A Anti-Hero That's Truly Out of This World

I've been given the task to compare a modern day anti- hero, and compare his/her characteristics to those of Ichabod Crane from "Legend of Sleepy Hollow." It is ironic that I've had such a difficult time finding an anti-hero from a show or movie, seeing that in the near future I would like to major in film. It's slightly depressing knowing that I don't know any of the characters from "the best shows of all time".

So why not choose an anti-hero that's part of the saga that created my dream of producing movies. Now despite my cheesy and corny title, this anti-hero truly is out of this world. This anti-hero can be no other, then Han Solo from the Star Wars saga.

 Han Solo is an outlaw smuggler with a wicked ride, who's only ideal in life is money. He's the perfect match for Ichabod Crane, a greed driven man, who along the way finds a female fit to his liking; Princess Leila. Now just on the side note, if you're a student reading my blog, your dad most likely had a crush on Princess Leila. I'm not sure why? I guess it's an old people thing? 

Anyways all jokes aside, it seems fit to say that Han Solo shares the same characteristics as Ichabod Crane. The first two characteristic in common are, greed and selfishness . Both Ichabod and Han Solo have money on their mind, they often put money and themselves first before others. Ichabod never really loved Katrina but in reality just wanted her father's inheritance. The same goes with Han Solo, he didn't care much for Luke or Leila, he just wanted their money. Although near the end of the movie,  Han did change his ways, but throughout the movie he was a selfish and greedy outlaw.

The last and final characteristic of the two are their inconsideration for their lovers. Ichabod didn't care what Katrina had to say or how she felt, he was faking his emotions to take her hand and take her father's money. The same goes with Han Solo, in the beginning of the movie, he directly tells Leila that he's not into her, but into the money. He's inconsiderate of Leila's feelings and only cares for her money.

It is clear that both Ichabod and Han Solo share same characteristics. They're selfish, greedy, and inconsiderate.
