Han Solo
So... They've finally done it. Confirmed what he had feared. There won't be one Han in different guises, we now have ST Han and Han Han. So can we expect Pilot Luke, Bespin Luke, Jedi Knight Luke ...

Would you be okay with Han being renamed to Random SW Character #5536 That Only Hardcore Fans Know? Does that seem like a character you want to invest in?
Of course, then you have the opposite end of the player spectrum from you complaining about how #5536 would never really being able to hold up in a fight against a Jedi (see any GS thread).
So yes, I am fine with two Han Solos vs the alternatives: Characters no one but the faithful know or generic characters. This is why many of us choose this game over the alternatives: To play STHan and Scoundrel Han and Old Ben and Young Obi and Princess Leia and Hoth Leia and all the other versions of the same person we know from the movies.
This. Honestly i'd rather play with 2+ Hans/Lukes/Leias/Chewies than a bunch of random toons i don't care about. The other guys have their place in a Star wars game for sure and make for nice variety, but i don't think back to my childhood and remember with great fondness that time that one coruscant security dude did that really cool thing. I remember Han Solo though. And as role playing games go, there probably isn't anyone cooler to want to be IMO. I'm new to the game and been going after GS for example because everyone says he's great. But i really don't have any desire to use the stupid bug. He might be good, but he does nothing for me as a SW fan. Take those same GS stats/abilities whatever that makes him good and slap them on a cool character that I care about and I'd get excited.
