bro literally the only reason why I still watch force awakens is because of Ren, not the other 2 those are actually garbage and ruin the first one, also it would've been so cool and good for the character if Adam went off script and smiled in an evil way at Rey and Chewbacca.
@@KnightKing_7 well there is also general Haxx. Oh, i'm sorry. There WAS. He disappeared somewhere right after Force Awakens. Of course after that we had his identical clown twin..... but Haxx was hundredth times better.
*Fun Fact:* The only reason why Harrison Ford reprised his role of Han Solo for Episode 7 was because they promised him they would kill off his character. He did not want to a whole new trilogy. He just wanted to say goodbye to the character and give Alden Ehrenreich a turn to play the character without people comparing the two of them…
Which is fine. It’s the b.s. way they killed him off that will forever bother me. He should have gone out in a blaze of glory in the Millennium Falcon in an act of self sacrifice. Instead they gave death to Laura Dern and her stupid purple hair in the next movie. Great job Disney.
@@Unqualifiedmedicalperson Yes, godamnit, yes. Anything is better than this crap. They made a clown out of him before they killed him off. That is what makes this scene suck. Literally character assassination before you assassinate him.
It was actually the most heroic death in all of Star Wars...think about it. Han felt Ben was long gone, but he nevertheless does his best to save him as a promise to Leia. Then he gets impaled by Ben, a sure sign that Ben truly has gone to the dark side...but yet...after Han's initial shock of his pretty violent impalement, in the few moments he has left, he still continues Leia's mission to save Ben by caressing his face with his love and forgiveness. Don't inflict needless hate and pain on yourself, mate, appreciate the nuance of the narrative. This is not my favourite SW movie but damn, this was a powerful albeit tragic end for Han, brilliantly played by Ford and so well shot too.
I saw this movie a year after the death of my father. For whom I had not cried for up to then. I had not been able to, we were very distant in the end. As I walked out of the cinema with my wife, saw the poster and thought back to the scene I broke down and sobbed uncontrollably for a long time. My wife quietly held me while I mourned for my father, and the regret I had we never had a conversation to try and fix things. I am told my name was one of his last words, but he called me like he called me when I was a boy. I didn't get to say goodbye because I was living in another country, but he had cried when he was already sick with cancer and I had told him I was moving with my family and his first male grandchild who also had his name, as I did too. He knew we would not see each other again. The loss, the guilt, the pain. It all just came rushing in that moment, and the floodgates opened and I could not hold them back. The moment when Han reaches out and touches Ben's face, gently caressing it as if saying: "I forgive you, I love you..." Oh man... crying again. After so long. Don't leave things for later, go to your loved ones and fix whatever grievances you might have. You never know when it will be too late.
Nothing about this movie "feels". All this is is a reboot of A New Hope. Everything about this movie is terrible as is the next two. Ford has been wanting Han to die since The Return of the Jedi and was the only way they could get him to do this movie. This isn't Star Wars.
@@mdmyer Darth Vader was killed by the Emperor while saving Luke from his Force Lightning. It shut down the life support systems in his suit. You obviously don't know anything about Star Wars🤣🤣
A robot has secret plans that could help the good guys beat the bad guys and their leader in a black mask, while blowing up a giant ray gun in space. The plot is literally the same. That's what you call a reboot, not a sequel. Taking an old movie and changing just enough to make you pay for the same crap all over again. If you don't see that, then you might wanna stop commenting like you know something🤣🤣
@@Cloud_Strife0811 No shit sherlock ,that was my point. It's not the exact same movie. Anyways, my point was.. since you obviously don't understand it, is that it was very good acting by Adam Driver and Harrison Ford in this particular scene. That's all. You don't need to do a deep dive on how much you hate the Disney Sequels, I didn't particularly care for them either.
This was pretty much my reaction to this scene when I saw it in theaters for the first time. Being so tense about this scene and then shock. No word of a lie, my jaw dropped and I literally couldn't believe what happened for a good minute or so as the movie played, never imagining they'd actually kill Han off. Still, an incredible and powerful scene for sure.
