Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Predicting The Plot In 10 Steps

7. Han Solo's Funeral

At Star Wars Celebration in Europe, Carrie Fisher let slip that Han's funeral would feature in Episode VIII, and that's not really surprising.

This will be among the film's most poignant moments; a calm before the storm that will show the Resistance enjoying one last moment of peace before the film's conflict kicks into gear.

The film will also intersperse some shots of Kylo Ren here. Leia stands up and reads a touching eulogy. The music dies down, until only her voice can be heard. We see shots of Kylo putting on his helmet, signifying that Ben Solo died when Han did.

The scene ends with Leia's speech. Han Solo has been put to rest, and now, Episode VIII can begin to movie forward.
