Luke blew up the freakin’ Death Star and he only gets to be commander. Han wants to skip out on the whole rebellion thing and he gets to be a general.

Endor was post-Empire. He was a general on Hoth.
(this is the scene oblin99 is referring to, the morning after Han went out after Luke.) Han was a Captain at Hoth, and was outranked by Luke… who is a commander at the time.
also, the Emperor died on the 2nd death star, which is when most worlds finally shrugged off imperial occupation. (see the celebration montage of them toppling the statues and stuffs); this is generally when people say that the empire was gone, even if it took a while to, ah, tidy up.
The Empire continued to exist organizationally just much smaller, and not that nonsense sequels bullshit evil macguffin splinter group form. The Empire remnant was called on in the EU against the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. The EU that is still canon because it was canon before it wasn’t.
The yuuzhan vong will never be canon for me.
The Yuuzhan Vong were canon for 19 books and then some, 1999 -2003, and overlapped the prequel releases and remained cannon through 2008 in the Legacy of the Force books. Right up until Disney bought out and fucked over authors, story lines, and a fleshed out and workable path for movies.
But its ok, nobody is perfect, you can overcome it some day.
Kind of a shitty tone to take over a crappy plot line.
I was replying in an overtly tongue-in-cheek manner as a response to your own shitty tone, and now you doubled down on the shitty tone? No fun allowed kids, we’re done here, pack it up and head home.
Nah the mini rant tips your hand. You were not being tongue in cheek, you were being sincere.
It was a mini rant precipitated by a joke, now you’re just trolling for the sake of it.
When Rogue Squadron is using the com links and looking for them after they camped out for the night, doesn’t Rogue 2 refer to both as Captain though?
Looks like we were both wrong. Luke is a Commander and Han is a Captain in Empire and this article basically answers my question, so should I delete the thread?

No.
“Captain Solo. Do you copy?” “Commander Skywalker. This is Rogue 2.”
So, Han is a Captain and Luke is a Commander in ESB. Tho, I don’t know why Han gets a promotion to General when he’s just been frozen in carbonite between films.
The years you don’t do any fuckups count double
