Star Wars: The Last Jedi secretly revealed Han Solo's vendetta against the First Order, but you could be forgiven for not realizing it. Rian Johnson's controversy Star Wars The sequel is often criticized for relying too much on the story of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. There's an old saying that the devil is in the details - but in this case, much of the continuity is also.
Take, for example, the death of Han Solo. Han sacrificed himself on a mission to rescue Rey from the First Order, taking the opportunity to confront his son. The scene was moving, with a beloved member of the Star Wars cast of the original trilogy dying at the hands of Kylo Ren. But The Last Jedi subtly gave Han his revenge.
'Han Says Hi' is the perfect revenge
Don't mess with Han Solo
The Last Jedi opens with the Resistance fleeing the First Order. Starkiller Base may have been destroyed, but the First Order knows that the Resistance is based in D'Qar and that an enemy fleet is on the way. The Resistance hastily prepares a diversion to give them a chance to escape, which involves a bombardment of the approaching Star Destroyers. One of the bombs contains text written in the fictional language of Aurebesh.
The text is impressive. He simply says: "Han says hi."In-universe, someone from the Resistance actually took the time to add these words - even during a hasty evacuation. This is not only appropriate revenge for Han, but also an important indication that Han's death inspired the Resistance. They sought revenge him, and they continued to fight in his honor.
Han was a legend and wasn't just mourned by Leia
Han Solo inspired the Resistance
It's so easy to forget that Han wasn't just mourned by Leia. As seen in The Force AwakensHan was a galactic legend; even someone like Rey, who grew up on the arid planet Jakku, has heard stories of his adventures. No doubt those who knew Kylo Ren's true identity felt it highlighted Han's heroism, because he came out facing his own son.
This was just one of the ways the galaxy continued to honor Han Solo after his death. The destruction of Starkiller Base caused the planetary superweapon to transform into a new star as it imploded, and the star was named "Solo" in Han's honor. Star Wars: The Last Jedi It may have been the start of Han's revenge, but he would be remembered in many different ways.
In the second part of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, General Leia Organa leads the Resistance forces against the First Order. Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker struggles to accept his past failures, while Rey encourages him to train her in the Force and join the resistance. Culminating in a massive battle between the two armies, The Last Jedi raises the stakes of this intergalactic war and sees a beloved character's final fight.
