I never cared for the 'we're home' line. Even in the trailers that one never moved me.

And I don't think it's fair to say he's more interested. The ship is safe. His relationship with Leia is damaged and he thinks his son is beyond redemption (but he trusts/cares enough for Leia and his son to risk his life to try anyway).

It's fair to say if you look at Ford's performance, the script, the importance the movie gives to his ship, etc. Again, we are simply told his relationship with Leia is damaged, not shown (and when they reconnect its treated like they had a little spat and everything is patched up). Same with his son. In contrast, Han finding his ship is treated like finding the Holy Grail (because spaceships sell toys, not space princesses). Stop looking at it merely from a plot perspective.

I didnt get the sense that everything was patched up. Im not sure we saw the same movie. They were happy to see each other but i dont think they were about to live happily ever after.

Han was like "hey" and Leia was like "oh hey, guy I slept with that one time a long time ago. How's it going, brah?" and han was "good. good." then she was like "hey remember that kid we had? Could you go get him?" and han was like "yeah sure no problem"

the first thing after the rebellion ship lands, Han is looking past all of the people piling out of it looking for Leia. I think your version covers that, though.

Resistance ship, Mecca. It's the resistance, not the rebellion.

you need to learn some resistance from correcting people; you need a teacher.

have you ever loved someone that you know you can't be around because its better for the both of you?

yes! its immensely painful. Someone should make a movie like that. With characters that resemble real people and everything. It can still have laser swords, though. I'm not knocking the laser swords at all.

so your problem is that they didn't film that story?
