“They fly now” isn’t that bad to my mind. I thought that Abrams and Kasdan struck a pretty good balance with the humorous dialogue in TFA. It felt antiquated in a good way; a bit out-of-time which is appropriate for a galaxy far far away.
By contrast almost all of the TLJ humor fell flat for me. Too contemporary, too grounded in modern-day meme culture. General “Hugs” is about a lazy and uninspired as humor gets. I’m hoping that Abrams tones it down a bit and gets the humor more in line with what he did in TFA.
