[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 3337645, member: 2067"] For me, it's difficult to label Han CG because it doesn't seem like he fights the empire to destroy the empire, to over throw oppressive law and order....he fights it to protect his girl and his friends, the people he cares about, and himself. That's pretty classic TN: "Galactic whatever, I don't want storm troopers barging in and mucking up my business!" Just because he's also something of an outlaw and scoundrel doesn't mean he's necessarily chaotic. With Robin Hood, he leans more toward CG because he actively opposes a corrupt system by becoming what it most hates. It would be like someone opposing a presidency they didn't like by becoming a terrorist, as long as they only strike at "big business" and "corrupt law offices (y'know, as few innocents and children as can get hurt)." He wants to overthrow the system because the system sucks. Folks like John Wilkes Booth would arguably be CG (if the Lincoln presidency was Evil, anyway). By the time he becomes Robin of Loxley again, he probably shifts in alignment to more of an NG. He doesn't have to fight against order and law any more, and can even be a part of it, but he'll always be watching out for abuses of it. [/QUOTE]
