#yes i know this take is extremely ahistorical but it amuses me personally so.

I don't know what brought it to mind, but I got to thinking about Han's hilarious expression when Leia tells him that she loves Luke because he's her brother, and we all know exactly why he's so "lol what" until he decides to roll with it.

I do really enjoy that he's allowed to have this response that doesn't minimize how absolutely batshit this reveal would be for anyone actually involved in the situation, despite it working conveniently to wrap things up in the narrative.

I also enjoy that after he processes the shock of Luke and Leia being siblings and Leia knowing about this (with zero explanation of how long she's known about it at that point), he's like ... eh, whatever, this is awesome actually.

#i have my issues with film canon han but i do really enjoy that his ultimate response #is basically 'weird but whatever works' #also because i sometimes low-grade ship han/luke i do think from that angle it's even funnier #because han is thinking he's like the sexy dangerous YA love triangle option vs leia's wholesome bff luke #but if you subscribe to the han/luke gospel he's realizing that /he/ was the YA heroine all along :P #yes i know this take is extremely ahistorical but it amuses me personally so. #(also both luke and leia are simultaneously the wholesome yet dangerous option) #(and i will die on this hill #leia is sexier though) #anghraine babbles #deep blogging #/ #// #/// #//// #///// #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #* #** #*** #**** #***** #star wars #han solo #leia skywalker organa #luke skywalker
