We need to talk about that huge scene in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' (SPOILERS)

Warning: There are HUGE spoilers ahead if you have not seen "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

The first showings for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" have let out and there is a lot to discuss.

However, the biggest moment fans will be talking about is the death of a huge character which comes near the end of the movie. 

Last chance to head back before spoilers.

Toward the end of "The Force Awakens," Han Solo confronts the menacing Kylo Ren.

We learn Kylo's his and Leia's son, Ben Solo, and has been swayed by the dark side of the force. Han, sensing there's still good in Ben, hopes to bring him back to the Resistance. 

For some reason, Han thinks it's a good idea to meet his son on a narrow bridge. From the moment he steps foot on the platform, you get the sense someone's not coming back from this.

And when Kylo tells his father, "I'm being torn apart. I want to be free of this pain," you think he may have a change of heart. 

Nope.

Kylo strikes down his father with his lightsaber, solidifying his place as one of the darkest villains in the series. Not even Darth Vader could kill a family member.

Did your mouth drop open as you watched the smuggler fall to his demise? 

Here's the biggest problem I've seen with Han's death after discussing with a few people I've seen it with: You see it coming a mile away so when Han actually steps onto the bridge to meet Kylo you're not completely surprised. The moment he said goodbye to Leia my brother, sitting next to me, whispered, "Oh Han's dead."

I'm also not really sure that Han's death was really earned. It seemed a little rushed to be honest. Were we really supposed to believe that Han was going to be able to sway his son back over to the light side with one talk in the first movie of a new trilogy? No way. We still have two movies to go.

Plus, any time you're on a narrow bridge with two characters someone has got to go.

While we're mourning the loss of Han, there may be something greater to get excited over.

There's been a lot of talk about bringing Harrison Ford back for another "Indiana Jones" movie, another Lucasfilm property owned by Disney. Ford and director Steven Spielberg have said they're on board for a fifth movie and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy told Vanity Fair it would happen "one day." 

Maybe Ford agreed to do "The Force Awakens" under the condition he could do another Indy movie as well.
