Han Solo and Chewbacca from The Force Awakens

If you've seen any of my artwork before you'll know that I'm a Star Wars fan - and that I especially like the various troopers and masked characters. So I thought it would make sense for a change to show that I can also draw the human characters.  This piece features Han Solo - but I've gone for his more aged look now that we know he will make an appearance, alongside Chewbacca, in the upcoming The Force Awakens.  [If you check through my gallery you'll see that I predicted back in November 2012 in my drawing 'Star Wars 7 - We're Back' that both Han and Chewie would appear! ]

From what we've seen so far - Han appears to be sporting a different, but similar outfit in The Force Awakens - but I thought it would be cool to draw how he might look with the familiar outfit we remember him wearing in the original trilogy.  Now I'd expect that in the intervening 30 years - he will have gone through several wardrobe changes - but I still think of this look as Han's 'costume' so it will be interesting to see if it makes an appearance in the movie.

I'm trying to steer clear of any plot spoilers - but it appears that the new Stormtroopers and the 'First Order' will be the bad guys of the movie - so this is my depiction of how a dramatic firefight between the characters might appear.
