Exactly, a smuggler's best weapon is avoiding being caught then then escaping if spotted.
Well, he did say in A New Hope that he preferred a straight fight to all the sneaking around they were doing. I take that to mean he has some positive experience in fighting.
Isn't Kirk kind of a peacemaker anyway?
Don't remember that. Was it a space or blaster fight he was referencing?
Depends, regardless of his peacemaking skills though, Kirk has countless hand-2-hand encounters/wins under his belt.
Edit: Feel free to post examples of Han's hand-2-hand fighting prowess, I don't recall seeing anything really impressive in the movies. I'm all ears.
Ya. That completely works. Bring in an entirely unrelated character's feats because you can't come up with any for Han. Good debating.
Kirk wins. Han is not a hand-to-hand fighter. He is blasters and a pilot. Even if he fought dirty Kirk can probably counter by the fact he's taken down creatures much, much stronger than anything Han has come across.
I'm not doubting Solo can fight, but has he consistently taken on more powerful foes and won, like Kirk has?
Are stormtroopers great hand-2-hand fighters? I've only really seen them fire weapons.
Edit: If we bring in the novels, I'm fairly certain Kirk has many fights under his belt against impossible odds.

I have been thinking about this for a while, I watched the vids someone provided (Robtard?) and I gotta admit that I have changed my mind. Judging Kirk from his previous fights, he'll take Solo.
Yeah, they were my post. Did you see that butt-slam maneuver? Totally unorthodox.
