Someone expressed their opinion and you seem to feel the need to prove them wrong. Why?
Cartoony humor is different from subtle, smart humor. Star Wars had subtle humor, not in-your-face slapstick.
You certainly may disagree, but that doesn’t undermine or lessen those of us who share this opinion.
I’m simply reminding that certain things TLJ is being pilloried for are not new in Star Wars.
And there was plenty of unsubtle humor in ROTJ. Nothing in TLJ rises to the level of Chewbacca swinging from a vine yelling like Tarzan. A joke Lucas even repeated in Revenge Of The Sith.
I was personally only referring to the humor in A New Hope, which was subtle and done sparingly. ROTJ was corny and marked “the beginning of the end” for Star Wars being taken seriously.
The Tarzan yells fall under the category I described in my larger post about my disappointment with The Last Jedi. Because it references something from planet earth, which they couldn’t possibly know anything about since all of this takes place “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away”.
This reminds me of a time in the late 80s or early 90s that I decided to try reading a Star Wars spin-off novel. I think it was a Timothy Zahn, but not sure. It said that Luke was drinking “hot chocolate”. I put the book down and never picked it up again. No. This is a different universe. They don’t have chocolate. Even if they had something that was exactly like chocolate, they wouldn’t call it chocolate. Any earth references completely ruin the story.
Obi Wan mentions ducks in the original SW novel. 😉
Yep, and Han and some other Rebel dude are going to “hell.”
