Really excited about this! While this is the "official cast" I have to think it's to bring people in. New younger characters will be introduced that will carry on most of the action. As far as Han dying, if died heroically, I'm not sure complaining would be justified. People die in the SW films. Actually depending on what direction I could see Luke dying at some point being the Ben figure in these films.Comment

Right now I have no enthusiasm for this movie. I hope that changes.Comment

Wish they had cast Dane Dehaan as Luke's son, oh well.Comment

I think it is safe to assume that if any major character gets killed off, at least in this film, it would be Han. No doubt about it. I hope Han is around for all three sequels, but I can't see it happening. Harrison Ford was adamant that Han should die at the end of Return of the Jedi, and Lawrence Kasdan agreed with him. Knowing that Harrison has distanced himself from Star Wars over the years, I can see him agreeing to one movie, on the condition that Han dies. And if that being so, how would Han die? Heroically, nonetheless, and perhaps on the Falcon with Chewbacca by his side. Both of them die side by side. I can't see them keeping the Chewbacca character around for the other 2 movies without Han. And I wonder that maybe the Falcon isn't completely destroyed that it could be repaired, with a new crew, obviously for the 2 sequels.I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.Comment

I also think that Ford won't want to stick around for a large part in three movies.
Honestly, I was amazed he signed on at all. They must have dangled a whole pile of credits in front of his nose, because he has spent the last 30 years clearly stating that SW was over for him.
So I'd say kill him off in a meaningful way, and let's not reduce his part to "I'm sitting in the Senate, reading a newspaper".
It doesn't have to be a heroic death. Getting stabbed in the back by a Sith Lord would be dramatic enough.
Accidentally taking a header in a trash compactor would be entertaining as well, of course...
And no, Chewie doesn't have to die with him. Give the furry one a break!.

They wouldn't waste Han on something like getting stabbed in the back. They'd let him go out heroically.I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.Comment

They might throw us by having Andy Serkis play a non digital character, or at least just be in creature make-up. He was in a Michael Caine movie.
Movies are so fast pace now, and there are too many characters in the story to be allowed the change to kill off one of the big three characters in the first film.
There is no reason to kill Han off, and Ford should finally get that silly idea out of his head.
No matter how they would kill Han, the result will be the same as killing Captain Kirk just to have fans focus on the new characters, the next generation.
No reason is a good one. I feel Lucas made/designed those characters to never be killed. It's not the plot or point of the movies. "Never tell me the odds."
Killing Han now would be so weak. Even if he dies saving a main character, delivering secret plans, saving the galaxy, saving the Falcon or having something terrible like a revenge killing by Greedo's son, or killed by someone that didn't know Jabba was dead. (not even if Boba Fett came back and killed Han, it will be so bad)
Now in Episode IX, they might knock off R2D2.
I don't think we need a Luke ghost either, let the living train the Jedi, not everything needs to repeat. We have seen the prequel take actions and words out of context.
This isn't Game of Thrones where we need to witness the killing of every character.
(also, they should say no to more Anikan ghost)
Admiral Ackbar could be the new chancellor or something.
C3PO will probably be torn apart once during Episode VII, and I fully expect a fast sliding vertical blast door to open suddenly revealing Chewy growling who immediately beats down on a new bad guy, or an Imperial who never surrendered.Comment

New Chewbacca pic from Star Wars day. I'm glad they went back to his classic trilogy look. Chewie didn't look right in ROTS.
You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

Lucas has spent so many generations bathing audiences in this world of invincible heroes, it's hard to know what kind of effect killing Han Solo would have on rebuilding the franchise. From a story structure perspective , it sounds like killing such an iconic character would happen only to define the ruthlessness of whoever the new villain will be. After all, whoever comes after Darth Vader has to make a pretty potent statement to make his own impact.Comment
