ScreenPrism I noticed that you said that the heroes of the story start of wearing white and the villains start off wearing black which makes me think about the stormtroopers in how they are always wearing white which means that in their story their the good guys
This was a great analysis of Han's character! Han's complexity is great and I can still remember my excitement the first time I really watched Star Wars and saw Han and Chewie fly back into a battle to help Luke.
Even though I’ve never fallen in love with Han as others have, because I always was (and still am) much more of a Luke guy. I appreciated what Han stood for in others because while I lean very much Jedi, Force, faith, and all that, my life is not others’ lives and I wouldn’t want it to be. To have the cowboy realist be just as much a hero as the magic knight of faith and the two of them actually become brothers in more ways than one, to me, seems like a truly healthy unity.
The story of Han Solo in the original trilogy is one of the greatest transformations in the Star Wars Universe. He goes from a cynical selfish person to a selfless caring person. The death of Han Solo is probably the most tragic because he goes to confront his son as a man. Han most likely he might die but for the love Leia he made last attempt to bring him. In the end he was slained by his own son. The ultimate sacrifice was to save his son
Great video! It's strange how Snoke told Kylo that he had too much of his father's heart in him (after Kylo murdered Han Solo!). Snoke meant the humanity and compassion of Han Solo's heart, and not his cool and cynical side.
LightSide Sith That’s actually a great point. That when Snoke saw Han in Kylo, it wasn’t “oh good, a totally mercenary attitude toward allegiances,” but virtues like compassion.
Han Solo is one of the most interesting characters because he isn’t royalty, he doesn’t have any special powers and he isn’t a clean cut good guy or bad guy. He’s a *real* character with real complexities and that makes him so much more interesting.
Han Solo is the wounded warrior. he is conflicted because of a troubled past. perhaps he tried to help someone and he failed. and it crushed him. I just hope the movie isn't ruined by Disney. this may be one of your best videos yet.
This is the video that made me subscribe. I’m mostly neutral towards Star Wars, but the analysis here was so great that I’m seriously considering going through the original trilogy again. Great job!
This video encapsulates perfectly one of the main traits of a good hero. Their heart, not how amazing their skills are (though that can help) but how much they can survive and still help those they care for. It is very important that they have vulnerabilities and failings, like we all do, so we can appreciate how incredible it is that they achieve great outcomes. Luke, Lea and especially Han display many failings which makes their successes all the more enjoyable and moving. This can be the biggest flaw in recent movies, making characters that are amazingly skilled at many things with no believable reasoning. It actually makes them less of a hero, or not even a hero at all. Just a fantasy, without any connection to the audience. Sometimes less is more.
First Game of Thrones now Star Wars video. I love so much your Star Wars content girls. Thank you. Keep sending it. Also, will make something about any charecter of Westworld?
I wouldn't say Kylo uses han's humanity against him. JJ said that Han really did almost convince him to come with him but it wasn't enough. In the last Jedi it's obvious his legacy lives on in the conflict of his son due to his sacrifice
Monokite Han’s a lot of things, but “balanced” ain’t one of them. If you mean “light and dark in one” that’s not really balance. We all have good and evil potential. What Han prides himself on is pragmatism and self-reliance, like the cowboy ideal he’s modeled after. Han is ultimately just a good man in a line of work where he runs with a lot of people more morally compromised than he is. So he has to do things that might seem dastardly but he views as necessary to live and survive.
Indy, Han and Jack Burton have been my childhood heroes... dead on Han Solo explanation and why he is the anchor for all of us in that galaxy far far away.
Han shot first. It is my thinking that the Han Solo character solidly starting out as this space cowboy, mercenary-type who's only allegiance is to himself is a key element to make his later heroic turn towards the end of the movie all the more meaningful.
