This is true. If anything, I don’t give TLJ guff for throwing out ideas TFA set up. I’d more readily give TFA guff for setting them up in the first place since they weren’t all that great anyway.
Your film will not be made stronger if it torpedoes the foundation it is supposed to be building on. Even if the foundation is flawed.
