The 2018 Star Wars The Black Series Han Solo (Bespin) (#70) captures one of the most iconic looks of the Original Trilogy — Han’s navy Bespin jacket from The Empire Strikes Back. This outfit appears throughout the Cloud City sequence, from the Falcon’s landing to the tense confrontations with Lando and Vader. The figure delivers a clean, sharply tailored sculpt with a strong Harrison Ford likeness, making it one of the standout Han releases of the Red Line era.
Released as part of Wave 19, this figure arrived during a period when Hasbro was refining human portraits and costume accuracy. The Bespin jacket is sculpted with crisp seams, subtle texture, and a screen‑accurate cut. The trousers feature the classic Corellian bloodstripes, while the holster rig and DL‑44 blaster complete the signature Han Solo silhouette.
The portrait is a major improvement over earlier Han figures, capturing Ford’s features with better proportions, sharper detail, and more natural expression. Combined with the iconic outfit, this figure becomes a definitive representation of Han during the emotional and dramatic midpoint of ESB.
