Q&As About 'Star Wars': Is Han Solo REALLY Dead?

-
On Quora, many Star Wars fan can't stop themselves from asking "Is Han Solo really dead?" and variations thereof.

As a matter of fact, this is my second (and hopefully final) answer on this issue:

Is there any possibility Han Solo is still alive?
In Act III of Star Wars - Episode VII: The Force Awakens, the following events take place in the First Order’s Starkiller Base, a weaponized planet:
  1. Kylo Ren, aka Ben Solo, stabs Han in the heart with a very unstable lightsaber - fatally
  2. Han then falls from the catwalk into a deep chasm after suffering a fatal lightsaber stab to the heart
  3. A short time after this, the sabotage to the Starkiller Base’s shields allows Resistance X-wings to deliver a fatal attack on the base’s equivalent of a thermal exhaust port. The resulting explosion not only destroys the First Order’s facilities on the weaponized planet but the planet itself
So, considering all these events, and taking into account that Han is a human being and not, say, the Star Wars galaxy’s equivalent of Kal-El….
No.

    Han Solo has passed on. He is no more. He had ceased to be. He's expired on gone to meet his maker. He's a stiff, bereft of life, he rests in peace. His metabolic processes are history. He wouldn't voom if you put 4,000 volts through him. He's turned his toes up. He's kicked the bucket, he's shuffled off his mortal coil, he's run down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisible. This Is An Ex-Smuggler.

How many movies have been made based on Stephen King's 'It'?

How many movies have been made based on Stephen King's It ? It  has been adapted twice for filmed audio-visual media. The first filmed version of  It was a TV limited series; the second was a duology of theatrically-released movies.  The first adaptation of Stephen King’s 1986 doorstop of a novel was a 1990 adaptation made as a two-part ABC miniseries for television. Among the cast members: Tim Reid, Harry Anderson, Annette O’Toole, John Ritter, and Richard Thomas. The miniseries also featured Tim Curry as the evil Pennywise the Clown. Adapted for television by director Tommy Lee Wallace and Lawrence D. Cohen (who also adapted King’s  Carrie  for director Brian De Palma in 1976),  It  was okay but a watered-down take on the scary novel about a group of friends who must face off against a monstrous entity known as “It” twice. Once as kids in 1960, then again as adults in 1990. (Like  11,22.63,  the TV version of It avoids the year 1958, which is where parts of  11/22/63

Talking About 'Band of Brothers' (HBO Miniseries): Why were there no black soldiers in the Band of Brothers TV miniseries?

-

Band of Brothers,  sadly, reflects one of the sad realities of American society in the 1940s - racial segregation in the armed forces. Although there  were  a few all-Negro (as blacks were referred to in those days) units in the U.S. Army and the Army Air Forces that served with distinction in the European Theater of Operations, most black servicemen were assigned to non-combat units in Supply of Services and other support forces. Most of these soldiers were truck drivers, anti-aircraft gunners, barrage balloon handlers, engineers, stevedores, clerks, cooks, corpsmen, and so on. Only late in the war (fall of 1944 and winter/spring 1945) did large numbers of black infantrymen see combat against German forces, and even then they served in all-black units commanded by white officers. © 2001 Home Box Office, Dreamworks SKG, and Play-Tone Pictures The 101st Airborne Division was an all-American unit made up of individuals from many different groups - Easy Company’s first C.O.,

Bolero: The One Movie I Have Seen That I Wish Could Be Erased From My Memory

If you could have 1 movie that you’ve seen in the past erased from your memory, what movie would that be and why? That’s easy.  Bolero. © 1984 Cannon Film Group Now, I have seen more than my fair share of movies that, for one reason or another, I don’t enjoy at all or once liked but have changed my mind about as I have grown older.  Me Before You  is an example of the former;  Avatar  and  Midway  are exemplars of the latter. But writer-director John Derek’s softcore porn movie disguised as an “adventure in ecstasy” is still the dumbest, most boring film I ever paid a movie ticket to go see in an actual multiplex. It’s so bad, in fact, that my friends (yes, I went with a coed group of buds from college) and I decided, collectively, that as spectacular as Bo Derek looks naked, she was way too old to play a nubile if naive girl in her 20s. The story was just a barely-there plot woven together around a series of nude scenes (including the obligatory girl-girl scene) that
