lolife67 12/26/19 11:41:01 PM #19:	Not only were they not that close (neither ever brings him up again in 5 or 6. Han didn't even seem to really care he died) but they didn't even know him as "Ben." Only Like called him that and was close enough that naming his kid that made sense. It's pretty dumb and was done simply for nostalgia's sake.
