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.The scene wasn’t emotional because of Vader/Obi-Wan, it was emotional because of Luke/Obi-Wan. They had a lot of history together, on-screen, and Obi-Wan was Luke’s mentor.
That’s fair, but it doesn’t have to be on-screen to be effective. The effect that Kylo’s turn had on Han and Leia is obvious and we don’t need to see scenes between them and Kylo to understand it.
Plus, the scene with Han and Kylo features two good actors doing some good acting. It doesn’t work for you, but it worked for me.
