It is starting to sound like these new movies are just a rehash of the originals… do the legacy characters at least get fitting send offs and keep their legacy intact? Like these new movies CAN’T just undo EVERYTHING from the end of Episode VI… that would baffle me.
Depends on your definition of a “fitting send-off”. Most people agree that Han’s death was done really well: he died at the hands of his evil son Kylo, but it was executed in a really emotional way. Luke’s death is somewhat more controversial: I personally love it, but some people were pissed.
However, Leia’s death is by far the worst: Carrie Fisher ended up dying shortly after Episode 8 wrapped filming, and so Episode 9 was forced to use repurposed deleted scenes from Episode 7 to represent her until they had her die offscreen from old age. It’s a shame, but it was unfortunately necessary.
Also, how are Luke and Han’s interactions? From Han being the skeptic to now having a brother-in-law and sister who are Jedi, I hope that is an interesting subplot with him coming more to terms with the force and how it works.
Unfortunately, that interaction never happened: Luke was only introduced at the very end of Episode 7, and Harrison Ford only agreed to come back if he died by the end of the movie, so the scene of Han being killed by his son happened around 20 minutes before Luke entered the plot. Another plot point necessitated by real life circumstances.
