Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Power Ranking Every Character

10. Han Solo

He might have always been the coolest figure in the Galaxy Far, Far Away, but thanks to his cynicism and lack of mystical powers, Solo was always one of the least powerful figures in the Star Wars cast. And that's precisely the point of him: in an environment in which magic and flashy swords rule, Solo let his battered old ship, space pirate sensibilities and trusty blaster do the loudest talking. He was entirely unexpected, and power would have been as alien a concept to him as stability. While he will have the latter in The Force Awakens - unless the rumours about a divorce from Leia are to be believed - power still wont' come as easily. And if anything, it seems a significant part of his armoury has been removed with the suggestion that he's somehow lost the Millennium Falcon. He will remain symbolically powerful, of course, as well as legitimately claiming to be the best shot in the universe, but even his physical tenacity will be compromised by the inevitable ravages of age, and the most pertinent theory might be that he changes the course of the narrative by dying at some point. That's powerful, but it's not power in the traditional sense.
