[Jokingly] I say the only Han we get is flashbacks to Han's golden years with EMO KYLO REN.
Read through the twitter posts. Hilarious. Kylo won't reach Jar Jar proportions but this is so hilarious it will gain traction. I especially love the Uncle Lando and Rancor posts. I think this is where Roundshort is coming from. Kylo is ridiculous and there are movies to cry over (for example, I cry over flicks like Pride and Prejudice and Good Will Hunting and the opening credits of Lone Survivor) and there are movies to not cry over. But I respect everyone's view and agree movies are for entertainment and entering another world. I just pull back from a world with anyone with hair like EMO Ren.

(laughing) how do you figure?
Lambonius said:You must have watched a different original trilogy than I did, because those movies are pretty clear in the fact that Han is leaving to pay Jabba because he wants Jabba to stop hiring people to kill him. Not exactly selfless honor.
You referenced movies plural. I dispatched New Hope -- which leaves Empire. Pray tell, what about the quoted exchange from Empire that supports the inference that you were trying to make that Han lacks honor?
At the end of New Hope Han is a hero, making eyes with the Princess and -- we know from Empire -- joins the Rebellion. This is relevant because we also know from Empire that the Imperial fleet was not destroyed. The existence of the fleet means that the Rebels were no longer safe on the fourth moon since the Empire knew its location. Therefore, it is safe to say that Han participated in the retreat from Yavin and was involved in the move of the main rebel base to Hoth. So along the way he encounters a bounty hunter -- big deal. This clearly prompts him to break from the Rebels at the first opportunity that doesn't compromise his friends.
Han's honor is lacking where here?
Note, on Hoth, Han again is the person that goes back and rescues Luke and saves his life by stuffing him in the gut of Taunton (which, incidentally is a cowboy move if there ever was one).
