There’s One Thing I Totally Hate About The Force Awakens
The climactic moment of Star Wars: The Force Awakens came not with the destruction of the Starkiller Base, nor even with the lightsaber battle between Kylo Ren and Rey while the planet around them was collapsing.

Again, SPOILERS will follow. So, how you bring a new villain into that world is a very tricky thing.
But we also don’t know if Snoke is a human, capable of creating human offspring. But as a sacrificial lamb to the generational shift in the saga, Han makes the most sense: he’s a beloved character (if not the most beloved characters), but the one who can be most easily removed from the storyline without dramatically upsetting the mythology.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly Abrams says killing off Han Solo was bold, but necessary because the character had nowhere to go and was at risk of becoming irrelevant.
“Long before we had this title, the idea of “The Force Awakens” was that this would become the evolution of not just a hero, but a villain”, he said.
Whereas Darth Vader (SPOILER!!!!), his grandfather on his mother’s side, maintained exquisite control over his dark powers until his final reconciliation with the Force and his son Luke, Ren is not entirely in possession of his own emotions, and it is perhaps the most unintentionally hilarious part of JJ. “And not a villain who was the finished, ready-made villain, but someone who was in process”.
Arndt, who had worked on early drafts of the script, revealed that Kylo Ren was actually someone who started off “merely as a way to separate the heroes we remember from the original trilogy”. So we ended up leaving those things out. “We wanted them to be spread all throughout the galaxy”. It might not have been a particularly realistic ending, but then, I didn’t fall in love with Star Wars because of its gritty realism.
According to the report, the Han Solo film will tell the story of a young Han Solo throughout his life before he began working with Luke, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Princess Leia, and the rebels in Episode IV: A New Hope. At the end of the movie they would have reconciled and gotten over their differences.
There’s a lot going on in this movie!

It was a tragic moment, and one that undoubtedly broke the hearts of countless fans – as well as at least one wookiee – but the death of Han Solo is something that seems unsurprising, if not nearly inevitable, in retrospect. “He’s not really pushing the story forward”.
