Yoda and Palpatine NEVER should have been given lightsabers.

While I agree with the thread title, I can’t deny the fact that the Yoda vs Palpatine duel in RotS is a guilty pleasure of mine! 😛

That being said, I absolutely hated the Yoda vs Dooku duel in AotC, and the Palpatine vs Windu/Council duel in RotS.

The Council duel is hilariously bad.

Han Shoots First - Any valid reason to not have Han shoot first?

If you were trying to create a radical fan edit of the OT where Han turns out to be Force sensitive, then you could use him dodging Greedo’s shot as an early clue to his Jedi-like reflexes. Of course, Han having the Force is the only way I can make sense of his point-blank dodge to begin with, cause there’s no way a non-Force user could dodge like that.

With a CGI double Han could flip the table and deflect the blast. Or you’d just have to make him stop the blaster bolt in mid-air just like his son, then you’d have reached the nadir of this sequence’s potential.

The Last Jedi: Official Review and Opinions Thread ** SPOILERS **
Time

It depends on whether you think these characters ever become more than simple narrative roadblocks. Luke’s personal arc aside the others are gone in TROS (Holdo for real and Rose being left for dead by the writers) which means they don’t get further development. A trilogy is a long format that has room to flesh out certain things, but many here have been left almost bare.
