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.

    Han was a graduate of the Imperial Military Academy before being discharged for saving Chewbacca from slavery.

    He was awarded the Corellian Bloodstripes during that period of time.

    Unless the new Canon retconned all of that away.

      It did. The Disney continuity does have him as an Imperial veteran, but an enlisted footsoldier lower ranked than Stormtroopers. He also deserted on what was probably his first deployment.
