Han Solo Is A Better Pilot Than Darth Vader

WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Star Wars #52

The latest Star Wars comic has confirmed it: Han Solo is a better space pilot than Darth Vader. Or, to quote Obi-Wan, it’s true… “from a certain point of view.”

Marvel’s Star Wars series has been fleshing out the saga’s sequence of events placed (mostly) between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, when the Rebellion was solidified thanks to the best Star Wars battle in the movie storyline. It’s that pivotal point in the series that Star Wars #52 uses as a backdrop, enacting the dogfight that never happened in the movies between Han Solo and Darth Vader.

Against all odds, it’s Han who comes out on top.

It might seem a little unbelievable, but there’s no disputing the issue: Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader and Han Solo never got the chance to put their piloting skills to the test. They definitely came face-to-face and have been involved in the same space battles throughout the original series, with the Millennium Falcon and Vader’s TIE Fighter both key players in the battle of the first Death Star.

They certainly never get as close as they do in Star Wars #52, which is almost entirely a story of Han trying to survive against a bloodthirsty Vader.
