The part that I hate the most in the movie is when Han Solo (Harrison Ford) gets killed. The way this scene plays out is when Rey (Daisey Ridley) gets captured by the First Order and Han Solo, Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), and Finn (John Boyega) have to go to Starkiller Base to rescue her and deactivate the shield to the reactor of the Ion cannon well they all go deactivate the shield and then they all find Rey well after they find her they're about to leave in the Falcon well when they're on the outside of the base there's a huge battle between Tie Fighters and X-Wings and the Resistance is not in a good spot of winning. Han realizes they can't leave and he tells Rey and Finn his friend (Chewbacca) has a bag full of explosives so they run back into the base to set them off. So Rey and Finn hacks into the system so Han and Chewie can get in and once they're in Han tells Chewie they can set of the explosives on every other column of the hanger well Chewbacca in his own language suggests that he can set them off at the upper level and Han can stay on the lower level and set them off. Han agrees and tells Chewie when they're done they'll meet back where they came in and gives Chewie the detonator. Well they start planting the bombs and Han looks up and he sees Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) walking on a bridge to another section in the base Han walks onto the bridge and shouts BEN! Kylo Ren turns around and answers calmly, Han Solo I've been waiting for this day for a long time and Han tells him to take off the mask and he doesn't need it and once he takes it off that's the first time he's seen his son in a long time. Then they go on about how they miss him and once Snoke gets what he wants he'll crush you and Kylo says he wants to be free of his pain and he knows what he has to do but he doesn't know if he has the strength to do it and asks for Han's help and he says yes..anything and Kylo drops his mask and takes out his lightsaber and hands it out to Han and he grabs onto it and Kylo closes his eyes and shoves it into Han. Rey screams NO and Chewbacca roars into the air and Kylo looks at Han and says thank you and Han touches his son's face for the last time and falls off the bridge and once he falls they cut to a scene to Leia (Carrie Fisher) feeling Han's dead and then they cut back and show Chewbacca shooting Kylo Ren Chewie doesn't kill him but he really messes Kylo Ren up. I know this is a really sad scene in the movie but they did it so well like with the lighting because once Han walks on the bridge with Kylo Han has a blue light reflection on him and Kylo has a red light reflection and as the scene progresses the blue light on Han fades away and they both are red and that's when you know Han Solo will die and you don't want him to but you just know its gonna happen and the once they did kill him off you just see Chewie go to all out overkill shoots Kylo Ren and kills a crap tun of Stormtroopers and blows up the hanger. So extremely sad scene but still very well done. R.I.P Han Solo.
