Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker: More Details on Han Solo's Alleged Return


[POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER]

Han Solo was killed off in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and with him basically having no Force powers, no one is expecting him to come back as a ghost of any sort. Rumor has it though, that Han will be making one more appearance in this December's The Rise of Skywalker.

The rumor comes from Making Star Wars whose sources say that Harrison Ford is going to be in The Rise of Skywalker, and he'll be playing Han who is in a Force vision that Luke puts on Kylo Ren. Here's the supposed breakdown of the scene:

  • The main sequence takes place between Adam Driver and Harrison Ford or Kylo Ren and Han Solo.
  • One source called it a surprise intervention of sorts.
  • A source that did not work on or see the sequence believed it takes place when Kylo Ren asks the burned Darth Vader helmet to show him the darkness again.
  • Luke Skywalker appears to be the twist in the encounter.
  • The source was paraphrasing but Han Solo tells Ben Solo it isn't too late and the sequence has a tone of forgiveness and understanding to it.
  • He's not a "force ghost" in the classic sense and he's part of a "vision" or "dream" type moment induced by Luke Skywalker.

Take note that none of this is official yet, but seeing as The Force Awakens did give us that vivid Force vision, I don't think it's completely out of place to have Han come back in a type of vision as well.

Seeing that the film is going to have a return from Palpatine, I think it would be fitting to have Han appear at some point in the movie. Granted Carrie Fisher can't be in the film too much, it would be nice to see some more legacy characters making a return. We already know Lando and Luke are coming back. What's one more appearance from Han?

Catch Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in theaters Dec. 20.
