Only reason he didn't save the universe is because, at the time, the universe only needed saving from the Empire.

Like any true hero, Han can only defeat the enemy before him.

And at least he defeats it. It's not like the Deathstar's coming back... again... only this time it can fly. πŸ™„

Dude. Time Lord.

It's not like he's a proper Lord though, is it?

Interesting to note that, in the original script, his title was supposed to be 'Tim Elord' (Tim, the electronic lord, I suppose) and his present-day status is purely the result of a subediting error in the copy room...

Lesson from history, that. And you can't argue with history cos history's dead.

Yeah, complain to miss now you know your hero's really called Tim... like that'll do any good.

But, dude, I feel for you. I remember how I felt when I badgered my grandparents into telling me that Santa doesn't exist.

It's gutting, but in the end you start to feel better. I can't sugar-coat the truth just because it's pretty.

The right way, I believe, is to build a silly looking blue box with a flashing nipple on top...

Han only took the job for money..he is a paid mercenary basically

That said he cant half detect a replicant even if he is not very good at killing them

By this time, Han's blasted spaceships, rescued princesses, stroked his wookie and made Bruce Willis look like Steve Carroll...

AND got kicked out of the imperial Navy to lead a life of a smuggler.

Unless your name is something incredibly dull like Tim Elord and you happen to have a TARDIS, then you can go back in time, whisper in a BBC subeditors ears and be reborn as the infinitely cooler TIME LORD.
History. Sorted.

The tardis is a living machine and bound to The Doctor in ways not explained. Quite why it has all those knobs is anyones guess: I guess it's how he likes to interact with it. The tardis takes the doctor where and when he needs to be rather than where he wants to be. It would be terrible smugglers ship. He makes havoc whereever he goes, mostly trying to deal with the unforeseen impact of his previous meddling. Quite why he "protects" Earth is also unclear but he needs human companions. It's a great sci fi concept where the central character is so mysterious. I love anti-heroes.

Back to the 'Kessel run in 12 Parsecs' issue; frankly, Han is just bullshitting because he just doesn't have a clue how fast the Falcon is, he just knows its quick and gets places fast. He basically saying, 'well yeah, it can do the Bristol-London run in 130 miles'; which is roughly what the run would be, 130 miles. Which would take, on a really good day, about 2-2ΒΌ hours. The fact he's using a distance measurement to indicate time taken means he's a clot, really.
The Dr could walk onto the Falcon, do a quick scan, hack the nav computer, steal half the cargo, before Han woke up to the fact there was an intruder on board. πŸ˜‰

Ok, if Han Solo's such a smart ass, how would he cope with these:

Stupid question #2: if it's sentient, why does the Doctor have to twist the knobs before he [doesn't go, but go] anywhere?

Foreplay.

Sorry to go back to a comment on the first page....

She may not look like much but she's got it where it counts.

I used to know a girl like that, before I was married

Through the course of my work over the last few months, I've come to know many of the things already mentioned but coincidentally, relative to this thread, I learned last week that the Tardis and the Millennium Falcon share a telling feature.

What was a clever concept - bigger on the inside - a design to amaze viewers with the Tardis was also an accidental feature of the Millennium Falcon (purely for aesthetic purposes - which I often think is reason enough for anything).

This wasn't much of a problem for anyone until (and I'm sure a few of you will be pretty excited about this) ...someone decided to build a full scale replica. Apparently, structurally it's quite incoherent.

Incidentally, I've just stumbled across this. Seems there were four female fighter pilots in Return of the Jedi; all were cut from the film's final release.

its the ultimate metaphor for true science isn't it. you get caught up with staring at the really interesting box, but its what is [i]outside[/i] the box that is the important bit. how and why are good questions but its the 'what can we do with it?' that is the important bit

How would Han deal with this?

He'd shoot first, like any bad-ass smuggler would (before the director's cut)