I feel that while they are shocked, it doesn't hit them as hard as it should since most didn't even watch the original movies until they started their channel.
It wasn't a shock for us long time fans either because Ford has been wanting Han to die since The Return of the Jedi and this was the only way they could get him to do this movie. This didn't hit at all because this movie and the next two are terrible.

When I saw this at the theater, in the scene where he confronts Finn and calls him a traitor, I yelled, "Seriously??You just killed your father, asshole!" Also, before he killed him, I was like, "Don't do it. DON'T DO IT!" But he did.
When I watched it in the theater, I was only vaguely aware of the plot after this point because I was literally sobbing so loudly over Han I couldn’t concentrate on anything else.
This is the only way they could get Ford to do this movie. He hated Hans character and has been wanting him to die since Return of the Jedi. There was no feeling in this scene whatsoever. If you got emotional over it, you can't call yourself a Star Wars fan. Us long timers had been expecting this.
I remember this got spoiled for me before I saw the movie, so I had to sit next to my Dad, a big Star Wars fan, at the theater, and not let on. He was so shocked!
Someone did a comic a couple of years ago of toddler Ben meeting Chewie for the first time and Han reassuring Ben that Chewie would never hurt him and then placed the comic next to the moment when Chewie shoots Kylo after he had killed Han. Made me cry just like with this whole scene
Everyone whining that this moment shit on the fans when Harrison Ford was trying to get Lucas to kill Han since Empire. The whole reason for freezing Han in carbonite was bc Ford didn’t know if he wanted to come back for Return of the Jedi, and it was a compromise so that Han could either live or die and Lucas and Ford could negotiate the character’s fate in the interim between films
It would've been so hard for Chewie seeing his friend's son do that. Like, that's a piece of nuance that the movie sadly never addresses, but man - taking the shot at a child you likely helped raise as an uncle... gut wrenching. Or gut-blasting in this case.
When I saw it day 1 in theater… I knew he was going to die. Once I saw Chewbacca was apart from him, I knew that was the moment. Han and Solo are never separated!!
Everyone seems to miss the most critical nuance of this scene. Ben clearly means that to get rid of his pain, to move forward, he is of course talking about shedding his old life as Ben Solo. So he can become Kylo Ren. Killing his father kills his old life. Han doesn't sense this, and hence thinks Ben is talking about walking away from the dark side. But then Ben kills him, thinking it will release him from his emotional attachment to his father, to being Ben Solo. But Han turns this around on him. Through the empathy of a parent, of a Father who will always love his son no matter what. That gentle touch on the face after Ben stabs him, after Ben betrays him shows Ben that his Father forgives him, that he loves him as his son no matter WHAT he does. And that simple, beautiful act, plants the seed of doubt in Ben's mind. It makes him question about whether or not he can ever rid himself of his old self to give himself to the dark side. It plants a seed of doubt of whether that's even what he wants, or if he's just being used by Snoke as Han told him. The body language and acting by Harrison and Adam in this scene is perfect. And while I understand it, it's annoying that a lot of people miss it because they are so caught up in "THEY KILLED HAN WTF!!!". My other regret is that this could have been used as a really interesting way to develop Ben's arch as a character of walking away from the dark side into being something else. They tried to do something with it, but made a conflicting hot mess of Ben's redemption arc in the other movies and wasted this beautiful moment.
Reasons why Natalie Gold rules Everyone else: shocked, sad, surprised, angry Nat: "I'm just not surprised, I'm so remarkably unphased, because it was the most predictable thing"
Well yeah, does anyone actually expect proper subversive cinema from any Star Wars films? The prequels should have thrown those expectations in the trash.
And the only reason Ford agreed to do this movie was if they killed off Han. He hated the character and has been waiting for this since Return of the Jedi.
"Ben, that's his name?" "I'm sad... I wasn't expecting this." "I've got a bad feeling about this!" "NOOOO, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! IT CAN'T BE TRUE!" "Can Leia feel that?" "Smoke is using you. Once he gets what he wants he'll crush you." 😢 I know. You just wanted out. Time to move on. 😎
BTW, Adam Driver is a tall dude. Like, 6'5" ?? And on top of that, he was built. Did you see his physique? Must've been very imposing because I didn't know he was that tall.
