Smuggler shocking saloon with a bit of heroism (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

han solo

'smuggler' is the definition.
(Star Wars character)

'shocking saloon with a bit of heroism' is the wordplay.
'shocking' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'a bit of' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'heroism' is 'h'.
'saloon' is an anagram of 'ansolo'.
'ansolo' put after 'h' is 'HAN SOLO'.

(Another definition for han solo that I've seen is " Harrison Ford's character".)
