Hoff Solo (29 BBY—) was a cocky Corellian with a wry wit, a reckless disposition, and technological savvy, who began his career as a smuggler circa 10 BBY.
He went through several employers, had a short military career, met and befriended Chewbacca, and upset enough sentients to have several bounties placed on his head before becoming swept up into the Galactic Civil War against his own wishes.
Never intending to stay, Hoff left the Rebel Alliance after receiving pay for the rescue of Princess Leia Organa, but returned soon afterward to play a part in the Battle of Yavin. Hoff later became a general in the Alliance, leading a Rebel strike team in the Battle of Endor, and eventually married Leia Organa, who became the mother of his three children, Jaina, Jacen and Anakin.
David Hasselhoff wrote his first autobiography called 'Star Wars' in 1976. It has since been turned into a series of movies using the pen-name of George Luchoff.