The most defining movie trilogy and cultural phenomenon of my childhood with my passion for the characters and story that continued well into adulthood…. And Hans death was emotionless for me . That’s how crappy the sequel trilogy is. The latest smidge of any emotion I had for this franchise was Luke’s appearance in mandalorian.
I remember watching this at Arclight in Hollywood the night it came out. It was in the giant golf ball theater that seats like 2k-3k people. Kyle REN was the coolest character I have ever seen at the start of the movie. Seeing the mask, hearing his voice, the way he took out his lightsaber, the interaction with Poe, and then him stopping the blaster shot. But then he took the mask off and I could about for 3 films is that I’m watching a new episode of “Girls.” And Halloween episode where they all decided to dress up like Star Wars character…😂😂😂
I wish all these reactors knew Has Solo was really killed by Harrison, not by Kylo Ren. Mr Ford is great no doubt, but he hated Solo. There was no other outcome of Star Wars sequel with Ford's Han Solo in it.
He didn't hate Han Solo, he just felt that the character had served it's purpose after Empire. He felt killing Han would give more emotional weight to the story, which is true, but Lucas wanted to keep him in Jedi because Han was a huge merch seller. So they came up with the Carbonite thing as a compromise in case Lucas could convince him to come back. He was presumed dead in story, but since Ford agreed to finish the trilogy, they just said "oh, now he's unfrozen."
I don't care about the CGI. I don't care about practical effects, the main cast, the supporting crew, the robots, the spaceships or anything else: the third Star Wars trilogy is the perfect antithesis of what science fiction should never be by the total absence of the only one thing it needs to exist: script. That's I care. Without a good story, we only will have a good for nothing.
That’s what I thought about the prequels, too. But given the audience that slop has garnered, it won’t get any better. The sequels will get a resurgence, too, and then they’ll just continue to make basic films because that’s what people eat up. The prequels proved that.
Say what you want about Episodes 8 and 9 but I will forever say The Force Awakens was a really good movie. For the first 30 minutes of the movie Kylo REN was the coolest Star Wars character in a long time. That opening scene was a masterpiece. Then they lost me whenever he took his helmet off…
This movie is just a reboot of episode 4. It literally has the same plot. A robot has secret plans that can help the food guys beat the bad guys and their leader in a black mask by blowing up a giant ray gun in space. How can you say this movie is good? It isn't even a sequel, it's a reboot. They changed just enough to make you pay for the same crap all over again and people who don't know any better think they are watching an totally different movie🤣🤣 Cracks me up that people don't see this.
@ well to be fair, I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one saying it’s good. 95% on rotten tomatoes from critics and 90% rating from fans. I would say the majority of people enjoyed it. The only ones who didn’t are the people who either had ridiculous expectations, were nitpicking, or went into the movie already not liking it. It was a good movie that could’ve been a great start to the new trilogy. Unfortunately, the last 2 movies were a let down. Episode 7 could’ve been a completely, brand new story that changed everything and people would’ve said “why would they do this? Why did they change that? This is stupid.” There’s no winning with fans like that…
OK so I wasn't surprised and the way they telegraphed the scene you could see it a mile off which for me took away all but a little bit of the expected impact and I'm not really surprised many people consider this the beginning of the down fall of Star Wars besides the fact this movie was more or less a shot for shot remake of the original, same story notes different situations.
I hated it, sorry. Not trying to troll you... just sharing my reaction. I found all 3 sequels to be utterly rotten. I think it depends on whether or not you grew up with the originals.
@@Trump-iz-Hitler Well, I grew up with the prequels and the OT was shown to me at an early age. I can understand if you don't like them, everyone has a different opinion, as long as you stay objective, that's totally fine.
All this movie is, is a reboot of the first. Literally the same exact plot. A robot has plans that can help the good guys defeat the bad guys .and their leader in a black mask while blowing up a giant ray gun in space. You can't even call this a sequel. They changed just enough to make you pay for the same crap all over again. That's what is known as a reboot. And if you liked this movie, you can't call yourself a Star Wars fan. Objective or not, you can't deny the truth or facts.
