Empire is too ingrained in my heart & brain.*SW7 Spoilers* (Destiny)

Maybe it isn't super-explicit, but personally, the above is just too burned into my heart to take that said scene in TFA as anything but untrue, especially with Leia ignoring Chewie for a character she hasn't met. Maybe if there was a deleted scene right afterwards, with Leia and Chewie interacting in some way, I could accept it, but as it stands, it just takes me out of the movie.

That is the one thing about Episode VII, it's far enough in the future that you are unsure what their relationships are about since the last movie. Until they told me, I never would have guessed what Han and Leia's relationship was like. If there hadn't been dialogue between them, I would have been SO confused about their relationship. Leia and Chewie don't have that dialogue. I have no idea what their relationship is like in Episode VII. That scene helps me to define their relationship now.

I went into Episode VII assuming that anybody in the last movies weren't necessarily going to be the same people as they were before.
