He entered the Pub on Takodana and was instantly greeted by a loud shout from behind the bar.”Han Solo!”, she said as she came around to get them some seats. Maz was the last person who you’d expect to be Han Solo’s friend.She believed strongly in the force and was old and wise.Exactly what he needed at the time.He had just won a ship, fastest in the galaxy and suddenly a popular target for Hutt bounty hunters.He told Maz about the bounty Jabba had placed on his head and was not satisfied by the reply he received.”Han, why do you run from them.You cannot run forever.Running from the Empire, running from these bounty hunters, at some point you have to stand up and fight.I don’t fight anymore, but I used to.I was a skilled warrior when I was young and am no longer, but you are.I will never understand how a young man like you with so much…potential courage can just run away from his responsibilities.You are the future Han.People like you are the ones who will push back the Empire and bring peace and security back into the Galaxy.”
“Ummm…yeah Maz, I was thinking more like, do you know any places where Chewie and I could, you know, lay low for while, just till we can get them off our scent and then we’ll be right off.Defeating the Empire…totally!This is just, temporary.Safety measures, you know…”