@@Cloud_Strife0811 People like you are the last people who can tell others whether they are fans or not. And I don't care what people like you think. I have my opinion about the films and I stand by it. If you can't accept that, that's your problem.
@@lordren94 People like me? Actual fans that have been watching these movies since the 80's? Seems more like a problem that you can't accept the truth or factual info. All I can do is laugh at you.🤣🤣 You don't actually have and opinion. You have an incessant need for the movie to be what you want it to be. You just can't tell the difference because your time spent in an indoctrination center, also known as school. You can only think what you've been taught, so you don't actually have any thoughts of your own, so it's not possible for you to have an opinion. You just have a programmed response.
Exactly just killed Han Solo just like that, Kathleen Kennedy's great idea for a sequel trilogy, end the lives of everyone that made SW in three movies...Han, Luke, Leia (Thats like ending James Gunn ending Henry and Gal's contracts,, the DC Trinity chars)
"Harrison Ford's desire to move away from the Star Wars franchise primarily stemmed from his wish to avoid being typecast as Han Solo. After the original trilogy, he expressed frustration with the character's lack of development and felt that he had outgrown the role.Jan 25, 2019" It's also interesting how "fans" love the original trilogy, but like to watch the prequels, or even the sequels 7, 8 and 9 and then watch the reaction videos only to say something negative or disparaging. Fun fact: Daisy Ridley made Disney billions of 💵💰💰💰 for Disney. BTW, she had no real acting experience. So, guess we all know by now who will be the leading character in at least two more Star Wars films, though they may not be connected to any of the films previously. Enjoy! 😎🇺🇲💰💰💰💰🔵🇬🇧
Really hated this scene. I saw it coming the moment he stepped on that bridge. It didn't feel earned at all. But at least it was a better death than they gave Luke.
These reactors are doing this just for the sake of reacting. This is the only way they could get Ford to do this movie. He's been wanting Han to be killed off since Return of the Jedi. If these people are surprised at that, then they obviously haven't been watching for that long and have no emotional attachment or investment to this franchise at all episodes 7, 8 and 9 are not Star Wars. And all 7 is, is a reboot of episode 4. Same plot with just enough changed to make you pay for the same crap all over again. A robot has secret plans that could help the good guys beat the bad guys and their leader in a black mask by blowing up a giant ray gun in space.🤦
@@raybernal6829it’s always important to remember that no one knows less about Star Wars than the loudest, most aggressively negative SW fans. if you asked any of the people foaming at the mouth about them changing Ki-Adi-Mundi’s birth year prior to the change, they wouldn’t have been able to tell you, but suddenly it’s blasphemy
There was a story here that a good writer and a director planned for two more movies but because of fate both left so a garbage director was hired to wreck the planned story archs after han solos death i wish it had been different the force awakens was leading to a intriguing story we never got😢
This was the moment I knew the people in charge of Star Wars had no idea what they were doing. You can’t kill Han Solo that way…. He has to have one last moment with Leia and chewy before he dies. Instead you stab him and throw him into a pit….. give me a break
I legit wanted to walked out of the last one. I saw it in a packed theater and when Rey said her last name was Skywalker there wasn’t a clapping or cheering. Just pure silence for like 3-5 seconds. Then someone yelled out “oh shut the fck up!” 😂😂😂 It was the loudest the crowd was the entire night…
I saw this episode in the theater and when he killed his father I jumped up and yelled and started to cry last time I cried in theater when it's when I saw Schindler's List
This death was so mishandled. One of our greatest childhood heroes was allowed to fall into some hole with no one to mourn Han Solo’s death. We got to see our characters mourn Qui Gon, Padme, Yoda, Obi Wan and even Anakin Darth Vader but not Han Solo.
Besides the terrible story of the new movies, the biggest upset for me, was that they never reunited the old crew. Now we'll never get it and I'm not sure I can forgive them for that.
