Loyalty and Duty: The Bond Between a Scoundrel and a Princess

In a guest blog over at the exquisitely blended Coffee With Kenobi writer Mike DeRose looks at the bond between Han Solo and Princess Leia.

Leia Organa and Han Solo should not work as a couple. Leia, the senator princess turned rebel who fights for the greater good and Han, the scoundrel smuggler who only cares about getting paid. Despite their differences it’s easy to see why they were drawn to each other. Leia had spent her entire life in politics surrounded by proper men or, let’s face it, probably just boring men. So when a rogue like Han comes along Leia would naturally be intrigued. But Han’s original interest in Leia was pretty straightforward. The princess was worth a pretty big reward.
