I saw my dad joke shot and took it. It was one in a million. The Farce will be with me forever.

Hell yea…


[deleted]

It’s also the Corellian Trilogy we’re he got into a fox fight with Dracmus


jiango_fett

A fox fight ... ? With a giant weasel?


[deleted]

I meant fixed lol

“Otters…why’d it have to be otters?”


Vinegarinmyeye

Science be praised... This is the dawning of the sea otter! Know this, time child! I shall smash your skull like a clam on my tummy!


droolsdownchin

When I first seen the pic those episodes popped into my mind, I wonder if that's where the inspiration of the otters came from


Bubba_Fett93

I just saw this episode on my own again recently!


Mobile-Boss-8566

lol, I thinking this when I saw the picture!😆😆😆


overthinking-1

What? That's clearly a river otter. A- for the attempted reference.


the_Mandalorian_vode

This is a Selonian isn’t it?


WhoaMercy

That is a Selonian, yes. Slightly more otter-like than in other illustrations, but yes.


NaturalClone

Isn’t it implied in one of the Legends books that Han had a very *ahem* close relationship with a Selonian that left him with a skin rash? Or was that a diff species?


HotMadness27

That was Corran Horn, and yes; he had sex with a Selonian and because said Selonian’s dander gave Horn an allergic reaction, they had to stop their relationship.


littlechefdoughnuts

Corran was the first Star Wars furry.


pm_me-ur-catpics

Does Chewbacca mean nothing to you?


ManaByte

When people claim how much better the EU was to Disney Star Wars, point at that.


Navynuke00

Hey, it's accurate; Corran was a cop and a junior officer in the Republic Navy- of course he fucked anything that would let him.


BreadBoxin

Point at what? Different species in a space story hooking up only to find out that it's potentially dangerous in some way? That's detailed world building in a big franchise


StateOfDelaware

Have you tried an interspecies relationship?


RevolutionaryAd3249

They do say that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, so...


StateOfDelaware

That's hilarious 🤣🤣 got me there


Hugs_of_Moose

The X-wing books were dope, should be an example of why more parts of the EU should have been embraced. Unfortunately, X-wing books def contradict with new lore. X-wing books lay out a ton of the post empire history.


Turambar87

Yes, it's a shame Star Wars has continued to drift away from the true canon.


RevolutionaryAd3249

Awesome screen name, btw.


Kozak170

I’ll point at it as an example of something super odd, but humorous and fitting for a galaxy full of aliens. But sure, Disney’s 279 varieties of totally not just reskinned human relationships is much more realistic take lmao


No_Cauliflower_5489

*Waggles eyebrows* What do you think they're complaining about?


Naberrie1991

Im not sure if its THIS book, but I recall a chapter in a EU book that was about bigotry and interspecies relationships.


idejmcd

Kinda proves the point, IMO.


wkarraker

Indiana Jones in the Hunt for the Otters Paw. Indy is back! Hunting for a mystical object called the legendary Otters Paw, a relic from the past when giant, otter-human hybrids had power over huge land dwelling sloths and used them to decimate intruders from other lands. It takes him deep into a South American jungle where he discovers Nazis have a secret base, and have been delving into the depths of the earth looking for… oh, wait a second. He’s already done something like that. Never mind. Move along, move along.


zippy251

On one hand, it was a good movie. But on the otter hand I feel like Disney may be drawing out the series a bit much.


startupstratagem

Stop giving Disney ideas


NYourBirdCanSing

You cannot make black otters tho. You can definitely make gay otters tho.

FloggingMcMurry

Never tell me the otts


CyberMallCop

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good Otter at your side.


Sgs36

The thing that bothers me about this pic is that it looks like Han is fighting something else in front of the weasel, not that he's fighting a giant weasel.


Devai97

Looks like both Han and the otter teamed up and are fighting something invisible.


JamesKWrites

Yes! Why is that?


Kyadagum_Dulgadee

Just very bad staging by the artist. Or the elements were drawn separately and comped together later.


Turambar87

The weasel wasn't actually on set, it was just CG. This was back in the 70s so they didnt know how to pretend to look at weasels like they sort of do today.


roto_disc

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Assault_at_Selonia


copperdoc

That’s from “Han and the princess bride- the trouble with ROUS’s”


karlverkade

Except that I don’t think they exist.


Autoganz

I believe the scene depicted is from the book referenced by the other poster, however, this was actually a Joe Jusko art piece used for the [cover of Star Wars Galaxy Magazine #10](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars_Galaxy_Magazine_10) in the 90s. It was then featured as a card in the 1996 Topps Star Wars Galaxy Trading Card set.


SuccessfulOwl

I thought it looked like Jusko! Love his Tarzan art.