Yup. Way to ruin Star Wars with the Rey garbage. Disney should have at least tried to stick to George Lucas' story model for what happened after the Empire's fall. To use Joe Biden's phrase, these episodes were TRASH. Not because of the actors, but the writers and director(s). This trilogy should be reduced to a Force Dream that never came to pass. Get back to real Star Wars content. If Harrison Ford only reprised his role so he can kill off the character, then you should have told Ford to F* off, we will do something else.
Okay, I need to clear something up from my replies in the comment section. The death itself wasn't stupid. It was the execution. With the orignal cast, it would've been so much more impactful. Can you guys now stop butchering me in the replies?
No he doesn’t lmao, that guy still gets merch money and he doesn’t have to deal with annoying nerds that don’t even like the franchise. His baby is that toy money and Disney still gives him his cut of the billions.
......killing my favorite character of the franchise. They did Han Solo dirty. I mean sure, Harrison no longer wanted to play his character, that's completely 100% okay, but to kill his character off to support woman rights and because he didn't want to .....nah....this is why I disregard all the sequels.
Killing off such an iconic Star Wars character in the most pathetic way made me lose my interest in Disney's Star Wars completely. I'll stick with everything before Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm

The body language and acting by Harrison and Adam in this scene is perfect. And while I understand it, it's annoying that a lot of people miss it because they are so caught up in "THEY KILLED HAN WTF!!!".
My other regret is that this could have been used as a really interesting way to develop Ben's arch as a character of walking away from the dark side into being something else. They tried to do something with it, but made a conflicting hot mess of Ben's redemption arc in the other movies and wasted this beautiful moment.
Reasons why Natalie Gold rules
Everyone else: shocked, sad, surprised, angry
Nat: "I'm just not surprised, I'm so remarkably unphased, because it was the most predictable thing"
Too bad she does have witch cackle for laughter
Well yeah, does anyone actually expect proper subversive cinema from any Star Wars films? The prequels should have thrown those expectations in the trash.
And the only reason Ford agreed to do this movie was if they killed off Han. He hated the character and has been waiting for this since Return of the Jedi.
Like Natalie said, it would have been more of a shocker if he had gone home with Solo.
"Ben, that's his name?" "I'm sad... I wasn't expecting this." "I've got a bad feeling about this!" "NOOOO, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! IT CAN'T BE TRUE!" "Can Leia feel that?" "Smoke is using you. Once he gets what he wants he'll crush you." 😢 I know. You just wanted out. Time to move on. 😎
Can you do Kong using the baby kong as a pair of nunchucks?
How dare he kill Chewbacca's pet!
I use to tear with sadness like a bitch when Han Solo die
But Ford wanted this to happen so
"That's how they kill Han Solo?"
Uh.. talk to Luke.
BTW, Adam Driver is a tall dude. Like, 6'5" ?? And on top of that, he was built. Did you see his physique? Must've been very imposing because I didn't know he was that tall.
Went to school with him, he's only about 6'2, but like Vader, he had lifts in his boots that made him about an inch and a half taller.
I hope my son doesn’t do this to me.
The most defining movie trilogy and cultural phenomenon of my childhood with my passion for the characters and story that continued well into adulthood….
And Hans death was emotionless for me .
That’s how crappy the sequel trilogy is.
The latest smidge of any emotion I had for this franchise was Luke’s appearance in mandalorian.
I remember watching this at Arclight in Hollywood the night it came out. It was in the giant golf ball theater that seats like 2k-3k people. Kyle REN was the coolest character I have ever seen at the start of the movie. Seeing the mask, hearing his voice, the way he took out his lightsaber, the interaction with Poe, and then him stopping the blaster shot. But then he took the mask off and I could about for 3 films is that I’m watching a new episode of “Girls.” And Halloween episode where they all decided to dress up like Star Wars character…😂😂😂
That was the point of Kylo Ren's whole character. He's a sad little boy playing dress-up.
I wish all these reactors knew Has Solo was really killed by Harrison, not by Kylo Ren. Mr Ford is great no doubt, but he hated Solo. There was no other outcome of Star Wars sequel with Ford's Han Solo in it.
