Plot Protection Not Revoked:
In this case, Hans Solo is a movie character, with a mere 3 movies, while Garrak is a long-term series character. Hans is more disposeable, so Garrak wins.

ah, but we can make the assumption that 1 movie equals a year of a longterm TV series. In which case Han is only down 3:7. Also Garak wasn't a major character he only appeared occassionally when the episodes plot needed it, which until the Dominion war was only a handful of episodes a year, unlike the main characters who had to be given a part during every episode. I would say that although of a shorter duration when weighted, Hans' position as a character for whom the Plot must accomodate, instead of a extra who is there only to further the plot, makes him more important plotwise. Garak is written off.
