My favorite part in ANH is when Han Solo dies.
That was my favorite part in ANH too. I love that scene because we can see it coming from a mile away, and it doesn’t force unnecessary emotion on us, because he dies with someone he’s only in one scene with. It’s trivial, but that’s the beauty of it? I mean think of how terrible the carbon freezing scene was, it was probably the worst scene in Empire Strikes Back, because of how connected the characters were, and everything they had gone through and then they are forced to watch Han suffer.
But in ANH, the writers came up with a brilliant idea. If they just call this person Han’s son, despite the two never appearing in any scenes together, it will sap all the emotion and meaning out of his death. That was brilliant wasn’t it?
My least favorite scene in ANH was when Vader kills Obi-Wan. That scene totally blows because it forced unnecessary emotion on us, because Obi dies with someone he’s only in one scene with.
