Arguably, leaving it the way it is creates a lot of questions that I had never considered before. Like, if Leia DID fully complete her training (it being the last night of her training when she quit) why didn’t she simply become a Jedi again when it was clear that Luke wasn’t coming back on his own? Ya know, instead of just being another general?
Stuck between a rock and a hard place. I think I agree with everyone else that we just have to acknowledge Disney’s approach in the sequels was to have all the old heroes fail so the new ones could shine. Which is dumb, but there’s nothing we can do about that.
