“No boy wants to be given a product with a female character on it.”

I Find that a tad sexist. No wonder April was so hard to find when The Nick Line first launched and Gamora was hard to find when Guardians first came out.

According to GeekTyrant.Com there's a rewite on the next script going on, based on the audience reaction to TFA.

And why Black Widow got basically no merchandise whatsoever when both Avengers movies came out.

It's almost as if they've done it on purpose.

It really has been moved? Wonder why. I want to see Episode VIII now!

I admit I would want a male character action figure first, but I would want a female action figure to complwte the set. The Pink and Yellow Rangers and the various females that followed may not have sold as well as Red Ranger and auxiliary ranger from Green on sold but I am sure sold a decent amount, right? It seems solly the #1 character is thought to not sale to desir2d levels just because she is a female.

I wonder if the reaction to Han Solo's death has anything to do with it. Does anyone know if Harrison Ford has anything to do with the rest of the new movies? Did he say this was his final film?

I mean there's always a chance he survived somehow. Remember Darth Maul was killed in a similar way in Episode 1 and then the comics brought him back.

I seriously doubt he is coming back from the dead. Flashback will be the only way and yes I believe it will happen to give us further information on Ben's fall to the dark side. Han's voice may call Ben from the beyond and act as the light that pulls him through in the end. Harrison wanted Han dead and that is what happened. Harrison also gleefully admit he did not have any involvement on the young Han Solo film in pre-production.

Yeah that had me trippin' a bit.
As for Rey's lack of promotion, it sucks, like really really bad. Same thing for Black Widow. You'd think things like that wouldn't happen as much, but you'd be wrong.

What would Han Solo dying in Episode VII have to do with Episode VIII's release date being pushed back?

Not nearly enough though. A lot of those on eBay are the same figure.

Every major Star Wars Collectors line has a Rey figure, any one who wants one has quite a few choices.

Do you know of any place online that has the most reactions to Han Solo's death? I don't hang out on Star Wars forums, so I have no idea what they talk about there.

Anyone in general know a place to read reactions to it? I'm curious to see hit was received.

Rebelscum forums. Although it's mostly the older fans that saw ANH in theaters that are the most butt hurt about it.

Sh*t, it was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. ALL these motherf*ckers've been dead forever by now. I don't get what the big deal is.

Its kind of ironic that Star Wars has basically become Hamlet in that everyone dies. Especially if Luke kicks the bucket too by Episode 9:

- Qui-Gonn = dead
- Obi-wan = dead
- Anakin/Vader = dead
- Padme = dead
- Yoda = dead
- Mace Windu = dead
- Han Solo = dead

Besides Luke/Leia, Chewy and the droids...they've killed off everyone.
