I feel like RJ thought he was coming up with the new “We’re all fine here, now, thank you…how are you?” scene, but didn’t understand what made that scene work so well.

FYI, that’s the scene “Who talks first?” reminds me of the most. I can 100% see that whole scene coming out of SW77 Han Solo’s mouth. I still think that whole thing was done very well and is what made me sit back, smile, and say “Star Wars is in good hands” within the first 5 minutes of TFA.

I still think that is mostly the case, though there have been plenty of missteps, several of which were in TFA, even. But that opening Poe/Ren scene wasn’t one of them for me.
