Hon Solo, a smuggler, cares only about two things: Himself and money. When he is being introduced, it seems Hon is in some sort of debt to someone they called Jabba the Hut, and is approached by a bounty hunter. He makes quick work of this bounty hunter but knows more are looking for him. In a hurry, and desperate for money, Hon makes a deal with Obe-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker. He must escort them to a different planet but on their way to this planet they realize its missing. Then they discover what they think is a moon, but its turns out it's a dreaded enemy base called, "The Death Star." They know they are no match and try to turn back, but are sucked in. While on board they find out Princess Leia is on board. Hon, being himself, is only interested in money and want to stay put but Luke wants to rescue her. Luke reminds Hon about how much money she has, and that he would be greatly rewarded for his efforts. With this in mind Hon decides to go for it. When they discover the princess, they are being pursued by storm troopers. Princess Leia automatically declares herself the leader. It seems Hon doesn't like this but later on the ship Hon asks Luke, "What do you think about a girl like her and a guy like me?". Luke seems disgusted just by the idea. .
