'Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens' Spoilers: Original Character Dies?
As the long-awaited film nears its December release date, fans are surely feeling the force with some speculating and spreading rumors about the film's storyline.
In a report published by Making Star Wars, the film will be the last appearance of Harrison Ford as his character Han Solo would be killed by the Sith Lord Kylo Renn. The film would have a scene where Solo confronts Renn was already shot at Berkshire's Pinewood Studios. The website states that the confrontation ended with the villain who "silences the conversation forever." The scene was followed by a very emotional Chewbacca who, "lets out a barrage of angry roars and laser blasts." The report ends stating that Han Solo was never in any scene afterwards.
"This is verified as having been shot at Pinewood. These are the scenes and the documented players in them. The information is very accurate and very broad. It isn't from the script," the report continued.

The film's director, J.J. Abrams, shared with BBC News his sentiments about the spoilers and "leaks" circulating the web.
"We did the best we can to preserve the story for the audience, but it doesn't always work," the director said. "There are a ton of rumors – some true, some false. But I'm grateful for everyone who would want to read a spoiler because it means that they care and want to see the movie. I know what it feels like, as an enormous Star Wars fan myself."
There is a big possibility of the plot being true, especially when the 71-year old Ford figured into an accident early in the production. It is highly likely that he will not come back to reprise his role in the upcoming "Star Wars' films.
"I thought he should have died in the last one to give it some bottom…George [Lucas] didn't think there was any future in dead Han toys," Ford said in 2010.
"Star Wars Episode VII" has a release date of December 18, 2015.
