Title: She's so High
Characters: Han and Leia
Timeframe: From A New Hope to Empire Strikes Back
Summary: Han's thoughts on Leia
Notes: Response to the 1990s Pop Music Roulette. The song I got was "She's so High" by Tal Bachman.



She had been going nonstop since they had met he never could understand how the High Council expected her to always be on display, expecting her heart to be made of durasteel. They treat her like a porcelain doll and Han can’t understand why. To so many she’s untouchable and that just makes him want her more.

She's blood, flesh and bone
No tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound


That first terrible night on Yavin he had followed her from the party intending to work his charms. What he found when he did catch up with her broke his heart. He slowly walked to her and placed a gentle hand on her shaking shoulders. Her tortured brown eye’s betrayed that she had been sobbing. Without any words she took the offered shoulder. He vowed then and there to do all he could to protect her always.

But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen
Yeah, yeah

'Cause she's so high...
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high...
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
She's so high...
High above me


His ability to maneuver in complex situations soon landed him as a favorite companion on her trips to drum up support for the alliance. It gave him an excuse to keep an eye on her. It also gave credence to the rumors of a more intimate relationship sparked by their heated arguments.

First class and fancy free
She's high society
She's got the best of everything


Han watched from the fringes as she worked the crowd at this latest shindig. It always amazed him the way Leia effortlessly put people at ease as she strolled from group to group in an extravagant shimmer silk dress. This was the life she had grown up in; it was where she belonged where she deserved to be.

What could a guy like me
Ever really offer?
She's perfect as she can be
Why should I even bother?

'Cause she's so high...
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high...
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
She's so high...
High above me


He dedicated himself to her completely, but she wants a commitment to her cause. Han has entrusted himself to a government before but this time places his faith in her instead.

She comes to speak to me
I freeze immediately
'Cause what she says sounds so unreal


He watches her speak with Luke across the bay from the ramp of the ‘Falcon, and feels his guts churn in jealously. Chewie comes from under the ship, where he has been working on the lifters, and leans against a strut. Han looks back at the wookie’s low growl. With a frown he looks back to Leia and her earnest friend before he answers, “I know pal and you’re right, it’s time to go.”

But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

'Cause she's so high...
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high...
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
She's so high...
High above me



Hope you liked it.
Thanks for reading.

That was wonderful.

The song was perfect for Han and Leia.

Of course if Han had just been more open about how he felt about Leia, he could have spared himself a lot of grief.

Great response to the challenge

Perfect song for Han! Nice work here. I like how you allow Han to see the woman behind the symbol.

Anyway, well done! I like a guy's perspective on this...
