I don't know where they "should be" because I don't think it needed to go on. The characters and their arcs reached their conclusion. I don't need "more."


I'd stop thinking about it if you aren't interested in it. Unless you enjoy telling people they are wrong to like something then proceed.

Nah. We do believe he could be. We do believe he was. And we do believe, and find it totally plausible and okay that things changed.

But why is that interesting to you? How is the way it was handled interesting to you? You are simply told all of this in a few lines of dialogue (because Abrams is a hack). Anything could be interesting I suppose, but this isn't. And its pretty obvious that this bare bones backstory only exists to reset the the world to pre-Jedi, so fanboys can rehash the same shit over again.

Plausibility is not the issue here. Get past that.

Ultimately Han's role in this movie was to serve the new characters and it did it very well in my opinion.

That Han's arc was that he fell in love and settled down?

What a boring character

that was what I found when I went looking for what LV thought Han's arc was. You haven't mentioned anything

who said it was interesting? We accept it because it is plausible and that's all that is really needed.

Why is everyone making these grand assumptions about what other people are thinking? We're not even arguing about the same things anymore.
