Uncertain\u2026however, it has now become a new topic in Star Wars forums. &nbsp;&nbsp;Hopefully, there is a reason this new word has become part of the Star Wars Mythology.&nbsp; However for now, your guess is as good as ours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hicollector.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/sorry_about_the_mess.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1579\" width=\"583\" height=\"248\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to note&#8230;.Han\u2019s apology isn\u2019t just to the bar owner&#8230;.
