5 big questions that ‘Star Wars: Episode VIII’ will need to answer

Posted Filed under

There are several big questions posed in The Force Awakens that will need to be answered in 2017’s eighth Star Wars adventure.

Here are a few of them…

 

Is Han Solo really dead?

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Harrison Ford

Suffering a ghastly lightsaber wound and tumbling thousands of feet into the ether would almost certainly mean death in any other movie franchise – but this is Star Wars.

Luke Skywalker survived something not dissimilar, and while Han was more seriously wounded and doesn’t have the force to assist him, he’s a born survivor.

Until the body is recovered, a funeral is held or JJ Abrams comes out and issues a signed confirmation that he’s definitely killed off everyone’s favourite flyboy, the idea of him being dead can be taken with a pinch of salt.

But even if he is, few would bet against seeing Harrison Ford make a future cameo as a force ghost like Yoda, Obi-Wan and Anakin at the end of Return of the Jedi.
