It doesn't have to be one or the other. <br /><br />Even in fanfic I and others have written, this was an interesting topic to explore. Leia learning to balance the two, and learning that she can't be "all in" on either side and needs to learn to make time for the important things. <br /><br />That said, my bigger problem with the whole idea is that it, like the idea of Han just going back to what he was doing anyway, completely negates Leia's character arc from the first movies. She is a devoted public servant who finally learns to open her heart and let love in. It did NOT require completely giving everything else up, more just being willing to step aside and do things for herself sometimes rather than always for the sake of others. You can't just turn around and be like, just kidding, remember how she sort of changed there? She didn't really, instead she is exactly the same and here she is again having exactly the same problems all over again. Isn't that interesting? <br /><br />I'm having a bad day.

JJ Abrams isn't having them broken up because he doesn't like their characters or relationship - just the opposite, he's having them be divorced so that when they meet up their scenes will be explosive and interesting. Do we really want a rehash of the EU where the only scenes they have together will just be them discussing boring war logistics? Yes, divorce sucks in real life but in a movie it will make for an emotional storyline to have Han and Leia separated and them reconciling over the course of the movie before Han goes off into the sunset one last time. Just like Indy/Marion in KOTC.<br /><br />It's not like they don't care about the relationship, it's obviously a crucial point of the storyline and being handled with great care. Think of it like if a sequel came out where Rhett and Scarlet reunited with each other (Kasdan has always referred to Han and Leia as the Rhett and Scarlett in a GFFA).<br /><br />-B<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-87991178288729841322015-12-11T11:47:33.387-06:002015-12-11T11:47:33.387-06:00I have the book.

I believe that this means that they're together. Otherwise, why show them so close to each other and side by side?<br /><br />In that control room shot in one of the tv spots, Han is next to Leia, and C3PO is on the other side of her. That's symbolic of him being her "right hand man." After all, 3CPO is on the other side of her, and he's been with her for years apparently, too. If he wasn't part of the resistance, why would he be right next to Leia with all of the resistance members? Why would the other resistance members let him in on the meeting if he wasn't married/with Leia or part of the resistance/aligned with it in some way?<br /><br />Besides, Empire magazine said that Han was Leia's partner.iluvkoalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064875064521697144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-46793403148412254272015-12-10T23:02:28.563-06:002015-12-10T23:02:28.563-06:00Hmm, but he was with Leia, wouldn't he know wh...Hmm, but he was with Leia, wouldn't he know where the Resistance base is?
