The weird thing is that Babu just decides to send a transmission to Endor on a whim and prays that there are no Empire sympathizers at the most significant Imperial archeological site ever. Jannah hadn’t even heard of him before she got the message. And yeah, that’s 100% a nitpick, and normally I wouldn’t worry too much about nitpicks; but the R&D was already done, so why not address it?
I guess…here’s my thinking overall: The official film is already held together by duct tape and wishful thinking, so at this point, I just want the main plot elements (like the dagger) to make some amount of sense. Like I’ve said all along, if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work; but I wouldn’t want to just throw out RL’s idea without giving it a fair chance. We’re waiting on other shots in the meantime anyway.
