I think fans romanticize Han Solo...I also knew I'd get this convo from at least one "Han Fan."

I absolutely agree fans romanticize Han Solo, and they project a lot of the usual traits the archetype has (like being a womanizer) onto him that are actually absent. That's exactly my problem with characters like Quill, Quill is EXACTLY the type of character male fans think Han Solo is, when he isn't.

I'm actually much more of a Luke fan, but my opinion towards Solo softened a lot after reading some excellent analysis of how the character subverts much of the archetype it represents (and how a lot of fans completely miss that).
