Ford has said he wants Solo killed off and Fisher has said she`d like to kill him. Works for me. Since Leia is Vaders daughter it makes sense for her to turn evil in contrast to Luke`s good. Duality . Actually Fisher is so messed up mentally she can`t be too reliable for future films. Knocking Leia and Solo both off would leave Skywalker alone_as he was in ANH_ to mentor a new cast...and the Saga regenerates.
Can’t anybody in any movie anywhere just retire and live out their days tending the tulips in their garden?
Fisher was joking on a talk show when she said she wanted Leia to kill Han; Ford wanted Solo killed off in Jedi because he thought it served the character. We don’t know how he feels now (not that it matters as it’s not his call). My gut instinct is Solo dies in VII saving his and Leia’s daughter, whom I am hoping is the lead of the next trilogy. That would give his character over four films an amazing arc - going from smuggler who cares only about himself to dying for his child who’s going to be the next “new hope.”
But what the heck do I know...other than that if they split up Han and Leia and go all “modern family” on a myth, no more money spent on SW for me, since Han and Leia were my ideal couple when I was a kid.
