[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we're using the Star Wars universe as an educational tool, it bears mentioning that Kylo Ren never would have existed if Han Solo was a decent person who respected boundaries and the notion that "no means no."

"My hero and lifelong role model, Han Solo, approaches a woman who has told him at every opportunity that she's not interested. Han comes up from behind and presses his body against hers. She's a strong woman, a fighter, so she physically shoves him off.

Undeterred, Han moves back in, grabs her hands, and starts rubbing them. She says, "Stop that," and looks nervous. When he doesn't stop, she clearly says it again. He still doesn't stop. Romantic music plays.

This exchange follows:

Han: What are you afraid of?

Leia: Afraid?

Han: You're trembling.

Leia: I'm not trembling.

Han: You like me because I'm a scoundrel. There aren't enough scoundrels in your life.

Leia: I happen to like nice men.

Han: I'm a nice man.

Leia: No you're not. You're ...

And he kisses her. Note: Her head is pressed up against a metal wall, and all of this occurs in a sealed spacecraft floating in the cold vacuum of outer space. Even if she wanted to leave, she couldn't (because of the implications). The result of this encounter is that she falls in love with this man and [b]they spend the rest of their lives together."[/b]

hah except they don't (and that's the whole problem for Kylo Ren - separated/busy parents who ship him off to his uncle). So that is one thing that corresponds to real life. A guy like Han Solo never settles down into a good family man and he doesn't in the movie universe either.[/quote]
