Wait. Han Solo as an anti-hero? *Han Solo*?
I’ve come to the conclusion that they must have watched a different original trilogy than I did. The closest he came to anti-hero was ANH, and even then, he wasn’t very anti-ish. He wasn’t that morally blurred (though I suppose I can concede was blurrier than most people in the GFFA). He was selfish for a while, and in the end, he acknowledged Lucas’s moral values and came back to save Luke. From there, he only got squishier.
