Is there any science-fiction character more iconic than Han Solo, the renegade spacefarer, sarcastic smuggler, hero of the rebellion? Solo appears again in theaters this weekend in the prequel Solo: A Star Wars Story, in which audiences will return to the world of Solo — his faithful friend Chewbacca; his less faithful colleague Lando Calrissian; his spacecraft, the Millennium Falcon; and, of course, the droids.

I’m jumpin’ in my Falcon
Wookiee at my side
I’m Han SoloThese are, as we all know, the lyrics to “I’m Han Solo,” an infamous parody of Jason Derulo’s “Ridin’ Solo,” which featured in the video game Kinect Star Wars.
