Every time he sees that scarlet lightsaber ignite he flinches. It's the brightness of it, he tells himself, or worrying about his old relic of a freighter, but that's not really it; it's just the lie a father tells himself because he's still worried that one of these bursts of anger is going to mean the extinction of Han Solo.
He doesn't really want to die, but then again, he never thought he'd live this long either.
"I wish you weren't so torn up inside by what everyone around you thinks." To say that Han doesn't care about what anyone thinks of him ever would be untrue, but he's far less concerned about his persona than most. He's certainly never felt a burden to live up to any of his ancestors - he hardly knew who any of them were.
