When he thinks about what Kylo Ren has done - the villages he smashed through looking for god knows what, the role he played in the activation and use of yet another superweapon that turned a whole system into dust, the lives he snuffed out like they meant nothing ...
He just can't fathom it.
How could that be his Ben? The kid that fit so well into his arms that he never wanted to let him go. There were days like that, Ben Solo, they were just so long ago you probably can't remember them. Your father never has. It just makes these days that much more heart wrenching for him.
"This isn't what you want." He says quietly. At first, it seems so typical of him. A knee-jerk response coming from the old scoundrel. He's always been the guy that, when you hear him arguing with you, you wonder if he took the other side just to be a contrarian. Like he's arguing with you just for the sake of it.
And maybe, he did feel that way when he said it at first, but the more he thinks about it, the more it seems so painfully obvious ...
"You don't need to do this. You don't have to struggle to fight for them, it ain't your cause." Han says that with faith because he believes it to be true. And then he adds, "Maybe your Uncle's isn't either."
