A Critique of Star Wars: The Force Awakens – The Death of Han Solo – Part 5

This is Part 5 of 6 of a series of videos all about Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

We now approach the scene the most emotionally impactful scene for many at the time, and since. Once a particularly effective closing of the story for a legendary character and now, the disrespectful assassination of a beloved, iconic legacy.
