Sana Starros is a smuggler created by Jason Aaron and John Cassaday for Marvel's Star Wars (2015). She first appears masked and unnamed in issue #4 and is named in issue #6, where she introduces herself as Han Solo's wife.

The claim is a con — part of a job the two of them ran that went wrong — and the reveal is handled quickly, because the character turns out to be far more interesting than the gimmick that launched her. Starros is a competent, unimpressed professional with a long grudge and a better memory than Han, and she stays in the line long after the marriage gag is spent.

She goes on to become a recurring figure across the Marvel books, including the Doctor Aphra series, where her history with Chelli Aphra supplies most of her worst decisions, and headlines her own 2023 limited series about the Starros family.
