Han Solo WILL Die
When I first speculated that Han Solo would bite it in The Force Awakens, it was based purely on the fact that Harrison Ford didn't like the character of Han Solo and wanted him to be sacrificed in previous films. It didn't have any solid evidence to back it up. I myself found it difficult to believe. It still doesn't have any solid evidence to back it up. But this next bit of information may be worth looking at.
Making Star Wars has come out with an article that deals with the death of Han Solo. Before unleashing the bombshell, the author repeatedly states the accuracy and legitimacy of the sources he received: his "friend" who apparently has led many of MSW's rumors. He then states the impact the news will have on fans. Oh yeah, spoiler alert. After a rambling about how amazing this source is, the author says this: "The facts are this was shot at Pinewood: This sequence takes place on the ramparts of The Evil Castle. Han Solo is hiding. He decides to reveal himself to Kylo Renn. Finn, Rey, Chewbacca and BB-8 stop in their tracks. They watch as Han Solo confronts Kylo Renn. Kylo Renn silences the conversation forever. Chewbacca lets out of a barrage of angry roars and laser blasts. Kylo Renn flees the scene. Explosions. Stormtroopers file in and Finn and Rey are forced to flee. More explosions. BB-8 and Chewbacca flee to the Falcon. Han Solo is never in a scene after this. Those are the facts."
Well, time to riot.
As someone who doesn't appreciate spoilers, I'm disappointed that they would so openly leak it. I know I leak (potential) spoilers, but only if they've garnered enough attention so that they've already blown up. I try not to give credence to unfounded rumors. At first glance, it seems like an unfounded rumor. Who is this "friend" of Making Star Wars? Why are hearing about this now, after filming has already stopped? These excerpts were not stated as from the script, but from written descriptions of what was shot at Pinewood. Also, why come out with this after the characters have been officially named? Why not also have the names revealed at an earlier date? This can be explained by the source not gaining access to the files until recently. But it still sounds fishy. But bear in mind Making Star Wars has led to some actual facts in terms of The Force Awakens news. But not all of the information has been accurate. It is convincing enough for me to pay attention to. Personally, I think that Han Solo will most likely die in The Force Awakens, just because of how Harrison Ford feels about Han Solo, how the trilogy will involve the passing of the torch to a new generation, and how Disney wants to make an impact on the audience. It might not occur in the exact way Making Star Wars says it will, but in all likelihood, it will be inevitable. But the funny part is, even armed with this in mind, I will still be shocked when it happens when I watch the film. I will still be sad.
