Depends on what you mean by "human". If you're referring to "human" as an inhabitant of Earth, then no. Han Solo is not "human", he's an alien from the planet Corellia. But he is indeed "humanoid" :)

Couldn't this mean that (assuming Earth would be the origin of humans) humans a long time ago expanded and just came to this planet? Making him still human, just from a colony.

Or something like that.

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." Assuming that: - The referenced point in time for that phrase is NOW - Earth technology hasn't gone backwards to the point where our current technology is today Earth couldn't have colonized other planets. Therefore Corellia couldn't have been a colony of Earth. Sure, they could have been a colony of ANOTHER race. In that case, Solo is still not human. IF Earth is a colony of Corellia or the same race that colonized Corellia, Solo is indeed human :) My $0.02