badassery's finest and the inspiration to be rousing feathers with questions or viewpoints that skirt the norm because , "they won't like that" is a mere stifled cough from 30 rows back comparred to the messes he had to live through, learn from, advance because of, all while knowing, there will be no fake pleasantries, but i've lived through worse, and i might be put here to know that in just the same way to grow , come to peace with, and finally rest, from a fight that has a humble learning meaning somewhere after sometime when you realize the fight is assuming you need to, but realizing you don't.
Han is a man with lack of trust that’s why he seems so self absorbed he does evolve over time but he was taught you can only trust your self because you can’t betray your self but others can betray you but in the end he wants a purpose someone or something to fight for
Does Han Solo ever say that he was flying the Falcon when it made the Kessel run? Just realized watching your video that moment is a bit vague - I wonder if Disney is gonna establish that it was actually Lando who was piloting the Falcon during this famous Kessel run in the upcoming movie? hmmm
The more I think about it, I realize that Han has a lot in common with Anakin Skywalker. They both grew up as slaves to an alien (Wattle, Lady Proxima) on planets in the Outer Rim (Tattoine, Corellia), they both dreamt of being pilots and grow to be cocky fliers, they both have familiarity with gangsters particularily Hutts, they both demonstrated arrogance, compassion, hot headedness, and a tendancy towards luck to get out of stick situations. They also both struggled with maintaining a balance in the dark and light side, frequently dipping into the dark though ultimately Anakin chose to align himself with the Dark and Han with the Light. Oh and they both fell in love with royalty to two woman who happen to be related (Padme, Leia) and have children with them.
I wonder if it isn't too late to add the recent film " Solo: A Star Wars Story " to this excellent analysis. There will some really great tidbits from that film that would expand Han's journey.
You know you are meant to do great things in pop culture analysis when the word “ramshackle” is said in your work. Thanks fo another great episode. 😇✌️
very nicely done. As time as gone I've become more interested in the characters who didn't have the force or or some grand lineage.The soldiers, spies, thieves, pirates, smugglers, henchmen, gangsters they all have a part to some extent in the galaxy. Like examining a pocket watch and seeing the multitude of parts. Some large reaching throughout the watch and some small with less of a internal footprint but without those small parts the large ones wouldn't move or function properly. Those are the characters of the Star Wars saga.
There's a lot of retconning that needs to happen in the new movie tomorrow to make Han's New Hope lines fit into the larger saga. He has to make the kessle run in less than 12 parsecs even though a parsec is a measure of distancr and he has to not believe in the force even though the Jedi were still a thing when he was a kid and even if he didn't remember the Clone Wars, he would certainly have known a lot of people who did. The way Last Jedi handled it's place in the saga worries me about that, but I'm hoping they do better with this one. Last Jedi had such good bones and ideas and then executed them do poorly. Hopefully this will be better.
"That's not how the Force works!" Could you please do a video on the original Toy Story? It's my favorite movie, I've seen it at least 60 times, but it's so simple I have a hard time figuring out why it's so great.
It's been over two years since The Force awakens was released but I still get a tear in my eye when I see Han's final scene... GODDAMMIT J.J. WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME!
I wonder why the writers didn't mention anything about the devastating effects of long-term cocaine and alcohol abuse on Princess Leia between episodes 6 and 7. Hrmmm...
Maybe it's because the empire is sold as a force for good in the universe itself (hence the white on the outside of the stormtroopers), but is evil on the inside (why they are black black underneath).
Do u really think Kylo used his father's compassion against him or was Kylo conflicted the majority of the time and only committed to actually killing his father at the last minute? Because one is way more worse than the other! Even the first time in theaters I thought he did it on impulse..But wow that almost makes me rethink Kylo' s motivations. Not quite!! Ugh..Can't wait until after 9 then JJ and Adam can tell is what he was thinking there! Either way I still think he was sorry to have done it
I thought this was a wonderful analysis until you spoiled a major plot point for me in the force awakens which I haven't yet seen. Thanks a lot...... :-(

