In my mind, Han showing up is simply the visual representation of Ben’s inner monologue - he’s not actually there. The scene is just for the purpose of filming something visually. “Leia channeling the Force into a medal that Han wore for 45 seconds one time 30 years ago, in order to project a conscious, sentient image of her dead husband to their son, who is halfway across the galaxy, several hours after her own death (because Finn and Poe have managed to fix the busted, crashed Falcon, leave Endor, and get all the way back to the Resistance before we see Kylo again)”…yeah, I don’t buy it.
If you wanted a visual metaphor for Han, why not use the dice? You know, the dice that were used throughout the previous movie to represent Han?
Did you see my video explaining this exact situation? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueu_fV8lbac
You’re completely on my wavelength
YES! Oh man, the dice work so well there. It’s not even implausible with the fake ones disappearing on Crait. After the First Order captured the Falcon (the last place we saw the real dice), wouldn’t Ben have taken them from the ship?
I’m not quite as sold about some of the voice over - Leia talking to Rey as her son is dying feels a bit off to me, and Han’s dialogue about “what [Rey] stood for” doesn’t quite seem to work in this context; but I do like the idea of Ben having some sort of internal monologue before reviving Rey - perhaps “memory” clips, rather than “Force Ghost conversations”? (Han wasn’t really that in tune with the Force anyway.)
