Both Han and Liea still have major character arcs in ROTJ. They just aren’t as dumb as you would like them to be. 😃

LOL I’ve read enough of your comments over this thread not to take your attitude to heart (and to know that we’ll probably never agree) but seriously what character arcs? 😛

Han gets rescued. Is made a full time Alliance general in a scene that we don’t see. Goes from event to event as the plot dictates. The unique aspects of his character neither influence nor are influenced by any of these events.

Leia rescues Han. Is made a combat soldier in a scene we never see; is (apparently) not an acting Allinace leader, representative or member of High Command. Proceeds to go from event to event as the plot dictates. Has a super villain revealed as her father, and a long lost brother revealed, neither of which influence her character nor influence her or events in any way subsequently.

Sorry, but these are not arcs. I tend to by and large agree with the vein of Bingo and Frink’s criticisms. I’m glad you you enjoy the film so, though, and can take so much out of it.

My benign best to you.
