Maybe people wouldn’t have minded the lightsaber toss so much if he did it like he tossed his green saber in ROTJ.
Exactly. The way TLJ framed the shots, timed the music cue, and choreographed it, led up to a slapsticky moment meant for comedic impact. If the execution were a bit more serious, it could have been more powerful. It’s probably one my least favorite moment’s in the movie cause it was so close to working.
