Han Solo

Han was born on the planet Corellia during the waning years of the Galactic Republic[19] around 32 BBY.[2] Sometime after he became famous, it would be rumored by an Snivvian bounty hunter that Han was actually a descendant of the Prince-Admiral Jonashe Solo, a member of the ancient Corellian royalty.[20] During his formative years, his father worked in the Corellian Engineering Corporation shipyards, building vessels such as YT-1300 light freighters until he was laid off. Solo’s father wished he could leave Corellia on such a ship, but was never able to afford to. According to Han, he was never close with his father.[8] At one point his father brought him to the freighter factory where he worked. His father pointed out that the ships being built there were his contributions to the galaxy, but that they ultimately didn’t matter. His father advised him that he wasn’t meant to build ships, but rather to fly them.[21] His father later abandoned him.[11] At some point he met the Ithorian Pjolan.
