Star Wars: 10 Exact Moments We Knew These Characters Were Doomed
3. Han Solo Meets His Son Face-To-Face - The Force Awakens
It only took 35 years, but The Force Awakens finally saw Harrison Ford get his long-awaited wish.
And while many would confess to being wholly shocked at the most devastating development to come out of the first Sequel flick, that and the fact that Luke Skywalker didn't even get the chance to utter a single word, in truth, eagle-eyed fans could very much feel this demise coming.
With much of The Force Awakens taking inspiration from another beloved Star Wars tale in A New Hope, it felt somewhat appropriate that the wise old mentor of this flick would fall in a similar fashion to that of Ben Kenobi in that fourth episode.
Upon stepping out to come face-to-face with his fallen Jedi son Kylo Ren, the eery similarities to that aforementioned Vader/Kenobi showdown were glaring for many. Add into that the late inclusion of the rest of the heroic gang arriving on the scene to watch the pair's interaction from afar, and Solo's end was all but confirmed.
Helpless to save the iconic smuggler as he is impaled by his lad, Rey, like Luke before her, is forced to take the next steps on her journey without her new-found mentor.
