ST The Gigantic Freighter

Things like these make me rather pessimistic about this film. Very little of what I have seen so far is interesting, exciting or even feels right. So Han Solo breaks up with Leia only to have him die later in the film?? What kind of resolution is this, and what point are you even trying to make?? That these characters don't move on past who they where in Empire??

 

you damn right they won't move on, it seems to be the best when leia and han are snarky to each other, i am rather actually excited with the rumors, especially we might see some spice gangs and spice addicts... with the empire sacked, their production of spice and other black market substances might have diminished so the hutt space of the galaxy might be out of control

 

Han and Leia being split could be really interesting if handled right, but the last thing I want to see is the characters picking up the bicker-flirting like ESB happened yesterday.

 

I agree. I certainly think having had them split at some point in the past instantly creates an interesting dynamic as to why? and how do things lie between them now? Rather than 'it's just like literally the next day after Endor and they're still all lovey. Boring. As for the bicker- flirting point? I couldn't see a return to that, it'd be ridiculous. They're not young characters anymore. Besides, if (as I'm assuming) a tragedy within the family was the main cause of the split? I'm expecting a bit of genuine hostility..who knows?

 

I know this is just a movie about a fairy-tale space fantasy, but why can't they have real problems? Splitting up is what can and does happen to real couples. I can totally see that happening in this movie. They will probably not talk to each other much even though they still have some feelings for each other. If Han dies, we will see Leia mourn some along with the other characters.

 

Ya know, when the only other couple that Star Wars has is Anakin and Padme, and their ending is not exactly nice, then I think that Han Leia deserve something better.

 

I think it would be easier for fans to swallow if the reason for them splitting is that Han has been obsessively looking for his children, and Leia has to move on and play her role as a leader of the Alliance. That would cast the reasons for the split in a sad, but more understandable (and acceptable) way.

 

Maybe or maybe not. Manabyte might not have all the facts.

 

I'm still hoping that the freighter is carved into an asteroid.
