Han Solo or C3PO?

The basic question asks whether you would rather be Han Solo or C3PO, when concerned with the world of business.

Han Solo is a renegade, surely everyone wants to be the hipster dude with a gun - he's just cool isn't he? Yes, that may be true but he does talk a lot of crap. All that moaning about only in it for the money, the use of nick names rather than someones real name, he may have flown back in to help Luke at the last minute but what else has he really done? What merits his appeal? No-one applauds him for bumping off Boba, surely? Even the Endor victory was down to Chewbacca and R2D2 ( Ewoks non-withstanding ).

And what was that stuff about Parsecs! I've heard George Lucas' explanation about how the shortest distance when navigating in space is to run close to blackholes and thus achieve the quickest time but c'mon Han! He asked if the ship was fast, not whether you can compute a distance - and you know who was really doing the maths there? Chewbacca, that's right. Chewwie may be a sidekick but he's got all the brains, the strength, maybe a bit soft but a caring side is an admirable quality; he has all the talent.

C3PO is a yes man of no use. Oh master Luke, yes Master Luke. Basically a droid - it's not his fault, he was programmed to be an ass kissing ponce.

While I'm on the subject...

R2D2 is IT support.
Luke is the post boy promoted before he was ready.
Lando is sales.
Darth Vadar is middle management.
The Emperor is the Board of Directors.

I have said too much. I am ashamed.