He didn't hate Han Solo, he just felt that the character had served it's purpose after Empire. He felt killing Han would give more emotional weight to the story, which is true, but Lucas wanted to keep him in Jedi because Han was a huge merch seller. So they came up with the Carbonite thing as a compromise in case Lucas could convince him to come back. He was presumed dead in story, but since Ford agreed to finish the trilogy, they just said "oh, now he's unfrozen."

I don't care about the CGI. I don't care about practical effects, the main cast, the supporting crew, the robots, the spaceships or anything else: the third Star Wars trilogy is the perfect antithesis of what science fiction should never be by the total absence of the only one thing it needs to exist: script. That's I care. Without a good story, we only will have a good for nothing.
That’s what I thought about the prequels, too.
But given the audience that slop has garnered, it won’t get any better. The sequels will get a resurgence, too, and then they’ll just continue to make basic films because that’s what people eat up. The prequels proved that.
Wow there are some babies in this section. This moment was needed. Now every movie after episode 7 in the trilogy, varies from bad to trash
Whatever happened to Matt the technician
Say what you want about Episodes 8 and 9 but I will forever say The Force Awakens was a really good movie. For the first 30 minutes of the movie Kylo REN was the coolest Star Wars character in a long time. That opening scene was a masterpiece. Then they lost me whenever he took his helmet off…
This movie is just a reboot of episode 4. It literally has the same plot. A robot has secret plans that can help the food guys beat the bad guys and their leader in a black mask by blowing up a giant ray gun in space. How can you say this movie is good? It isn't even a sequel, it's a reboot. They changed just enough to make you pay for the same crap all over again and people who don't know any better think they are watching an totally different movie🤣🤣 Cracks me up that people don't see this.
@ well to be fair, I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one saying it’s good. 95% on rotten tomatoes from critics and 90% rating from fans. I would say the majority of people enjoyed it. The only ones who didn’t are the people who either had ridiculous expectations, were nitpicking, or went into the movie already not liking it. It was a good movie that could’ve been a great start to the new trilogy. Unfortunately, the last 2 movies were a let down. Episode 7 could’ve been a completely, brand new story that changed everything and people would’ve said “why would they do this? Why did they change that? This is stupid.” There’s no winning with fans like that…
@@Cloud_Strife0811 Put a sock in it Final Fantasy kid.
Han abs Leia had 3 kids twins Jacen & Jaina and Anakin Luke and Mara Kade had Ben Skywalker that us canon screw Disney saying it’s not
Harrison Ford said in interviews the only way he would return to the franchise is if they killed Han.
OK so I wasn't surprised and the way they telegraphed the scene you could see it a mile off which for me took away all but a little bit of the expected impact and I'm not really surprised many people consider this the beginning of the down fall of Star Wars besides the fact this movie was more or less a shot for shot remake of the original, same story notes different situations.
As Adam Driver said! Wokeness killed Han Solo
Had nothing to do with that, wtf? Ford has wanted to kill Han off since Empire Strikes Back.
An emotional scene from a good movie😁
I hated it, sorry. Not trying to troll you... just sharing my reaction. I found all 3 sequels to be utterly rotten. I think it depends on whether or not you grew up with the originals.
@@Trump-iz-Hitler Well, I grew up with the prequels and the OT was shown to me at an early age. I can understand if you don't like them, everyone has a different opinion, as long as you stay objective, that's totally fine.
All this movie is, is a reboot of the first. Literally the same exact plot. A robot has plans that can help the good guys defeat the bad guys .and their leader in a black mask while blowing up a giant ray gun in space. You can't even call this a sequel. They changed just enough to make you pay for the same crap all over again. That's what is known as a reboot. And if you liked this movie, you can't call yourself a Star Wars fan. Objective or not, you can't deny the truth or facts.
@@Cloud_Strife0811 People like you are the last people who can tell others whether they are fans or not. And I don't care what people like you think. I have my opinion about the films and I stand by it. If you can't accept that, that's your problem.
