mind-bending Force stuff, Han's out here relying on good old-fashioned guts and guns. And you know what? That's what makes him so relatable and endearing. He's a reminder that in a galaxy full of mystical space wizards and laser sword fights, a little bit of wit, a blaster at your side, and a trusty ship can still get you a long way. Han Solo is not just a hero, but a legend in his own right, without needing any of that fancy Force business.
