I sometimes have a hard time telling when people are joking online. There should be a font for that.
I was thinking that the Last Jedi has the same issue Return of the Jedi has. The parts dealing with the Force and the Skywalkers are amazing, but it does leave the other characters a bit out of the loop. Rian tried to give Finn and Poe more to do than Han and Leia in ROTJ.
Well, Han and Leia in RotJ are crucial to the plot of that movie, very different from Finn and Poe in TLJ. Then again, the movies weren’t trying to do the same thing in terms of characters - but I’m not sure if that works as an excuse for TLJ.
You’re right, excuse isn’t the right word, considering this is one of the things that makes TLJ ten times better than ROTJ.
