Also after seeing what feels like a conclusion to Hera’s B-plot, I feel most of it can just go. It felt like it accomplished absolutely nothing.
Hera’s plot definitely needs to go. Leia sending Threepio instead of just going there herself reeks of obvious real world complications.
I’m surprised they just didn’t say that she was tied up with some business on some random planet. Instead, it comes across like she doesn’t care enough about Hera to come in person.
