It's one of those few fannish things that really bugs me once I think about it, though. I loved Han in the movie when I was a kid, precisely because he wasn't initially the hero guy, he was this sneaky gunrunning SOB who wasn't going to do anything unless he got paid... so when a guy like that does the right thing for nothing, you really get that he's changing and becoming heroic. It cracks me up that Lucas himself doesn't seem to know why Han is a favourite or how arcs of character development work (like, there's no arc if he starts out being just as good as he ends up).
