TFA had its fair share of idiotic humour (the cringe worthy rathtars) and nobody batted an eyelash, in fact some even praised it “OMG SW now has comedy in it LOL”, and Johnson has decided to continue with Abrams brand of humour but now everyone is like “WTF Johnson is ruining SW with his comedy”. Seriously why? I don’t get it.
I would need to rewatch the movie but the only bit I do remember smiling was when a woman is doing a medical check on Chewbacca, because that’s the most OT Chewbacca bit of the movie (in the rest of his scenes, Chewbacca felt more like a terciary character with forced attempts at humor, being there just because without adding something substancial). Dunno why, but that bit reminded me of Chewbacca after the Imperial probe droid from TESB self-destroyed, I always smile at Chewie’s reaction there. The rest of the comedy from TFA felt very forced, not based in the characters just being themselves as in the OT.
