Monday Inspiration: “Be Like Han”

Han Solo vs. Darth Vader. One of the best scenes from the best film in the series.

This little bit of Han Solo-inspired philosophy has been around since 2009, and it looks as if Daniel Miessler’s the original author. I stumbled into it only recently and have adopted it as a regular reminder to myself:

So Han’s walking down the halls of Bespin with his old friend Lando. Leia’s there, and lookin’ good. Han thinks he’s off to dinner – maybe some wine, a little flirting, and then back to the ol’ guest quarters with Her Hotness.

But the door opens, and there’s Darth Vader.

Han doesn’t look incredulously at Lando; he doesn’t duck or run away. What does Han do?

He starts shooting at the motherfucker. He starts shooting.

Be like Han.
