    Rumor has it that Han Solo is going to die in Ep VII. What are your hypothetical thoughts regarding when he dies in the movie? It will obviously be pretty epic, he's not going to go out like a punk. Please discuss.

    My hypothetical thought is that it's this THREAD that will die - SOON. In before the lock.

    ^To be fair, there isn't a thread here specifically about Han Solo, but I do think discussion of this in the Big Three thread should suffice.

    "Rumor has it", or rather, "fan speculation based on Ford's 30+ years-old notion that Han should've died in the carbon freezing process since he felt the character arc had nowhere else to go"

    Killing any of the main three would be an obvious stunt move and should be avoided at all costs.

    I think he should die right before the lock.

    Sure, give the old space pirate the death that he deserves. ;)
    Honestly folks, Harrison Ford has wished for Solo's death since ESB. He said that the character was not important to the story. So... Hypothetically, how would you write him out of the story?

    Middle. Or end. NOT the beginning.

    So... Should he have Chewie with him, or should he die... Solo. ;)

    Nice one.

    I want to hear, 'Chewie, take [my daughter] and get to the escape pod.'

    More importantly, which part of Han should die first?

    If Han DOES indeed die I am going to have to say he should die right in the beginning of Act 3. I don't know which movie I'd have him die in but either Episode 8 or 9...

    I think Han should die at some point in the ST but it has nothing to do with Harrison Ford's comments past or present. Everyone dies eventually and our heroes should be no different. I expect it to be incredibly meaningful to both the characters and the audience and hopefully it will also be meaningful to the plot. I expect Luke to die as well but I hope that doesn't occur until Episode IX.

    Luke will be on Tatooine with the Binary Sunset/Sunrise (to change it up a bit) and disappear into the Force.
    Not sure about Han or Leia.

    I've retitled the thread to give it a more comprehensive scope... instead of just being about Han and when he should die. People have predictably begun discussing Luke in here too.

    Also, the other Big Three thread is more "out of universe"; it's focused more on discussions of the original Big Three actors being confirmed to return.

    I really don't know how I feel about more than one member of the Big Three biting it. It would almost seem like overkill, especially if it was done simply for the shock factor. I really hope they don't go down that route. If it were to happen, I hope they would take the overall story into consideration and handle their deaths accordingly.

    Luke should die in Ep VII and be a force ghost from then on.

    I really don't think Luke should die in Episode VII. Force Smuggler made a great point awhile ago that Lucas mirrored Obi-Wan's death in the PT with Qui-Gon but Yoda's death in Episode VI hasn't been mirrored. I also think Luke should have a six film arc just as his father did.

    Fate of the OT3? One big giant "Red Wedding". Kill them all, all at once in front of our horrified eyes [face_devil]

    Nah but in all seriousness I can see them killing the OT3 off throughout the series *or at the very least give them a definitive conclusion to their arcs* in order to:
    1. Close up all loose ends so we wont have any cases of EU writers making up the OT3s death or people wondering why Luke isn't in episode 10 or whatnot
    2. To "pass the torch" and avoid overcrowding *I bet it must be hard to manage 7 new big characters as well as the OT3 and still be able to give them all something of value to do*
    3. Its a fantasy tradition for the mentor to die in order to give the hero motivation

    Agreed about a 6 movie arc for Luke. I want to see him doing some sweet stuff in this trilogy.

    Luke making it out of Ep. 7 is a dicey proposition simply because mentor figures don't have a very high survival rate of the opening trilogy movies. On the flipside, if he's less Obi-Wan and more Yoda, he could make it through the ST. And there really aren't many other options for a Yoda in the ST, unless they make up somebody new. Wild card into that mix, let's say the movie focuses on the next generation of Jedi, if Luke is their teacher, and he dies, it could be a curveball to throw at the characters who were relying him him for support and teaching. Now what do they do? There's that bad guy they gotta worry about and Master Luke is freakin' dead!

    Solo? If he makes it through Ep. 7, and if Ford has changed his mind on that death scene he talked about 3 decades ago (and when they frozen Han Solo in the 2nd movie cuz they were literally not sure if they could get Ford back), then he's good till the end.

    Leia? All the way through all 3 movies, probably. Easy bet on that one.

    Luke dying ala Obi-Wan would feel like a rip-off of that death . Besides as someone on a thread stated a long while back back that if Luke didn't die on the Death Star in ROTJ then he shouldn't die in combat in the ST or something like that.
