Not true. Since the prequels I have read several that were very good. Try "The Legacy of the Force" series. It was more in line with the OT.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
- Thread starter San Holo

I preferred the stories that avoided the Force. Smugglers, gunslingers, tyrants, heists on far-flung worlds, back stories about the background characters of Mos Eisley.
I tried to get through the Corellian Trilogy a couple of times, but gave up. Han, the missus and the Jedi kids. Maybe marriage wasn't such a good idea after all.

Splinter was the second best Star Wars novel Alan Dean Foster wrote. (I took one look at the cover of his third to make that decision).

Why didn't you say. I would have arranged the same funeral provided for Drifter's dearly departed machine.

I think my question was valid. Everyone is against Ford as an older Indy but all for him to play grandpa Solo. Han Solo is an action character as well and is not just a driver of the Millennium Falcon. He is all about getting in the action in ANH.

It is a valid question. The two characters aren't interchangeable.
Han's a gunslinger and a pilot.
Indy's usually up close and personal getting a beating, falling out of aeroplanes and fridges, being dragged behind trucks, lashing himself to submarines, and so on. He's also the main character.
Star Wars has multiple main characters and a known past and future involving further characters. Han needn't take centre stage in #7. I think he'll mostly be there to give some continuity and a sense that there was life in that universe before the Prequels.

Oi. I think your question is valid too...Henry W Jones said:
...talking SW just bores me quicker than ever these days, especially here and it just as tired as talking Harrison's age.
Your question is valid, just get yourself ready to reread all the same crap that was written about Indy.

I think theres a lot to be said for Harrisons reasoning to killing off Solo in ROTJ.Rocket Surgeon said:
But I think given the age of the characters when episode 7 comes out that it would actually add some emotional feeling to the stories if one of the main characters was killed off, although not in a Kenobi kind of way as that would just be a rehash of the original.

You sound as bored by Star Wars as I am with Indy.
Rocket Surgeon said:
I don't think people will expect from Han what they expect from Indy.
Han could be a grumpy 70-something space trucker running shipments for The Hugh Jass Freight Co., and I'd give him a free pass.

Don't be surprised if Ford has some big action scenes in SW7. He is frickin' Han Solo and they will totally make him run and fight at least once in the film or films he's in. At least that would be my guess. I would not be surprised if they made him more Indyish as far as the action. CGI Baby!!!!!

Better hope he can still shoot straight.
And Imperial Remnant troops aim as badly as their predecessors.

74 THINGS EVERY GREAT STAR WARS MOVIE NEEDS
One I would add: they need to let John Williams, 81, read the outlines and start composing themes.

I hope Drew Struzan comes back for these films. If he's not available, then hire the dude who did this:
