It's a quibble, but Solo strikes as an ISTP -- moving from here to there quietly, using tools -- whereas an ESTP like, say, Lando Calrissian uses people in between grand entrances and exits. Of course, now we're talking about Star Wars.
A useful contrast is that of Franklin Roosevelt and Douglas MacArthur: the former engaging through a calculated show of warmth and nobility, rhetorical only when purposeful, constructing a possibly inconsistent legacy from a series of short-term victories, thus a classic ESTP; the latter bombastic, ever grand and serious, haughty to the point of determinism about his own greatness, the archetypical ENTJ.
