Mostly agreeing with TMBTM. I almost wish that Leia and Han weren't even going to be in these new films, I'm not really interested in their 'family.' What would be more interesting, however, is if they didn't make a family. To me Han doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would get married (he seems even less likely than Indy to commit to a relationship, honestly), and he most certainly does not seem like the type of guy who would have kids. 

I agree.  It would be nice to see him again, but only briefly and not as a family guy.  Because Zahn's EU is my personal canon, I've accepted that they're married, kids, etc.  However, Han works away from her for the bulk of the stories anyway.  That may have been Zahn's way of addressing those same desires.

He doesn't have a terribly large role in the Zahn universe anyway, so it's not really an issue.  The bulk of the Zahn EU is Luke and Mara, which is just fine with me.  Their tempestuous-to-amicable relationship in the first several novels is much more interesting to me than anything Han\Leia.
