The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
If you are saying Jedi should have been the end of Star Wars and any continuation ruined the fairy tale then that's fine but if you are going to continue with those characters where should Han be thematically?
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.

The fact that you guys find it so hard to believe that Han could actually, genuinely be happily in love and not want to keep smuggling for criminals probably exposes the fundamental clash in how we're viewing this.
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.

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