I apologise if there’s already a thread for this, but I did a quick google and didn’t see one. It’s well known that Harrison Ford thought Han sacrificing his life for the Rebellion in Return of the Jedi would be a fitting end to the character arc of selfishness to selflessness begun in 1977 (or maybe he was already fed up of acting in Star Wars films!). Was the character of Han served well enough in ROTJ or would this have been a needed boost of high-stakes and gravitas to the film?
