I believe he's referring to the novels within the Star Wars universe...i.e canon. I'm reaching way back into a book I read more then 10 yrs ago but I believe there was a set based on Han's early days and in one where he has a duel with some gunslinger it was noted that he wasn't the fastest, by any means, just that instead of just using his hand and arm etc. he used a whole body technique to draw his pistol. I would say if he got the drop on one then maybe....seeing as how a trooper can take them down too...because unlike Vader's energy absorption talent another Lord may not be able to deflect/absorb the blaster bolts.