@@lordren94 People like me? Actual fans that have been watching these movies since the 80's? Seems more like a problem that you can't accept the truth or factual info. All I can do is laugh at you.🤣🤣 You don't actually have and opinion. You have an incessant need for the movie to be what you want it to be. You just can't tell the difference because your time spent in an indoctrination center, also known as school. You can only think what you've been taught, so you don't actually have any thoughts of your own, so it's not possible for you to have an opinion. You just have a programmed response.
Exactly just killed Han Solo just like that, Kathleen Kennedy's great idea for a sequel trilogy, end the lives of everyone that made SW in three movies...Han, Luke, Leia (Thats like ending James Gunn ending Henry and Gal's contracts,, the DC Trinity chars)
Harrison Ford wanted Han Solo to die.
The Sequels > the Prequels. The Originals are still the best though, by far.
this could have been the start of an insane new era of star wars, its heartbreaking that this movie lead to what it did in the next two
one!
11:25 were you surprised????
Not at all. She was showing all of us how far in she can get it.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Harrison Ford's desire to move away from the Star Wars franchise primarily stemmed from his wish to avoid being typecast as Han Solo. After the original trilogy, he expressed frustration with the character's lack of development and felt that he had outgrown the role.Jan 25, 2019" It's also interesting how "fans" love the original trilogy, but like to watch the prequels, or even the sequels 7, 8 and 9 and then watch the reaction videos only to say something negative or disparaging. Fun fact: Daisy Ridley made Disney billions of 💵💰💰💰 for Disney. BTW, she had no real acting experience. So, guess we all know by now who will be the leading character in at least two more Star Wars films, though they may not be connected to any of the films previously. Enjoy! 😎🇺🇲💰💰💰💰🔵🇬🇧
The moment when Star Wars Died!!!
Disney and Kathleen Kennedy killed off all the characters.
Really hated this scene. I saw it coming the moment he stepped on that bridge. It didn't feel earned at all. But at least it was a better death than they gave Luke.
Dumbest thing in star wars never forgive Kennedy
all low reaction. cuz they dont know han solo from ep4,5and 6 probably just went through ep7
These reactors are doing this just for the sake of reacting. This is the only way they could get Ford to do this movie. He's been wanting Han to be killed off since Return of the Jedi. If these people are surprised at that, then they obviously haven't been watching for that long and have no emotional attachment or investment to this franchise at all episodes 7, 8 and 9 are not Star Wars. And all 7 is, is a reboot of episode 4. Same plot with just enough changed to make you pay for the same crap all over again. A robot has secret plans that could help the good guys beat the bad guys and their leader in a black mask by blowing up a giant ray gun in space.🤦
The star wars community don't accept them
Star Wars community is lame though.
@@deckzone3000fr like that’s a badge of honor lol, the Star Wars community is insufferable
One of the many stupid decisions in this trilogy
Ford literally only agreed to return if they killed Han. He’s been tired of the character since 1980 and has never hidden it
You do know Harrison Ford only agreed to do Ep7... 🙄
@@raybernal6829it’s always important to remember that no one knows less about Star Wars than the loudest, most aggressively negative SW fans. if you asked any of the people foaming at the mouth about them changing Ki-Adi-Mundi’s birth year prior to the change, they wouldn’t have been able to tell you, but suddenly it’s blasphemy
@@raybernal6829 Not saying that he shouldn't have died. I was saying there was a better way to handle it.
@@EntertainmentTalker22 Harrison wanted it to happen, heck he even wanted Han to die in Return of the Jedi
kylo didn’t kill han solo. wokeness killed han solo.
Adam Driver was feeling like a Marine in this scene! He actually was in the Marine Corps.
There was a story here that a good writer and a director planned for two more movies but because of fate both left so a garbage director was hired to wreck the planned story archs after han solos death i wish it had been different the force awakens was leading to a intriguing story we never got😢
I walked out of the theater. Disney and Ford bullshit.
