[_Star Wars_](http://time.com/4324265/malin-head-star-wars-episode-viii-set/) fans, at least the honest ones, have long accepted a stark truth about the series—[Han Solo](http://time.com/4267665/harrison-ford-han-solo-death/) is the best part of the whole darn thing.

Now there’s a supercut that gets rid of all of the unnecessary actors in the [_Star Wars_](http://time.com/4150098/star-wars-the-force-awakens-terms-guide/?iid=sr-link1) saga, from the whining Luke Skywalker to the blustery C3PO to the adamantly unfriendly [Princess Leia](http://time.com/3579359/princess-leia-catcalling-spoof-video/?iid=sr-link4). There’s not even an [overly emo Kylo Ren](https://twitter.com/kylor3n?lang=en) anywhere in sight. Instead the clever editor left Han Solo as the star of the film, finally giving fans a chance to revel in all of Han’s gloriously sarcastic space cowboy antics and razor-edged one liners.

The short supercut shows Han’s evolution from mercenary on a mission to the devoted father that appears in _The Force Awakens,_ and even gives a hint to the roots of the parody Twitter account [Bad Father Han Solo.](http://time.com/4169157/bad-father-han-solo-star-wars-parody-twitter/?iid=sr-link1)

Hopefully [Alden Ehrenreich](http://time.com/4321458/alden-ehrenreich-young-han-solo/?iid=sr-link4), who will reportedly play the infamous space smuggler in an upcoming _Star Wars_ spinoff, will watch and learn.
