Han is kind of like Obi-Wan. He’s there to usher our heroes into this new world and to give us some backstory. Obi-Wan told us about how Vader and the Empire destroyed the Jedi Knights and Han told us about how Luke’s Academy ended up going to shit.

She could fly Han’s ship better than he could. She could repair it faster and better than he could.

Except for when she nearly got them all killed in the beginning. No, that never happened at all.

Han didn’t mentor her in anything.

I don’t remember me saying that. I remember saying

There was no chemistry, because Han didn’t have a role in the film

There was hardly any chemistry because the film is fast paced so there was hardly any time to develop anything that would effect most people. Even myself

He showed up so you could go “oh there’s Han Solo, I love that guy!”

Although I don’t see this as entirely the case, so what?

There was a moment where Han asked Rey to join his crew, and I thought that was a good scene between them, but it got squashed by her refusal.

It would have been so much more effective if her character had wanted to get off Jakku,

So I guess those markings on her wall don’t mean shitall. The only reason she declined was obviously because of her family

and a backstory of her loneliness had been played up leading to that moment

They could have done more with this but you still get the impression that she’s very lonely. That’s the impression I got from the “A day in the life of Rey” scenes

and then she accepted Han’s offer. That would have created a far more significant bond between the two of
them.

Not by much but it would help their growing bond but it does create a problem…for the nitpickers at least. If Rey were to say yes people would complain about how she just forgot about her family.
