Before he fell in love with Princess Leia, Han had another love, Qi’Ra. In the Solo spinoff, we see Han’s backstory 10 years before he would meet Obi-Wan and Luke and have his life changed forever.
Despite Han’s obvious feelings for her, Qi’Ra stays with the crime syndicate Crimson Dawn. We get a sense of what her ultimate decision will be when she tells Solo earlier that “Everyone serves someone.”
There is plenty of speculation as to her reasons for doing what she does, one thing is clear, her statement “everyone serves someone” is just as true in a galaxy far, far, away as it is in ours.
Who Do You Serve?
Nearly two thousand years ago Jesus told us in Matthew 6:24 that “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”
There are two choices in life, we will either serve God or we will not. The word translated money is the Greek word μαμωνᾷ. Strong’s Concordance defines the word as being from an Aramaic origin meaning riches, money, or possessions.
In life, we clearly see that people in this world serve these three in one form or another.
In Proverbs 22:7 we read “The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.” Many people in debt go to jobs they hate or do things they do not like in order to pay on a debt they have. They live as slaves serving their debt.
We are warned in 1 Timothy 6:10 that “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.”
We, like Joshua, who said in Joshua 24:15b, “as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
