Yeah, I agree. I’ve felt like making a less-bathos cut of TLJ, but I wouldn’t cut out all that much. I might not even cut out the lightsaber toss, they have a purpose.
Where Marvel humor seems to only be there out of self consciousness of the dumber aspects of the superhero genre, TLJ’s bathos serves a worthwhile purpose. I think Rian Johnson went too far in a lot of places, but especially after watching his commentary I know what he was going for.
