^^ Also that, but they didn't really fight, still regardless, Luke has the advantage anyway.
Edit: Actually Han did throw a punch, but it didn't phase Luke at all and Han is pretty strong himself.
So clearly he can't beat DE Luke, ROTJ he can't.
ESB? Prob not, ANH def.
The Force is just a too big advantage for Luke.
There have been tons of Fist Fights between Force Sensitives and Non-Force Sensitive.
Anakin vs Clovis, Pre Viszla vs Maul "somewhat", Pre Viszla vs Obi-Wan "somewhat".
Obi-Wan vs Jango Fett.
All across the EU, Non-Force Sensitives can fight JUST fine against Force Sensitives.
Also, I thought Han was one of the best H2H fighters in the EU.

Nah his robotic hand was cut off, even still look above. Luke tanked Han's punch(who was in a rage, strong enough to break out of a Sentinel's grip and Han himself is pretty strong) with no damage at all.
To be fair, he did punch his shoulder. :/ That doesn't exactly do much.

Wasn't that his metal hand?
It isn't. But why would it even matter? His metal hand is something Luke always has in combat, so just discarding it by saying: "Huh, metal hand!" is irrelevant because Luke has the same metal hand in this fight. And a single punch from said hand would make Han's head explode.

Anakin and Clovis didn't have Anakin using the Force and was TCW PIS, Maul was playing with Viszla, Obi beat Jango, etc... And those are all decent Force sensitives, sure... but this is Luke, y'know the most powerful Jedi ever. He's an slaughter timing Han.
Anakin wasn't using any of his Force abilities against Clovis, Viszla didn't fight either of the other 2 in strict H2H either.
Obi-Wan vs Jango, the former wasn't even trying to kill but capture, that and Jango had armor to protect him.
Han is one of the best fighters in the SWU, but you're putting him up against Luke Skywalker....with no details as of the fight, what versions and so on.
DE Luke can dominate him just fine.
ROTJ can do it too since he saw Guri( a superhumanly fast droid) in slow motion, so Han is gonna be standing still to Luke or in slow motion.
ESB? I guess Han can take that.
ANH? Han def beats him there.

Luke has trained in numerous martial arts (FotJ: Backlash) and can cut through lightsaber resistant Vong armor by augmenting his blows. He could punch straight through Solo if he wanted to.
As I said, depends on what version were using.
I doubt Luke as of ROTJ would be able to one shot Han in that manner, he'd still win though without effort.
Any Luke DE and over takes it with ease.

Even RotJ Luke is matching blades with Darth Vader, who can casually lift a grown man with one hand.
Which is blades not fists and Han has shown to be pretty strong and durable, able to take hits from both peak humans and superhumans alike. I'm not sure Han would get one shotted by ROTJ Luke.