I think that Han being older than Luke and Leia also adds another layer

"Chewbacca is Han's life partner"
I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT!
Just like Bert and Ernie!
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
Platonic life partners
In for the dime, in for the dollar...
I am not.
My mother hand me tested.
I'm sure your mother also says you're very handsome.
Yeah, she does.
But you take a look at my dad and you get a sense of where her taste in men is at.

One of my favourite characters and your team did an amazing job! I can’t stop coming back to this channel.

I would love to see an analysis of Diana and Steve Trevor's romance to go along with the other Wonder Woman video you did a while back.
Lauren Brown I second this
This channel has the best insights ❤
"The power of human" perfect description of what Star Wars used to be.
Ti My And still is.
+Anthony Clay (Steel Accord) eh
Ti My let’s agree to disagree.
I'd say it still is, but I would agree that they are missing character to represent that completely Han.
Now it’s “the power of strong, independent, fugly, blue haired women”
RIP Star Wars
Amazing, as usual! I freaked out at the notification.
This is the video that made me subscribe. I’m mostly neutral towards Star Wars, but the analysis here was so great that I’m seriously considering going through the original trilogy again. Great job!
Once again love you people
Wait, does this mean we’re going to have a video on Luke and Leia and everyone else? HEEPIE HOORAY
The "secret sauce" was the interaction between the three main characters. Go back and watch the original screen tests, and you'll see what I mean.
This video encapsulates perfectly one of the main traits of a good hero.
Their heart, not how amazing their skills are (though that can help) but how much they can survive and still help those they care for. It is very important that they have vulnerabilities and failings, like we all do, so we can appreciate how incredible it is that they achieve great outcomes.

(Exactly what it was for Chirrut in Rogue One. I still love that movie, though.)
First Game of Thrones now Star Wars video. I love so much your Star Wars content girls. Thank you. Keep sending it.
Also, will make something about any charecter of Westworld?
Han is the matinee idol of the franchise.
Your channel is amazing!
I’d love to see a ScreenPrism exploration of the Star Trek trinity of Kirk + Spock + McKoy!
Ahhhh another great content
LOVE this channel - thanks for another awesome video!

Han was one of the few Balanced ones

Dope af
Han is The Man geat vid on him and can't wait for Solo coming this year =D
He and C3-PO are my ultimate favs ❤
Indy, Han and Jack Burton have been my childhood heroes... dead on Han Solo explanation and why he is the anchor for all of us in that galaxy far far away.
Nice timing ;]
I think I have watched every video on your channel. U guys are great

Great video! 😄
I'm glad you guys made this video beacuse I couldn't stop thinking about that Solo: A Star-Wars Movie Trailer.

I love these videos, please keep up the great work!
BE HUMAN ALWAYS WIN
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME

Han is a man with lack of trust that’s why he seems so self absorbed he does evolve over time but he was taught you can only trust your self because you can’t betray your self but others can betray you but in the end he wants a purpose someone or something to fight for
You guys should have written the last few Star Wars scripts.
Does Han Solo ever say that he was flying the Falcon when it made the Kessel run? Just realized watching your video that moment is a bit vague - I wonder if Disney is gonna establish that it was actually Lando who was piloting the Falcon during this famous Kessel run in the upcoming movie? hmmm
I love your videos!!! :D
Han Solo is just a simple man trying to make his way in the universe
The more I think about it, I realize that Han has a lot in common with Anakin Skywalker. They both grew up as slaves to an alien (Wattle, Lady Proxima) on planets in the Outer Rim (Tattoine, Corellia), they both dreamt of being pilots and grow to be cocky fliers, they both have familiarity with gangsters particularily Hutts, they both demonstrated arrogance, compassion, hot headedness, and a tendancy towards luck to get out of stick situations.

