I don’t know if it’s a general hatred of the character per se, but he was quite adamant that Han should have died in RotJ. He was willing to reprise the role later as long as they killed him.
I mean what is Han supposed to be in Star Wars now? It was probably pitched to him as a bad ass gun slinger that doesn’t care for the rules/laws and gets the girl anyways. Immediately the world and story grows well beyond the possibilities of a gun slinger having real impact.
He’s a side character, who can’t really effect the universe he is surrounded by and falls into a grumpy father figure role. He was just in the new movies for nostalgia.
Luke can defeat entire armies, Leia secretly a force user that effects entire governments, he uh, smuggles some items sometimes. Could be replaced by near any other normal human out there, as every new character near immediately learns how to fly a ship, shoot down other ships or has a droid that can do it for them.
“But he can understand what a wookie is saying”
Wait, suddenly everyone else that is around the wookie for 2 days can as well.
I know this isnt cannon, but it my personal head cannon. I’ve always thought of Han as somebody that “the force” is using as a pawn to maintain balance and as a result, has a shit ton of “luck”.
I’ve always wanted to see media in the SW cannon to explore this kind of concept minor force users that either unknowingly use the force, or the force uses to maintain balance in the universe/galaxy.

“Hate” is hyperbole; he just doesn’t like the character much.

He did just fine in the (now non-canon) books as a main character!

Isnt Han known to be force sensitive to some degree due to his flying skills?
