But I think the first has led to the second. The tragedy of losing one or more of their kids caused them to separate and my prediction is they get back together just before Han dies. It will be a very emotional tender moment. Yes, divorce/separation sucks in real life but in a movie it makes for an interesting storyline. I think JJ Abrams is breaking them up because he cares about their characters and relationship, not because he has it out again them. Breaking them up causes more focus on their relationship in TFA.<br /><br />It's not like they don't care about the relationship, it's obviously a crucial point of the story and is 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 Scarlet of a GFFA). It's not interesting to have them together, it's more dramatic to break them up and bring them together again one last time before Han goes off into the sunset.<br /><br />- BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-58181307240000376112015-12-09T13:21:23.807-06:002015-12-09T13:21:23.807-06:00I think it's the same ring.

I'm with you, I get enough reality in reality. And if they are apart too much it would be completely unrealistic that neither of them, especially Han, didn't see anyone else. I don't want to read about that, either. It would also ruin all of the Han and Leia couples merchandise. <br /><br />There is just about no way they would do a friends with benefits scenario. These are also kids movies, so you can't just have Leia shacking up with a smuggler when he comes around.

I really, really don't want to read about their romantic relationships with other people during the time they're separated if they are in fact separated. The EU traditionally seems to be more keen on pairing Leia up with others, but realistically Han will be the one having flings while he and Leia are split up. Leia I see more likely that she just buries herself in her work. I know it's "realistic" that Han would go back to his pre-ANH days of womanizing, but I don't want to read about it. The real world is depressing enough already - in the past few months, at least 8 of my friends have announced divorces. Don't want to read about it in my fandom with my OTP either...<br /><br />- KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-16595968145754634492015-12-09T12:59:33.189-06:002015-12-09T12:59:33.189-06:00I could actually see the second scenario being pla...I could actually see the second scenario being plausible. The first, no. They have too much chemistry and passion between them to ever be "just friends". The second scenario is unromantic in the modern world because it usually involves one person who wants to be in a relationship and one person who's just using the other person for sex. In the Star Wars world though, I could believe a scenario where they had a tragedy (like one of their kids going evil) separate them. They still love each other, but Leia deals with her grief by throwing herself into her work with the Resistance and Han goes back to his old ways of smuggling with Chewie. But they have an "arrangement" where they meet up every so often and spend the night together. They still love each, they just can't be together in the traditional sense.<br /><br />I think I would prefer that to them not having seen each other in 20 years when we see them in TFA and having to read about Leia being courted by some Rebel officer and Han having a string of short lived romances like in the Crispin/Daly books in the new EU.,,<br /><br /><br />- RAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-53682682872087310282015-12-09T07:20:28.961-06:002015-12-09T07:20:28.961-06:00I definitely think they are still in love with eac...I definitely think they are still in love with each other.

What do you guys think of that scenario? Personally, I don't see Han and Leia ever being the chill exes that grab a drink together on occasion. They're both too passionate and emotional for that. Either they're together or they're not, and if they aren't they've cut off contact completely. <br /><br />The other scenario floated is that they're no longer together together but Han stops by the Resistance Base every so often and spends the night with Leia, thus allowing them to keep the spark going while still too much has happened between them for them to have a full blown relationship and now they're both leading separate lives. Again, I might prefer this scenario to the just friends one but...to put a modern day spin on it, I feel like Leia just ends up being in a Friends with Benefis scenario where she's probably only sleeping with Han and Han isn't remaining monogamous and...argh. I just feel like Leia would have too much self respect for that. Sue Zahn did an excellent fanfic with this exact scenario like 20 years ago called Portside Girl and it was really heartbreaking.<br /><br />So yeah. If they HAVE to be split up, I'd prefer they had no contact with each other because they still love each other and it's just too painful to see the other person. What do you guys think?<br /><br />- KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-86347897008331910652015-12-08T20:15:54.118-06:002015-12-08T20:15:54.118-06:00To the poster discussing the publicity shot vs. mo...To the poster discussing the publicity shot vs. movie still (wow there are a lot of you anonymous people) that is just my guess. That looks like a posed photo to me rather than taken right from the movie. I could be wrong. In the trailer his hand is also on the back of her head. Not that this couldn't be a few moments later or whatever, but it's just my interpretation.<br /><br />As for lack of photos of them in general, my thought is this is intentional to keep us from knowing either something specific or just too much in general. Maybe most of her scenes are with him and there aren't more photos because it'd give away too much? Honestly I'm sort of glad we don't have too much of that already, because I don't want to already know every moment they'll be together before I see it. I'd like some surprises. GOOD surprises, hopefully. Then after it comes out we can have all kinds of pictures we hadn't seen.<br /><br />I agree the hug in ROTJ was quite awkward, but Han has no clue what is going on there so I can forgive him a little. I totally agree about Han falling in love with her first and she came around later. We even did a poll on that (can't remember if we did a post too) a while back, and the results should still be in the sidebar, and most people agreed with that.Zyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04860113813294303312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-58803713550804196412015-12-08T20:07:33.659-06:002015-12-08T20:07:33.659-06:00I always felt that their hug in ROTJ after their l...I always felt that their hug in ROTJ after their little argument in the Ewok village (when Leia asks him to hold her) was a little quirky with little emotion on Han's part. Their other embraces were great, except for that one in particular. That is sort of the vibe I get from the above picture, not that it exudes a lack of loving on Han's part.
