I was really looking forward to a young Han Solo movie, expecting something similar to Firefly and more of what we all loved about him in the old movies.
But something has really been bothering me, even though I understand there are implied reasons for it - It seems as though in TFA they wrote him as not really changing that much from what he was before A New Hope....
After Return of the Jedi I was left convinced that he was who he was because he didn't have any other reason to be a 'scoundrel' - but then he found a cause and friends, and love and became a hero.
I loved the novels portrayal of his future but with TFA - it's like all that he did and was in IV, V and VI was just a phase.
And I'm not sure why it bothers me so much because Luke's running away didn't bother me nearly as badly - maybe because he was mirroring Obi-wan?
So now I don't like him as much as I did.
I'm welcoming anyone to convince me otherwise here because I really, really want to look forward to the new Han Solo movie and not just think I'm watching some scoundrel whose going to break Leia's heart by abandoning her when she needs him most.
