Couple of random thoughts/musings:
- Is Princess Leia the new Jar Jar Binks? Her acting was so wooden. There was nothing behind her aged face that reminded me of Princess Leia. When I saw Han Solo bound thru the door of the Falcon the first time, he seemed very much like Han Solo. I didnt see Princess Leai in this film at all. Fisher might as well have been playing a different character. Will Leia become a drag on each film gong forward?
I’m having trouble connecting this part to the rest of your point. Is everything we don’t like in Star Wars automatically the new Jar Jar Binks? Jar Jar sucks because he’s racist and shrill. That comparison should mean something more specific than “not good”.
Allow me to draw the connection. Jar Jar was useless and was there to attract kids. Leia is useless and is here to attract (some of) OT fans.
I knew she would suck if she appeared again and I said so back when she was confirmed for the role. A lot of people here were “flaming” me back then for that.
