Sincere question..why are so many of you saying "nobody wanted a han movie", "nobody cares about han" etc.
Not questioning it. I'm a casual star wars fan at best, but I always thought Han was one of the most beloved Star Wars characters
Because George Lucas already gave us his backstory of being a hustler/pirate turned into a freedom fighter. TFA finished his arc by having him mentor Rey and Fin a bit and then get killed by his own son.
In short:
He was a dirtbag initally
Turned face and fought the empire
Schooled new cats on fighting evil regimes
Died
There isn't anyrhing else to tell because we know how his story ends when it is all said and done.
A Boba Fett/Obi-Wan story also isn't needed, Boba dies like a punk and Obi had 3 movies to rock with in the PT and being the pillar of anh...
The new trilogy had plenty of opportunities to branch out, but chose to focus on the solo/skywalker lineage, afraid to try something new.
Glad this movie is tanking...
