I’m warming to the idea of this being Han’s funeral. Does this mean we’re going to Corellia?! I’d really love that. I’m not itching to see Tatooine or Bespin again any time soon, but it would be cool if the ST takes us to some OT planets that were name dropped but never seen rather than sticking to completely new places like TFA did.
That’s something I’d love to see too, but I’m wondering why Han would warrant a big fancy funeral filled with gangsters. Was he really that we’ll respected a smuggler? Then again we don’t know exactly what he’s been up to in the thirty years between ROTJ and TFA.
He’s still the guy who helped Luke blow up the Death Star.
He also was instrumental in disabling the deflector shield in the Battle of Endor. As far as I’m concerned Han deserves a goddamn statue.
Oh sure, he definitely deserve a big funeral. But going off my assumption that these aliens looks like gangsters/criminals it seems weird that they would give him a big funeral. The Resistance giving him a big funeral, that makes sense, but these guys doesn’t exactly look like rebels or politicians (not to me anyway). I also doubt that Leia would invite a bunch of criminals to Han’s funeral. Unless of course they are the ones who eventually cause the trouble that will undoubtedly happen.
