Oh, I know. This started as posting a silly TikTok.

To honestly fix it, I imagine you’d need to define why Luke gave up the search. I’d love for it to be he sensed Grogu and left to go be in The Mandalorian and was simply to preoccupied with training Jedi after that to bother with finding ancient Sith and Jedi attifants… but that’s really the only thing I could see doing it.

Also, not a plot hole, but why did Lando stay on Pasaana for 30 years? Like, Luke bails on the search, and Lando just… vibes in the desert for 30 years? Gave up searching for (presumably) Jannah?

To be fair, Luke and Lando’s quest ended 13 years before the sequel trilogy (sometime after Rey’s parents were killed, and a lot of time after Mando). It hardly makes Lando’s decision to retire as a hermit any more reasonable, nor does it retroactively make the film more sensical. It bugs me how much of this necessary background was tossed aside only to show up in ancillary material. Cutting the subplot about Lando’s tragedy yet keeping his meeting with Jannah is one of the strangest choices in SW history ever.
