If Harrison Ford had it his way, his character would have been killed off at the end of the first trilogy. He now says that he's always found the character a bit boring and thought it might add some zip to the proceedings. George wouldn't go for it though, because Han Solo merchandise was a big thing at the time and being dead would definitely hurt sales. You don't see people buying too many charred Uncle Owen.
It's interesting though how the cast sees the series years later.
