Han Solo dies in "The Force Awakens"?!

I just discovered a compiled synopsis of Star Wars: The Force Awakens which is based on rumors, one of which is about the death of Han Solo. And here's a link about it: http://makingstarwars.net/2015/05/a-compiled-synopsis-of-star-wars-the-force-awakens/ Does Han Solo really die in the movie, or is it just pure speculation?

Yup, proven true, I saw it at the midnight premiere in New Zealand. He is killed by Kylo Ren, who is revealed to be his son. I've edited the article to give a brief synopsis of his role in The Force Awakens, but it will certainly need some cleaning up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.213.0.203 (talk) 21:20, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have misgivings about this content being in the article. The film is still in current release and I don't think it appropriate to have a full plot description including such major plot points. I did insert a Spoiler warning but this was removed since it is currently Wikipedia policy not to use Spoiler alerts. Nevertheless, because this is a new release film, not yet seen by many, I don't think it is wise. Alastairdent (talk) 15:36, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am perpetually amused by people who when they looked up the history of a person/character they think it appropriate to complain because the history of that character had the audacity to include the history of that character. If you don't want to know what happens to Solo (or indeed anybody at all who has an article about them - real or not) don't read the article.
On a less flippant note - where do you draw the line? Do you just censor The Force Awakens information regarding Solo? If that's the case, what about removing the revelation that Vader is Skywalkers father? There are plenty of people out there who haven't seen any of the Star Wars films, and revealing that to them as they embark upon a Star Wars Marathon is pretty harsh?
Or what about removing the ending of pretty much every film that has ever been released - that all falls under the criteria of a spoiler. No, better to just accept that when reading a plot section of a film, or a character synposis - you're going to get from birth to death (or current status).

I'm not sure why these words were chosen to be linked to their Wikipedia articles, but it's unnecessary in this context. I would be curious to know what standard these were based on. We might as well define all words in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kronosys (talk • contribs) 20:52, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It happens all the time. WP is full of irrelevant links. Keep up the good work of removing them but you don't have to mention it on the talk page (too much trouble for such a routine uncontroversial edit), just use the edit summary. Jimp 22:53, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Han Solo is not a drug dealer he is a smuggler who has smuggled drugs but he is not a drug dealer.

Not done for now: IP editor is referring to the [[Category:Fictional_drug_dealers]]. Keeping this open as I would like to see consensus / discussion. --allthefoxes (Talk) 22:19, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I would agree with the IP editor, he certainly is a smuggler, but that doesn't make him a "dealer" in my opinion, just as a drug mule wouldn't. Should probably also remove Chewbacca from that list. Cannolis (talk) 00:27, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed - it's not even clearly established that he sells the drugs he has smuggled, but certainly in the case of the Kessel Run, he's shipping the drugs on behalf of Jabba and pretty much acting as a courier in each case. Chaheel Riens (talk) 08:44, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Affiliation: Galactic Empire

In the past discussion it said this came from the Han Solo trilogy of novels which are Legends now. Is there somewhere else where it's mentioned that he was in the Imperial Navy? If not I think the Galactic Empire Affiliation should be tagged under Legends or removed.24.253.247.171 (talk) 04:17, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
