In the context of the Original Trilogy, Han Solo’s character arc is fairly unique, instantly separating him from the automatically noble heroes that he encounters. Decades later, Disney bought the Star Wars license from George Lucas and began trying to replicate what made the franchise great.
While those efforts have yielded some high-budget flops like The Acolyte, it has also given us hit shows like The Mandalorian and Andor that are so appealing to audiences in part because the main characters reflect Solo’s original character arc of going from criminal to purpose-driven new hero.
Think about it: in The Mandalorian, Din Djarin seems like a fairly original character because we’ve never gotten such a deep dive into a Mandalorian, much less one who becomes daddy to an adorable baby Yoda.
But the chief arc of Djarin is that he goes from being someone only out for his own benefit to someone who finds a new purpose and becomes a hero to others. If you peek under this show’s cool helmet, you can see that this arc more or less perfectly matches Han Solo’s arc.
