I enjoyed reading this article, but I have to disagree with the idea that Han should have stayed dead. Han lives. He never dies. He just keeps drifting. In fact, his next big drift is coming up soon. I'm not sure if Sung Kang will be there as Han, but one thing is clear: everyone loves Han. We have to see the Fast & Furious series differently. It's more than just Universal's biggest franchise.
This series connects people. For me, it has made it easy to bond with people from all kinds of backgrounds. It’s rare to find someone who hasn't at least heard of the series. Most people I meet have either seen at least one of the movies or know about them. That's when I get to show off my special fact—I’m a friend of Han's. When I show them the photos I've taken with Sung, they always admire me. It’s my moment of victory.
Based on who I am—a female, an Asian, with broken English, and a little older—people often don't expect me to have much to offer. But just by showing those photos with Sung, people start asking me questions. I thank Sung for that.

You're right—the love for Han is undeniable. The "Justice for Han" movement showed just how much fans care about the character and his story. The franchise’s decision to bring him back reflects a unique relationship between the creators and their audience, where fan feedback can directly influence the direction of the story. In a way, it shows how the series prioritizes the wishes of its dedicated fanbase over strict narrative logic, which is a big part of why it's been so successful.
