Fictional History
The Solo family was once a prestigious, Corellian royal family. The first known Solo in the family tree is Berethon e Solo, a king who ruled Corellia during the Golden Age of the Old Republic and set up a constitutional monarchy in 312 BBY. His descendants continued to rule Corellia until the establishment of the Diktat centuries later. By 29 BBY, their declining status had driven them out of rule and into poverty. Han Solo was born during this time.
During the post-Imperial era, however, the Solo family regained its prestige—starting with the marriage of Han Solo and Leia Organa (born Leia Skywalker) around 8 ABY. Not only did the connection to the Skywalker family give his line a boost, but the heroic and legendary actions and accomplishments of his family (as well his Skywalker relatives), including his children, made the Solo-Skywalker family, overall, one of the most famous and powerful ones in the universe.
Leia and Han had three children: Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin who were all trained as Jedi Knights. Jacen turned to the dark side and became Darth Caedus. Before that, he and Tenel Ka, Hapan Queen Mother and Jedi Knight, had a daughter, whom they named Allana.
Presumed to be a descendant of Ben Skywalker, Cade Skywalker was the last remaining Skywalker; whether this included its Solo offshoots is unknown.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional and/or history:
“It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
