Word

– Star Wars is the classic melodrama: Good guys wear white and bad guys wear black. You know who’s who from the start of a scene. Han Solo is the one exception: he wears black over white. He starts out as a bad guy: selfish, obsessed with money, and only looks out for number one. However, he undergoes a change during the movie; the classic protagonist. At the end of Episode IV A New Hope, after fleeing with his reward, he returns dramatically to save Luke and help destroy the Death Star cementing his place in the Rebel Alliance.

– The journey of Han is an example of coming of age. Look back at yourself as a child and a youth. Were you selfish, obsessed with money, and only looking out for number one? At what point did this start to change for you? When did you start to love sacrificially? Look at your children. Do you see Han Solo in them? Teach them diligently and with patience. With God’s grace, they too may return to dramatically save the day and cement their place in the Rebel Alliance of life.
