10 Greatest "I'm Dead And I Know It" Star Wars Moments

10. Han Solo Gives His Son The Strength To Do It - The Force Awakens

Harrison Ford finally got his long-awaited wish in the closing stages of J.J. Abrams' reigniting of the Star Wars hyperdrive that was The Force Awakens.

And while the actual visual of the iconic smuggler-turned-general plummeting to his death on the back of sharing one last touching moment with his boy Ben as the two reconnected on Starkiller Base was certainly shocking to behold, the second Han Solo stepped out onto that dizzying walkway fans were already bracing themselves for the seemingly inevitable.

So too was Solo, as it goes, with the quick-witted commander of the Millennium Falcon having the look of a man on borrowed time throughout his desperate conversation with his fallen son. Even when a clearly conflicted Kylo Ren seems to hint at leaving his dark days behind, Solo's face as the grandson of Darth Vader offers his lightsaber to his paps before the room ominously fades into darkness tells the story of a father who knew a tragic and definitive conclusion was likely right around the corner.

But instead of struggling against his son, Solo accepted his boy's wishes and left his life with one solitary stroke of his cheek.
