Author's Notes: Ironically, the background for Han in Solo was what I’d usually envisioned for him: hardscrabble and on his own, but then this alternative background took hold of me before I saw the movie and the idea simmered for years. I like the contrasts between our rogue smuggler and the family he grew up with. :)
For any who think the use of ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad’ is jarring, I thought ‘Mother’ and ‘Father’ too formal for Han, and ‘Ma’ and ‘Pa’ is more Clark Kent-ish, ha, ha, so I went with ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad’. ;)
On Corellia, ‘keep’ and ‘castle’ are used interchangeably.

The feasting and dancing were epic. )

Breakfast campfires were lit as the camps came awake. People chattered cheerfully while consuming fresh food cooked in firepots. The day promised to be cool and crisp, perfect Leaftide weather. There was not a rain cloud in sight. )

The nearby camps were quiet. Luke stuck to the gardens, letting the beauty of the surroundings relax him. A hummingbird flitted from red flower to red flower as its wings beat at a furious pace. Colorful leaves blew around as a gentle breeze drifted through the gardens. )

From far and wide, Clan Solon came to its ancestral keep. Some came via the Traditional Way, in a caravan of horses that stretched out for a long distance. Others came by modern methods like hovercar and light train, but still dressed in the Old Ways. Anyone seeing the pilgrims would understand they were on a Gathering Journey. )

I had seen the movie on its Opening Day last year and never got around to the review, mainly because I was aggravated by something that still ticks me off.

I went with my sister to see Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens yesterday, and here’s my review. If you don’t want a review with spoilers, skip reading behind the cut.

I had no expectations of this film. Did it live up to the hype? Of course not! No film could, but it wasn’t a bomb, either.

I give this film a solid B, and would be tempted to bump it up to a B+ because of the shining presence of Harrison Ford as Han Solo. :)

Was I entertained? Yes.

Was I disappointed? Yes.

MAJOR spoilers )

For those wanting my recommendation without spoilers, if you’re a Star Wars fan, go see this film. If you’re a Han Solo fan, definitely go see this film. There is new stuff mixed with old (a little too much repeating of Episode IV, IMO) but this movie is a darned sight better than the prequel trilogy.
