I guess they were more for a comedy scene than for character consistency, which is something not everyone liked (including myself), but it’s not a crime either.I think him trying to worm his way out of a situation like he did in STAR WARS and like he did in Return of The Jedi is consistent with his character. They opted to do both and I think it worked fine.
By consistent with SW you mean him being a cold-blooded cowboy, and consistent with ROTJ being playful?
If so, I say he’s clearly not cold-blooded in TFA
No I mean him trying to talk his way out of a situation. He’s not supposed to be cold blooded because him going from a cold blooded and selfish person with a good heart to an actual good person was his arc in the OT
I remember him being either serious or playful yet scared to death in that kind of situations throughout the trilogy.
Which scenes are you referring to? I could be wrong, but as I said I don’t feel there’s much consistency with Han’s character in that scene.
Han Solo: Together again, huh?
Luke: Wouldn’t miss it.
Han Solo: How we doin’?
Luke: Same as always.
Han Solo: That bad, huh?
C-3PO: His high exaltedness, the Great Jabba the Hutt, has decreed that you are to be terminated immediately.
Han Solo: Good, I hate long waits.
C-3PO: You will therefore be taken to the Dune Sea, and cast into the pit of Carkoon, the nesting place of the all-powerful Sarlaac.
Han Solo: Doesn’t sound so bad.
C-3PO: In his belly you will find a new definition of pain and suffering as you are slowly digested over a thousand years.
Han Solo: On second thought, let’s pass on that, huh?

the more some people are trying to defend the worst parts of this movie, the dumber it goes…
Even if you disagree with my points I think trying to make an argument is far better than just being condescending. Though I’d rather someone else try to make your points for you. Saves me the trouble of trying to decipher your statements.
