Han Solo: Herder of Packed Bags

So, there’s this guy joining us. His name’s Han Solo and he used to be a well-known smuggler. (Kinda defeats the purpose, being well known when you’re a smuggler, but don’t get him started on that). He was also a General of the Rebellion and a large, wall-mounted piece of contemporary art before coming to Earth.

As it turns out, inhabitants of the galaxy far, far away are way smaller than the movies would have you believe. It’s an understandable decision to make them appear bigger, too. Knowing that Jabba the Hutt not only looks like a really ugly snail but is also barely the size of one… or that you could run over a Rancor without even feeling much of a bump… Well, it just wouldn’t do.

Anyway, this Solo character landed his beaten-up Millenium Falcon on the desk of one particular supervisor, and went on to do what he does best: know better. Now, this supervisor, being a really patient guy, put up with it for as long as he could stand. Then, he handed him over to a young family about to embark on an adventure. Although, hearing Han Solo tell the story, the adventure was all his idea, and won’t be much of an adventure, anyway, because what kind of an adventure can you possibly have on a planet without at least a Death Star hovering in its orbit?

Well, we didn’t have to pay for an extra ticket, so we don’t mind bringing Han along. (It must be nice, flying with more leg room than anyone in business class will ever have. And not even taking up a significant portion of my arm rest. I’m jealous.) We’ll take him to all the touristy spots and adventurous endeavors, so that’s what you can expect in the Han Solo Category: postcard snapshots with a well-known smuggler, remarkably similar in size to a LEGO figurine.
