I assumed #HarrisonFord simply disliked playing #HanSolo and liked playing #IndianaJones. The reason Ford wanted Solo to die is surprisingly very story-driven: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fI4H6Hucp2Y
I disliked #HanSolo's death in #TheForceAwakens, but from a story standpoint, as expected of a good father, he was leaving himself completely open to his son. Only his son foolishly decided to kill him, but that action and its consequence were dulled by Solo's reappearance in #TheRiseOfSkywalker.
As cool as Han sacrificing himself earlier may sound, actors shouldn't decide characters' direction. #Characters belong to #Writers, not #Actors or the #Audience. Actors or audience feeling they own characters shows the characters are written well.
I do think #Actors and #Audience get a sense of who #Characters are, and #Writers should respect that, but not respect it so much they don't follow through on their own plans for characters.
A hurdle w/ popular #Characters who become #Franchises is eventually they aren't bound by a single writer's plans. The plans are instead hashed out by many writers, giving the final product a good chance of being #Hash. #Pun
Imagine this conversation:
#HarrisonFord: I'd like #HanSolo to die sacrificing himself for #Luke and #Leia's benefit.
#GeorgeLucas: That's not the story I have in mind.
