I'll give you the "we really weren't invested in that star system they blew up" thing. Heck I'll go one better and say the energy of an entire star should have been enough to blow up thousands more planets before needing a recharge.
However, I've gotta say that, even though I saw the "Han Solo is going the way of Obiwan" moment a mile away, it was still effective for me. Think of it this way. What would be the ONE person a rogue who has, in the past, already learned the importance of trusting people would drop his guard for? Yeah, probably his son. I can believe it because of the unique situation it was. I mean, we're not talking about a bunch of people that act like real people to begin with, we're talking about movie people, and they work differently. They tend to form a lot of love triangles that just don't happen in the real world, for example.
Though, at this point, one has to wonder just who ISN'T related to Darth Vader in that universe in one way or another.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
