Well, if you’re willing to pay for IA’s legal fees if he uses the Millennium Falcon, you can keep on suggesting it. People have raised it when it arrived in Universe and it was always met with a no.
The simplest way is to visualize this: Are you willing to pay for IA’s legal issues if Disney sues for using Star Wars content? If no, then don’t suggest bringing in Han Solo.
There’s something called “fair use” in copyright Fair use - Wikipedia , and parody falls within it. Both the name of the character and the design of the spacecraft have been altered sufficiently so as to clearly allude to the original IP, but not infringe upon it.
More importantly, Hen Solo was a secondary character in CI4 that you only got to see for a minor portion of the game. Having his spacecraft as a purchasable item in CIU, however, would make it much more prominent and hence potentially cause copyright issues.
Having him as an NPC in the galaxy would probably be okay, but I question the usefulness of only having a single copy of him in the entire galaxy.
