Character Role Analysis

Han Solo/Lando Calrissian

As former smugglers, Han and Lando share quite a bit in common—a love for the Millennium Falcon and the hots for Leia most importantly. While Han has remained an outlaw and joined the Rebel Alliance, however, Lando has become a respectable businessman and political leader. These differences—along with both men's choices over the course of the film—become an important part of The Empire Strikes Back's endgame.
