Probably one of the biggest cameos in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was that of Harrison Ford's Han Solo, and though some don't like this movie, the scene with Han was said to be one of the highlights. Just in, Lucasfilm has released the scene between Kylo and Han to watch online.
Check it out:
At some point, it was said that this vision of Han was actually projected by Leia, and this is what leads to her death in the film. In the end, this seems to just be a memory on Kylo's part; even the lines that Han says are the same ones he uttered to Kylo in The Force Awakens.
With Harrison Ford being pleased with Han's death in TFA, I can only imagine how annoyed he was when he was asked to make a return for The Rise of Skywalker. Then again, with Carrie Fisher having passed, they needed someone to fill in the part of the legacy characters. At this point, you'd think they could have given Lando a larger role. It still hasn't sit well with me that they reused stock footage of Leia for TROS. I mean, there was no way for her to say anything new or meaningul; instead we just got a bunch of generic lines that didn't really mean anything, plus some awkward glances and reactions.
Either way, it looks like Disney is sticking to this version of the movie, and I guess fans are either in or out. Catch Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker when it hits digital on March 17 and Blu-Ray/DVD on March 31.
