When Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and co. travel to Takodana to meet with Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong'o) in The Force Awakens, you might be wondering exactly why Maz gives Han such a frosty reception.

Granted, there's any number of reasons why the rogue smuggler could piss most anyone off, but given that Maz hasn't seen Han for 25 years prior to their reunion in The Force Awakens, it's gotta be something pretty big, right?

Well, the truth is revealed in Battlefront II's eighth campaign mission "General Distress," where Han visits Takodana and inadvertently brings the Empire to Maz's castle.

As if lining the path to Maz's front door with Stormtrooper corpses wasn't bad enough, Han also gets into a dogfight with a fleet of TIE Fighters and ends up destroying an Imperial Cruiser in mid-air, causing it to crash into the lake near the castle.

I mean, can you blame Maz for being mad? Somebody had to clean all that up.
