I don't know about feeling "safe" with Han, but unsafe in a good way. Like I trust him but not myself. Artoo could probably plug in and fix the elevator, too.

Eh, I'd say R2-D2 doesn't count as a "man" at all, being neither human nor clearly gendered in any way.

C-3P0, our translator for R2's boopspeak uses he/him pronouns for the little guy and so does at least Luke so he's effectively masc presenting. One could argue he's a man but the society he's in effectively classes sentient droids as property without the reserve they do for non-artificial species and are unlikely to confer the other cultural aspects "manhood" onto a droid.

Not Obi-wan?

I'm old school. He didn't make it out of the first movie.

If I grew up with prequels, then yeah. Chewie as well if I could fit a fourth.

What about that boy, what was his name? Anie i think. He seems innocent enough.

On one hand, he's the negociator. On the other hand he's the hand and legs taker. (Whether or not you want him in the elevator, depends on the hand he chooses to take.)

That's a good combo too.
