There are points of Scruffy's that I agree with, and there are points of SWIU's that I also agree with. I only have a short opinion. If you're going to kill Han off, don't just let him die in carbonite. I wouldn't really call that dying like a man. It's just... opening a box and finding a dead body inside. And like Scruffy said, it makes the entire rescue operation pointless, so that the audience is in a very depressed and defeated state towards the beginning of the movie. Better to save your audience beating to later on. And it also reduces Han's role to absolutely nothing. Have him come out of carbonite alive and then kill him off at some other time after he's had a chance to make himself useful in this movie, by his role against the Death Star or in openly competing against Luke for Leia's affections. Not only does it make his death that much more painful (go to the trouble of rescuing him, and everything's okay, but now it's not), it keeps the rescue mission from being more pointless than it was in the real version.
