Birth[]

need to fix D.O.B. considering this is Han's first father figure and is listed as being born 20 years AFTER Han.—Unsigned comment by72.174.25.208 (talk • contribs).

Shrike and Thrackan - missing info[]

As I recall inParadise Snare, Han has flashbacks to the time when he evaded Shrike and went to discover his family, ending up finding Thrackan Sal-Solo. After those two get along so famously and stick knives to each other's throats etc, Han gets locked in a cupboard or something by Thrackan, who then contacts Shrike somehow and notifies him. Shrike then comes and picks up Han.

I don't have access to my copy otherwise I'd give page numbers etc, but I think there needs to be an update, unless the "As a child, Solo attempted to run away several times, leading to intense beatings" line is the reference to this occasion; even then, I think this needs expanding upon.

Uniform[]

For someone who despised the Imperials (quoting them as "all a bunch of losers"), I find it odd to say the least, that Shrike patterned his uniform after a Moff...Why not after another military?Korsa3 02:01, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

"festooned with elaborateimitation decorations" Nothing said they were fake. The book merely mentions the decorations being picked up in pawn shops, so the authenticity is unknown. If no one objects, I'd like to remove the word there.Korsa3 14:03, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

• The book puts "medals" and "decorations" in quotes. As in, they're not actual medals or decorations.Havac 21:08, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

It could mean that, I do see your point. Although it may also imply simply that he didn't earn them or that they aren't being used properly. I don't think the book was straight forward enough with it for us to use imatation as a desciption. For all we know they could be real, in a blackmarket. Perhaps putting medals and decorations in quotes as did the book, would be more appropriate.Korsa3 05:38, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

• If it meant to imply that he didn't earn them, the fact that he bought them in pawn shops does that. There's nothing about putting "medals" in quotes that implies he didn't earn them. Saying "he 'earned' them" would imply he didn't earn them. Putting "medals" in quotes signifies that they are only purported to be medals, but aren't really. There's no reason to put the words in sarcasm quotes unless they're not real, and being not real is the only thing the sarcasm quotes can logically be denoting.Havac 09:43, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Suggest a Re-wording[]

"Shrike determined that the locker had been broken into and immediately suspected Solo"Technically, he didn't immediately suspect Solo. He thought the power flux was, to quote him, "something else" involving a thief that had got onboard. He only suspected Solo (to no surprise) AFTER Larrad read the stats from the bioscanner.Korsa3 03:16, November 24, 2010 (UTC)
