Totally agree. He reminds me very much of Han Solo. He's cool and good looking.

He wasn't in Force Awakens that much because he was scripted to die fairly early into the movie, but script changes literally at the last minute created an opportunity for his character to be kept alive, but with so much of the movie written and parts of it already filmed, it was too late to give him a much bigger part than he got.

This is why there was confusion over him dying in the Tie Fighter wreckage but suddenly turning up at the Rebel Base. Because I believe he was meant to die in that wreckage but because they re-wrote his script and included him in the end battle sequences, they had to fudge over the entire "where have you been and how did you leave the planet" plot hole.

Probably by singing folk music while delivering the killing blow. :P
