I liked BB8 a lot more than C3P0 and R2D2

I was never a C3P0 fan. I don't really get how people can love him in the originals but despise Binks so much. C3P0 is the Jar Jar of the original trilogy.

Must admit, I do think he had the funniest scene in the film though. That sad music playing over the long awaited Han/Leia reunion and then he just pops in with some useless information.

And when he said something like "you probably didn't recognise me because of my new arm"

I wouldn't be surprised if he phoned it in. Apparently he wanted to be killed off in the original trilogy and he only did this film on the condition they killed him because he wanted to be done with it (that's just a rumour though). I wish he hadn't of died though

Either he or Leia literally had to though for story mirroring which this film was really all about. Annie became Darth Vader when he "killed" Amidala, until then there was still "light in him", and in this one he was only linked to his parents so one of them had to go as that final step. And because of the running father / son theme of Star Wars, and it again being a mirror of a Luke / Vader scene (but almost light/dark reversed?), it really had to be old Solo.



Its a fair sacrifice if it helps Kylo to dry those eyes...
