It seems to me one reason TLJ is so contentious and why, at this point, every Star Wars film is going to get rigorous critique is that we all have our own relationships with the franchise and ideas it brings up.
I can imagine it must have been very hard for you to see Han go that way. When you're really invested in a character who's been around over decades, it's like losing a person in your life. Now, me, I had killed Han off in my head canon about eight years before TFA, so even though I was completely unspoiled for his death, I was also totally emotionally prepared for it.
I guess it's a sign of great art, though, that it can both move us and wound us.

He killed Han and I was very invested in Han.