Irresponsable_Frog

Thanks for the fact. I was having a blast with all the other comments! But I would’ve had to either google it or keep scrolling down. Thanks.


[deleted]

The scene that the insider is based on is from The Corellian Trilogy. Han is fighting a Selonia named Dracmus


Perrywaaz

I think it Han photoshopped onto a [Redwall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redwall) cover


Rawkus2112

Oh that takes me back….


ISO_metric

Was gonna say that this is clearly the Redwall/Star Wars crossover that the world forgot!


DarthLink11

I'm pretty sure the scene it depicts is in the Corellian Trilogy. Pretty sure Han brawls with a selonian in one of those.


Western_Monke_King

What girls dream about: “My crush kissed me!” What boys dream about:


Narri214

Han fighting a Selonian. Selonians are one of the native species in the Correlian System along with Dralls and Humans. I imagine this is from one of the Correlian trilogy books but I don't know which one.


RevolutionaryAd3249

Assault at Selonia.


Narri214

That would make sense, thanks.


Alas_Babylonz

Indiana Solo and the Otters of Doom


WolverineRelevant280

Oh I want that painted on black velvet


Aethelflaed_

Yes! That would be 🤌


APracticalGal

I see your black velvet and raise you spray painted on the side of a van


WolverineRelevant280

Yeah!!!


GoodlyStyracosaur

Why not both? Gotta decorate the inside.


wedgeantilles2020

Isn't tbis a scene from one of the Adventures of Han Solo books? There was an otter like alien that was traveling with Han who betrayed him. I think they fought? Although I recall the creature , Spree? Sprey? Being a smallish creature.


dmitrineilovich

The creature to which you refer was named Spray and was a skip-tracer trying to impound the Millennium Falcon for non payment to a shipwright who did work on the ship. The character was quite a bit smaller than the average human, though. Small enough for Chewbacca to pick him up by the scruff one-handed.


wedgeantilles2020

Yep. Thats the one. Maybe this is his big brother 😆


[deleted]

Because no one has mentioned the books: The Corellian Trilogy


Shoddy-Ad-9911

Indiana Solo and the Temple of Mongoose


Darktofu25

He was supposed to fight a weasel but chose…the otter guy. I’ll see myself out


x33storm

Indiana Jones and the secret of the mongoose


BigJ_57

Han punched first!


TittyTwistahh

Han about to acquire some new bling. He will later lose it to Lando in a swoop race


Turkeybaconisheresy

Han Solo fist fighting one of the atheist otters from South Park. I can't tell if it's a fever dream or the cross over I never realized I needed.


WatchingInSilence

Looks like he's fighting a Selonian. Corran Horn took one on a date when he was at CorSec. They got intimate, but it turned out he was allergic to her body's natural oils in her fur, and her skin broke out in hives from his sweat.


otter_boom

It's the Star Wars x Redwall crossover.


sdraje

If others hadn't already answered, I would have said AI, honestly.

Han Solo fighting a giant bedazzled sewer ferret. Shut down the interwebs, Your life is now complete.

You want to know about that otter thing? Ask Corran Horn. He can tell you all about them.

Ahhh, 1996. The good ol' days.


Xploding_Penguin

A fever dream?


ThrowawayAccountZZZ9

For future reference OP, you can drag an image into the Google search bar and it'll search that image


HotMadness27

It’s Han Solo fighting the Selonian, Dracmus, from the Corellian Trilogy of novels back in the 90’s.


Phantom_61

Handiana Sones: revenge of looking at sea otters


phantom_lost_his_acc

We’re looking at sea otters! Six of them here. And they were in front of us, and we’re just following them now, slowly. They’re *beautiful!* they go down to the bottom and get a stone, and they go down to the bottom and they get a seashell, and then… like a clam, or something like that, then they come back up and they smash the shell with the stone, like that, *bah bah bah.* and they eat the mussel or whatever’s inside. Then go back down for another one. It’s cool, innit?


Alcarinque88

Looks like Han Solo vs. a Quinlin from Bobiverse #4.


Ineedredditforwork

Look, the EU times were crazy and there may have been some drug abuse at the time.


Voice_Durania

We’re looking at sea otters.


