If you would read the description of this project you’d see that this was one of the only two things I set in stone from the very beginning. As a result, that comment really has no place here since it isn’t constructive.

That being said, I may as well explain my perspective on the topic. I agree that the Han scene is wonderful on its own right, but I wanted to place particular emphasis on Kylo being the stand-in character for Anakin/Vader in this story. From my perspective, the saga should be entirely about Anakin.

Throughout my version of the novelization I have constantly referenced Kylo’s fascination with Vader. So maybe out of context what I posted doesn’t make much sense, but believe me, there is a personal connection there (at least that’s what Kylo would like to imagine). Besides, Kylo only had one scene talking with Han in TFA. Same as Vader’s mask. So, technically speaking, there was just as much of a connection established for both characters beforehand.
