Ok so even though the novelization is almost an entire different story, people are still going to use it as an excuse to, say, Luke’s characterization, for example. Great.
What?
Hyperbole at its best. It just has been a somewhat stressful month of February.
The thing is the novelization is providing much more insight into things such as character motivations and actions and backstory and the movie should’ve done that too. But it didn’t and people are going to say “go read the novel!”
