Han Solo's death in Star Wars: The Force Awakens led to a surprising honor, as the resulting star from Starkiller Base's destruction was named 'Solo.'
The Star Wars canon offered a surprising tribute to Han Solo after his death. While trying to reach Kylo Ren on Starkiller Base in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Solo met his untimely end when his son stabbed him with his lightsaber. The moment was among the most pivotal in the sequel trilogy, having a profound effect on a number of the characters away and present for Han's death.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Han's true mission to Starkiller ultimately succeeded, even if it took time and pain to be fulfilled. His last act of forgiveness and love for his son embodied who Han Solo was beneath his rough exterior, the heart of gold pushing past the bravado.
To honor Han's death, the resulting star was unofficially named the "Solo" by survivors of the battle. Beyond giving his life to show his son the light, Han was instrumental in the destruction of Starkiller Base. The smuggler planted explosives in the thermal oscillator where Han's final confrontation with Ren transpired which, when blown open, was left vulnerable for an attack run by Poe Dameron to take down the weapon.
The True Nature Of "Solo" Makes The Name A Beautiful Tribute To Han There's a sweet irony in the new star's name. Han received his last name from an Imperial officer because he didn't have a family, but "Solo" joining a binary system adds to the theme that he was never truly alone. It took Han many years to allow himself to be vulnerable, but the scoundrel always had his trusty co-pilot Chewbacca at his side and eventually became a general for the Rebellion.
When Starkiller Base's cold features were blown away, all that remained was the burning heart of "Solo." Han gave off a passive nature when he met Luke and Leia in A New Hope, but he had a heart of gold and returned to the Battle of Yavin to save his friends. He would act selflessly many times in the following years for the people he cared about, who returned the favor out of equal loyalty.
