chewbacca and han solo

When we are dealing with Han Solo there is kind of 4 persons that comes to mind. The first one is Luke Skywalker as their story is so strongly connected in the Star Wars story, and then there is Chewbacca or Chewie. Chewbacca – a Wookie – is Han Solo’s companion throughout the film series. Then there is the Millennium Falcon – even though it is not a person as such it is one of those things that is closest to Han Solo’s heart. Maybe there is only one person that comes closer to Han Solo’s heart and that is Princess Leia. Princess Leia and Han Solo is the theme for the next quotes!
