Yes, Faraday is great. The reason he agrees with you on this Sherlock is because he is following a similar philosophy as you with his novelization. He doesn’t care as much about the surrounding facts, only the story currently being presented.

Anyways, I just don’t buy that somebody as vibrant as Lando would spend all that time on such a desolate world in retirement, even if the locals are nice. I’d imagine him continuing to travel around the galaxy if he wanted to forget his troubles.
