7. Han Solo – Son Becomes Kylo Ren, Who Cares?
A big part of the story within the story in The Force Awakens is the fact that Han Solo and Princess Leia’s son, Ben Solo (aka Kylo Ren), is our new Darth Vader wannabe. Han Solo has parted ways with Leia, much of it apparently having to do with their son being a Jedi-in-the-making who defects to the Dark Side. However, Solo’s excuse for going back to hustling in the galaxy and forgoing his family and son as if they meant nothing is quite confusing. He was ultimately heroic, overcoming his youthful ways. He fell in love with Leia and they had a child together. Then he just bolts? It’s not like Han Solo is a professional athlete who has 10 baby mamas. The lack of remorse he (and frankly Leia) show over their son being wrapped up in the greatest evil in the world is a major turn off. It’s a complete disregard for Solo as a parent and makes him look foolish at best. Where is the emotion J.J?