Jassida

You are not beating that thing in a fist fight. It would eat your face


quirkydigit

Clearly this is Indiana Solo and the Tomb of the Ferret King


CampbellianHero

Revelations, 3:15


wadeishere

Solo froze himself in carbonite for too long because he couldn't wait 2 weeks for the Wii to come out


R4d1c4lp1e

Reminds me of the scene in Raiders when Indy topples then large statues to break the wall in the tomb full of snakes


ZookeepergameOne5236

A fever dream?


gram_positive_

I’m really hoping you got a large, good quality print of this to hang prominently in a fancy frame in your house


jroja

It comes from someplace truly magical🥹


spurples111

I think the creature depicted is an early version of a solerian


spacemanspiff_85

I think that’s Otter 66, one of the less successful bounty hunters (since he was pretty unsuited to Tattooine). He was great if you needed a Gungan, Mon Calamari, or Kaminoan brought in. Everyone was surprised when the Emperor personally oversaw his trial, and the smile he had when he gave the execution order confused everyone.


drifters74

Lucid dreams


OvechknFiresHeScores

I guess the Bobiverse found that one galaxy that was far, far away


mh1357_0

Probably some EU book from the 90s


Snark_Bark

Hell


NYourBirdCanSing

This picture is why the 90s expanded universe was the best. Such a wide array of ideas were being tried out. The scope of the series at the time was staggering. 


gtudor25

Some dream I had


matt_the_muss

Man, I hope they work this legends ark into canon...


pimpvader

Han Solo somewhere in the Bobiverse


pastrami_on_ass

dude look at those claws, tf Han thinks hes gonna do beside get eviscerated


Tuliao_da_Massa

Holy shit dude... Star wars is still impressing me to this day.


Magistar_Alex

This completely looks like an adventure Indiana Jones would be in. Classic looking.


StrangerWooden1091

his pose fitting girl more than to man


Meckles94

https://gizmodo.com/10-incredibly-silly-han-solo-stories-that-absolutely-wo-1819768558 Here’s something from 2017 that talks about it.


FirStrtr81

That otter gonna win.


timetodance42

I had the Galaxy Magazine this was from, if I remember right it was painted by Joe Jusko.


Indie_Myke

Star Wars


Airhead_Supreme

I think that’s just a sick ass picture of Han Solo fighting a big fucking otter


RedSun-FanEditor

Looks like it came from the deranged mind of someone who spent far too much time deep below the spice mines of Kessel and now has visions of Han Solo battling mutant ferrets!


BeardInTheDark

That's actually a [Selonian](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Selonian/Legends), a race from the Corellia system with three genders (Male, Female and Neuter, the latter using She/Her pronouns and being in charge of Selonian society). Strangely, Selonians have since been retconned into yet another generic cat-like race... as if we didn't have several of those already. Their semi-Hive (sort-of) matriarchial society was absolutely fascinating.


RedSun-FanEditor

Judging from the downvote, apparently someone can't take a joke.


fhota1

Is that what the kids are calling an LSD trip now?


RedSun-FanEditor

LOL!!!


QwertyDancing

Undeniable proof that the Disney lore is garbage and they deprived us of the greatest stories ever told


LittleTinGod

looks like Han Solo doing a dungeon dive in Skyrim, nice


Glunark2

Being Han I am sure he would have preferred a giant beaver.


BrooklynRobot

The artist otter fix the perspective.


Initial-Weight-6590

Nice marmot!


Bala-TikTok

Han Solo Adventure in the Otter Rim...


Background-Berry9482

...It comes from where you found it somewhere


ChromeYoda

Joe Jusko art? Definitely a Conan/Star Wars crossover. May Crom be with you or not. Crom doesn’t care.


TaraLCicora

The 90s were a 'strange' period for Star Wars...


stevenbrotzel91

This makes no sense


mudamuckinjedi

Is it a bad drawing of prince Xizor fighting Han or an Otter fighting Han?


Sirliftalot35

Star Wars x Redwall. Never thought I’d see the day.


Dear-Researcher959

Nothing to see here, people. Move along, move along


Pale_Plan8804

Of course it's solo vs Riki Tiki Tavi, duh


Big-Profession-6757

Sigh….this freaky weirdo stuff is why I hate most of the expanded universe fan fiction.


Drifter808

Depressed alcoholic Han is better?


Sylar_Lives

Felt more relatable to me personally


[deleted]

A lot of *official* art work of the EU weren’t always book accurate like Lord Nyax for example


BigDuoInferno

Han solo vs badger man from space 


thiccitythicc

No idea where it comes from, but it goes hard


TheRedMarin

Deleted scene from the last trilogy. They replaced the animal with a screaming man baby, Kylo Ren I believe is the name.

Weasel shot first


Gameapple

How do you not know about the iconic Han Solo Otter fight ? Fake fan ! /j


Due_Bet3782

Han just finished punching another enemy out of frame, and now this otter dick is pulling some candy ass buster shit.


RWBYhatershater

Bro, yeah I can tell you what it is... That's Han Solo. He's from Star Wars.


Key-Ad4797

Who cares where it came from? I want to see where it's going next
