Everyone else was just like: “Oh, fuck: It’s Vader!” and standing around in shock and terror when Vader was revealed. Even Chewie.
Most people, I suspect, would have that reaction.
Meanwhile, Han’s first reaction, instinctively, in less than a second, was to grab a gun and try to flat-out end the guy.
He failed, of course. But God Damn if you can’t appreciate the effort.
Also, he grabs his girl’s hand. Not only is he going to end Vader, he’s going to do so while reassuring the woman he loves that this monster who tortured her won’t hurt her again as long as he’s there to do something about it.
The point of this scene:
Han was nothing to Vader. Not really. Han was just a normal, average guy. Vader didn’t think too much of him.
“I have superpowers; you don’t!”
But then: doesn’t Han show more love, affection, guts and courage in this moment than any Jedi warrior ever could?
Thus, Vader is shown up.
Attempting to kill an evil wizard with a regular gun is one of the most Han Solo things ever. I don’t think most people would even bother trying, because you can’t just shoot Darth Vader, right? Of course not. But Han’s gonna goddamn try it anyway.
Yeah, basically’ Han tried.
Sometimes that’s all you can ever ask of someone.
Just one of many reasons I love this man
With Han, you never have to wonder, “Why didn’t he just shoot them?” Whenever you’d think that, he shoots them.
Han Solo is a practical soul and if he’s got the chance to just shoot them he’s gonna take it
okay but if we’re comparing this to periods you need to listen to me
i have been on birth control for YEARS. it does not change much. there are three weeks’ worth of pink pills in neat little rows. there is one week of placeholder white pills. without fail, i get my period on the third or fourth day of the white pills.
let me tell you what happens every month: I FORGET THAT SHARK WEEK IS UPON ME.
why am i so hungry? i muse to myself. why am i craving steak? why, even when i deny myself heavy stuff like steak and dairy, is my stomach so upset? why does my whole body ache? why is it so hard to sleep? why am i so much more tired than i’d expect even given how poorly i’m sleeping? where did these zits come from?
OH WAIT, i exclaim, probably caught out in the wilderness all alone wearing all white over my favorite pricey underwear, with no tampons for miles. IT’S THAT THING THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME. EVERY MONTH. FOR THE LAST FIFTEEN YEARS.
what i am trying to communicate is i get where the op of this post is coming from but I AM THAT WEREWOLF
they have calendars with the lunar cycle mapped out there’s literally no excuse
Even with a handy little full moon widget on my phone, I lose track of it.
I mean, I’m not a werewolf. But it happens even with help like that.
It’s not even about “they forget it’s the full moon” in this analogy. It’s more like: “Why do I feel like shit and why am I covered in hair?” “Bro, it’s the full moon” “Yeah, but like why do I wanna eat sheep and bite people?” “FULL MOON” “Yeah but… I mean…?” “WERE. WOLF.” “Yeah, nah… I think I’ve got bird flu.”
