Nothing is more important for me. But I don't think a delay is necessary from what we know. That could of course change.I don't know about the validity of that rumor (the delay). If the choice is between delaying the movie or minimizing Han, it's obvious they should just delay the movie. JJ wanted more time anyways right?
I know this goes without saying, but I want this movie done right.
This Harrison Ford injury is causing havoc with Episode VII's schedule, but my sources are adamant: #StarWars remains on track for Dec. 2015”

I wouldn't totally dismiss these rumors quite yet. I wouldn't be shocked if Lucasfilm delays the film at this point. I mean, depending in how and if they can work with this new schedule. Sure these are just rumors, but wow, they're running strong. I expect to hear from Lucasfilm very soon. Maybe this week or the next. I hope.

He had this to say last month about the role of Han Solo in Episode VII:

Ain't It Cool News - Harrison Ford's Broken Leg May Delay The Arrival Of EPISODE VII
Jeremy Smith
As you all surely know by now, Ford broke his leg a couple of weeks ago in a mishap somewhere in the vicinity of the actual Millennium Falcon on the set of STAR WARS: EPISODE VII. Ford's a tough bastard, so I've little doubt he'll be up and at 'em as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the word coming from the set is that he could be out of service for as long as six months. And this is a huge problem because Han Solo is pretty much the main character of EPISODE VII, leading a galaxy-wide search party for Luke Skywalker.

This rumor is getting a good deal of traction, so I'd expect some kind of official response from Disney fairly soon. Given what I know about EPISODE VII's story (along with the recent hiring of writer-director Rian Johnson for EPISODES VIII and IX), I'm genuinely looking forward to this new trilogy. It took them longer than expected to beat the script into shape, but they're really happy with it, and there's zero possibility of a significant rewrite to work around Ford's injury. Han's the man in this movie. That's not going to change.
"I'd expect some kind of official response..."
Hasn't there already been an official response?
I expect him to be the Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon of the film, down to the dying.I guess Han is going to be like the Qui-Gon Jinn of this movie if the rumors are true. Lots of screentime, lots of traveling, but not be who the story in particular was about or is setting up.
Jeremy Smith is probably the most worthless writer on the internet.
What are you talking about?
Why is he the most worthless writer on the internet?
