I remember that Harrison Ford recently said Han was stupid. I don't think of the character as stupid, but I think Ford may have played him as being stupid in some scenes. Does this change the way we need to watch the movies?

Han is plainly not the sharpest vibroblade in the space-drawer. Remember, he's a low level hood in hock to a drug lord. He's full of bluster, but follows Obi-Wan without question, never offers his own ideas, is easily persuaded by promise of reward, and is more than a bit immature. He can't even sneak up on a scout trooper.

While awesome, I'd agree Han ain't no genius.
