   We knew that he did, we didn't know how he did, and probably wouldn't have   
   guessed that he would do it in such an uninteresting fashion.  We could have   
   had an adventure of Han Solo, instead of an "origin story" where one character   
   that's not going to    
   show up is the one we're waiting for, the one that's named after the movie.

   I have an evil urge to suggest a trilogy of movies of Old Ben called away on   
   star-spanning adventures, the last showing him getting back barely in time to   
   rescue Luke from the Sandpeople.
