The fictional Solo Family includes some of the Star Wars franchises most well known and significant characters. They are first introduced with the appearance of Han Solo in A New Hope. Initially a morally ambiguous character Han is quickly established as one of the heroes of the film and goes on to be a major character in both The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as well as the Expanded Universe. He marries Princess Leia Organa in the book The Courtship of Princess Leia by Dave Wolverton and their three children go on to be major Expanded Universe characters in their own right, appearing as lead characters in several books and other media.

Famous quotes containing the words solo and/or family:
“All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
“Views of women, on one side, as inwardly directed toward home and family and notions of men, on the other, as outwardly striving toward fame and fortune have resounded throughout literature and in the texts of history, biology, and psychology until they seem uncontestable. Such dichotomous views defy the complexities of individuals and stifle the potential for people to reveal different dimensions of themselves in various settings.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
