It is perhaps impossible to capture the essence of what makes a screen legend in a particularly iconic role; the one in which they not only ran with across four different films in a much-loved film series, but to whom in many ways was the absolute star, the one to whom the kids loved and the one that others admired. To try and do so would be reckless folly, and yet every hero needs their backstory told, every past needs to be explored and that of Han Solo is no exception.

It is easy to see why Spiderman is amongst the favourites of all the super heroes that have come and gone since the much heralded Golden Age of the genre; funny, wisecracking, prone to teenage angst, the fine line between the big picture and the tiniest detail always shown as brightly as possible, a young lad protecting his neighbourhood rather than taking on the world. Since his first appearance in comic book and on screen, through Saturday morning cartoon and posters on the wall, any young person and any adult who remembers the feeling, will always be entranced by Peter Parker and Spiderman.