god i love this channel!
Jabba, you’re a wonderful human being
Loved this.
Love your vedios💕
ANALYZE ROCKY’S CHARACTER PLEASE!!
great video! thx for that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Han and Chewie are the story of a man and his dog. Han is, of course, the dog.
8:17 I don't know, you'd think that the main characters beating all the long odds would have the in-universe validation as 'will of the force'
I wonder if it isn't too late to add the recent film " Solo: A Star Wars Story " to this excellent analysis. There will some really great tidbits from that film that would expand Han's journey.
You know you are meant to do great things in pop culture analysis when the word “ramshackle” is said in your work. Thanks fo another great episode. 😇✌️
When han died my dad cried in the theater
Its true that Han Solo is the human factor but C3PO also serves this function.
god i love star wars!
Harry Potter, please!! Also, you're awesome!!
very nicely done. As time as gone I've become more interested in the characters who didn't have the force or or some grand lineage.The soldiers, spies, thieves, pirates, smugglers, henchmen, gangsters they all have a part to some extent in the galaxy.

Some large reaching throughout the watch and some small with less of a internal footprint but without those small parts the large ones wouldn't move or function properly. Those are the characters of the Star Wars saga.
I never liked Han growing up, but I see how the story benefits from his presence.
If only they had email in this galaxy, the story would have lasted about five minutes.
U made me love Han ecen more !
A true anarchist, living by natural law
Click the bowel? Oh, the *BELL*. Got it. (LOL!)
Please,oh please do profiles of Star Trek’s famous captains James T.Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard!
There's a lot of retconning that needs to happen in the new movie tomorrow to make Han's New Hope lines fit into the larger saga. He has to make the kessle run in less than 12 parsecs even though a parsec is a measure of distancr and he has to not believe in the force even though the Jedi were still a thing when he was a kid and even if he didn't remember the Clone Wars, he would certainly have known a lot of people who did.

The world started to suck when Han Solo was no longer beloved.
Han is my favorite character in the original trilogy
Obi wan is my favorite in the prequels
And Finn is my favorite in the new trilogy
Finn do?
Really hope hansolo movie watched this and took notes, might make it better!
Nice
well well well isn't that convenient timing
My favorite character is Luke, but yeah I love Han and this is a great analysis of his character.
"That's not how the Force works!"
Could you please do a video on the original Toy Story? It's my favorite movie, I've seen it at least 60 times, but it's so simple I have a hard time figuring out why it's so great.
❤️Loveeeeeee
Plz plz do a q and a video
When Han died at the hands of Kylo, is where Star Wars died for me (at the hands of Disney).
Something animated please? I'd love to have something like an anime analysis from this channel
Han is hot. I hope the the actor playing young han isn't too far off
RIP Han
It's been over two years since The Force awakens was released but I still get a tear in my eye when I see Han's final scene... GODDAMMIT J.J. WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME!
❤️
Vader literally took out and Army and Han still shot at Lord Vader... Only God has bigger testicles.
You guys should make a video about Indiana Jones
I dislike Han as a character but this was very insightful.
Harrison Ford was sooooo fine😍😤😩
i miss han...
I wonder why the writers didn't mention anything about the devastating effects of long-term cocaine and alcohol abuse on Princess Leia between episodes 6 and 7. Hrmmm...
except the bad guys where in white
Maybe it's because the empire is sold as a force for good in the universe itself (hence the white on the outside of the stormtroopers), but is evil on the inside (why they are black black underneath).
Darth Vader Palpatine Darth Maul Kylo Ren...
They also looked like skeletons.
I'm pretty sure it was in order to avoid racism allegations.
thanks for using the term atheist correctly
*That's not how the force works!*
This video just made me hate The Last Jedi more
Do u really think Kylo used his father's compassion against him or was Kylo conflicted the majority of the time and only committed to actually killing his father at the last minute? Because one is way more worse than the other! Even the first time in theaters I thought he did it on impulse..But wow that almost makes me rethink Kylo' s motivations. Not quite!! Ugh..Can't wait until after 9 then JJ and Adam can tell is what he was thinking there! Either way I still think he was sorry to have done it
Of Course Luke, the Jedi, Han IS the True hero
I thought this was a wonderful analysis until you spoiled a major plot point for me in the force awakens which I haven't yet seen. Thanks a lot...... :-(
Do Dragon ball z
im just gonna say it.