This was the moment I knew the people in charge of Star Wars had no idea what they were doing. You can’t kill Han Solo that way…. He has to have one last moment with Leia and chewy before he dies. Instead you stab him and throw him into a pit….. give me a break
Harrison was right. Han should have died in the original trilogy. At least he didn’t have to endure the next two shit shows after this one. 😂
Why does the thumbnail say Episode 1 The Phantom Menace?
This wasn't the death of Han Solo, it was the death of Star Wars.
Nope
Nope, not by miles…
Exaggerate much?
It’s a whole damn universe, characters come and go!
@@JamailvanWestering Woke characters come, and great characters go. Disney has destroyed one of the most valuable IPs in history.
@@Tijuanabill poor racist misogynist
@@Tijuanabill Absolutely right
I truly hated the sequels
I legit wanted to walked out of the last one. I saw it in a packed theater and when Rey said her last name was Skywalker there wasn’t a clapping or cheering. Just pure silence for like 3-5 seconds. Then someone yelled out “oh shut the fck up!” 😂😂😂 It was the loudest the crowd was the entire night…
I saw this episode in the theater and when he killed his father I jumped up and yelled and started to cry last time I cried in theater when it's when I saw Schindler's List
Damn, this trilogy sucked so freaking bad.
Disney just shitting on its fans.
Ok chill Homie
You do know Harrison Ford only agreed to do Ep7....
@@austinpena5605 *Homie.
@@drumnbassdan thank you
Nope
This death was so mishandled. One of our greatest childhood heroes was allowed to fall into some hole with no one to mourn Han Solo’s death. We got to see our characters mourn Qui Gon, Padme, Yoda, Obi Wan and even Anakin Darth Vader but not Han Solo.
Besides the terrible story of the new movies, the biggest upset for me, was that they never reunited the old crew.
Now we'll never get it and I'm not sure I can forgive them for that.
Meaningless, disgraceful death. Never should have happened, and never having Luke, Han and Leia on screen once is unforgivable.
It wasn't Kylo Ren that killed Han Solo. It was wokeness that killed Han Solo and the entire Star Wars franchise. I hope they're happy.
The sequels are not canon movies
Cope
Not in my head canon, but in Disney's they are. Kathleen Kennedy must have nudes of Yoda with a goat.
Yes they are
Bro what are your playlists 💀
Thus ended the Star Wars we knew and loved.😢😡
Nah the prequels did.
these youtuber don't have the starwars knowledge and roots like we have, the ones who watched the first trilogy in the movie theater or vhs
You mean they aren't grandparents?
Yup. Way to ruin Star Wars with the Rey garbage. Disney should have at least tried to stick to George Lucas' story model for what happened after the Empire's fall. To use Joe Biden's phrase, these episodes were TRASH. Not because of the actors, but the writers and director(s). This trilogy should be reduced to a Force Dream that never came to pass. Get back to real Star Wars content. If Harrison Ford only reprised his role so he can kill off the character, then you should have told Ford to F* off, we will do something else.
Okay, I need to clear something up from my replies in the comment section. The death itself wasn't stupid. It was the execution. With the orignal cast, it would've been so much more impactful. Can you guys now stop butchering me in the replies?
To this day, George Lucas regrets selling his baby to Disney
No he doesn’t lmao, that guy still gets merch money and he doesn’t have to deal with annoying nerds that don’t even like the franchise.
His baby is that toy money and Disney still gives him his cut of the billions.
These new Star Wars movies have sucked so bad
Cope
Han turned it on himself so Snopes wouldn't kill Ben. People need to chill.
🤦♂️
......killing my favorite character of the franchise. They did Han Solo dirty. I mean sure, Harrison no longer wanted to play his character, that's completely 100% okay, but to kill his character off to support woman rights and because he didn't want to .....nah....this is why I disregard all the sequels.
Killing off such an iconic Star Wars character in the most pathetic way made me lose my interest in Disney's Star Wars completely.
I'll stick with everything before Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm
This scene, to me, was the death of hope for the entire sequel trilogy.
Worst part - the tv-series now claim this was easy to heal from. Disney shows suck.
We don't claim them as fans in this video
so fake reactions... i can fake better :) ohh sorry :(((((( :P
