Writing & NarrativeWho is Han Solo in the Agency editorial?
Han Solo is the smuggler and pilot of the Star Wars films, always seen with his co-pilot Chewbacca. In the Agency editorial he appears once, in the short story of Issue.12, as one of the famous pairs the forest animals use to describe the turtle Mr. Godspeed and the ant Leafcutter.
In short
Han Solo is a character of the Star Wars films, the pilot who travels with Chewbacca. The Agency editorial names him once, in Issue.12, inside the short story The Nature's Masterpiece. When the two friends of the story stop by a pond, someone in the frog community announces that Han Solo and Hairless Chewbacca are passing by, "the charismatic spacefarer and his gentle giant ally". The same paragraph compares the pair to Batman and Robin and to Mario and Luigi. It is a comparison made in passing; the edition says nothing else about the character.

Who is Han Solo?
Han Solo is one of the main characters of the Star Wars films created by George Lucas: a smuggler and pilot who travels with the tall, furry Chewbacca as his co-pilot. This identification comes from outside the editions and is limited to what is widely known.
How does Issue.12 use Han Solo?
Issue.12, about semiotics, contains a short story about two friends who cross the Amazon rainforest: the turtle Mr. Godspeed and the ant Leafcutter, who rides on top of his head. The other animals name them after famous pairs. The beetles see Batman and Robin, the fungi see Mario and Luigi, and the frogs see Han Solo and a hairless Chewbacca. The name is there as a symbol that readers already know, and the edition does not return to it.
